Sitting at her kitchen table with a few beads and a dream, Saskatchewan designer and entrepreneur Rachel Mielke founded Hillberg & Berk in 2007. Using only the finest semi- precious stones and metals, freshwater pearls, and Swarovski crystals sourced from around the world, her handcrafted jewellery line is designed to last throughout time. Along with each season's collection of jewellery, Hillberg & Berk also carries a beautiful array of luxury diamond rings, earrings and necklaces by well-known brands Tacori and Anne Sportun. In addition to designing and selling jewellery, Hillberg & Berk is a huge supporter of charities that empower women. To date, they have contributed over $100,000 to both national and international organizations assisting women. These causes include the Somali Women's Scholarship Program, Global Enrichment Foundation, Miss Representation, Dizzy Feet Foundation, International Centre for Research on Women, and the Malala Fund. In 2013, Rachel was bestowed with a prestigious honour when she was commissioned by the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan to design a brooch for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen is only one of the growing number of celebrities who love Hillberg & Berk's work, including Carrie Underwood, Sarah McLachlan, Michelle Obama, Barbara Walters and Celine Dion.
