This little store packs a punch. Filled with knickknacks from items like Butter nail polish to greeting cards that say things like: "Hogs and kisses" with a cute little pig on the front, it's here. I can honestly say that if I lived in Berkeley and ever needed a small gift or a card, this would be my first stop.* Another aspect is that they make most of the jewelry displayed. Nothing too originally crazy, but high quality and delicate for the most part. I'm into it. It's the store where you walk in not needing anything and surely walk out with something, whether it be for someone else or for you. #treatyoself * This seems to be mostly geared to the ladies, so I def wouldn't come here looking for a manly gift. ** Side note: Future brides and wedding people: they also have a lot of wedding themed stuff. read more

viv&ingrid - Card! - Jewelry Near Me - Berkeley, California

Brought my friend here so she could pick out an item she liked for her birthday. She doesn't buy jewelry, so this was a new experience for her and she felt spoiled. As always, the items in stock are beautiful. My friend was extremely happy with the gift. I also had a couple of items dropped off and fixed. It was an easy process. :) read more

I recently traveled to San Francisco on vacation, walked into this store and loved it! Great merchandise and amazing service! I bought 2 rings but unfortunately had an issue with one of them after returning home to Chicago. Anna from viv&ingrid's customer service helped me every step of the way and quickly shipped me a new ring that I just got in the mail! She was so pleasant to interact with and immediately addressed my issue- I am so impressed!! Thank you for everything, I highly recommend to everyone to shop your beautiful jewelry products in store or from your website!! read more

viv&ingrid - Amazing customer service, thank you Anna!!! - Jewelry Near Me - Berkeley, California

I passed by today while the store was still being stocked and was immediately drawn in by the wonderful scents from within the shop. This place is perfectly decorated and the shelves are stocked in aesthetically pleasing ways. The best way I can describe it is that it looks classy vintage chic. It is reminiscent of those random boutiques you bump into while walking in Le Marais. This store is stocked with everything from Berkeley-made jewelry (you can custom order) and great scented candles and soaps to umbrellas and nail polish that is formaldehyde-free and suitable for pregnant women. It does not get any better than this place for me. I came here after spending all day at DMV and was so glad to be greeted by such a friendly sales associate who was nice and knowledgeable. read more

You can always find surprises in this little cute shop. They got delicate accessories, hand cream, perfume, cards, and also tea! I bought some earrings and hand cream here. Their products are high-quality. This is one of my favorite shops over here. read more

Butter London Nail Polishes. Rhetorical question here--do you know how long I have been looking for Butter London Nail Polishes?! Well, lo and behold I found them right here at Viv & Ingrid at Oxford Hall! Here is a place I can indulge my inner girly-girly girliness and divest myself of my armor to relax. Indulge my Euro Francophile rock chic with all the Butter London cosmetics, Volupsa candles, Maison Boucher chocolates, stationery, accessories, and of course Viv&Ingrid jewelry. I tried on some of the cute rings that were at the till. And if it was not so busy when I stopped in, I would have bought one. Definitely feels like a shabby chic type of boutique in Paris, London, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and/or Berkeley for that matter. And I was quite surprised to find out that we Cal Students get a discount with our student IDs. It turns out that Viv and Ingrid are UC Berkeley alumni (Go Bears!). It was 10% off of the total purchase price but it was when I was there, it was changed to 15% off. I proudly showed my Cal ID card when I purchased my Butter London nail lacquer. And I will be back as there is a ring or two with my name on it. Pip Pip Cheerio! Ciao! Toodles! Toodle Pip! And Go Bears! read more

Love this little shop. Owners are friendly and staff is extremely helpful. This is how all little boutiques should be! I have to say the first time I made a trip to this shop, I was severely disappointed because I had hustled my butt out there to make it before they closed but upon arriving, a woman outside told me they were shut down for a private event. MAJOR BUMMER I return a few weeks later and to my relief they were open! After browsing the pieces and chatting it up with one of the owners, I retold my story of my first attempt to the store and she was kind enough to give me 10% off my order that day! Apparently their publicist had organized the whole ordeal and was in full force the previous day. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR SURE Again I returned yesterday to exchange a bracelet I had previously bought after finding a different one on their online shop. After multiple attempts to make it to their store and failing, I finally was able to get there a month and a half later after numerous back and forth emails. And without fail, Kat (an excellent member of their staff) had my exchange bracelet ready to go! She couldn't have made it any simpler. THIS IS OFFICIALLY MY FAVORITE STORE IN BERKELEY!! Now i just hope they get in more of the voluspa ceramic candles ;) read more

They've continued to add things to their collection, including a pretty awesome selection of cards, candles, and nail polish. They sell butter and lippman polish, for those of you who don't want to trek out to nordstrom to find these brands. Also, they have SAMPLE SALES twice a year. They have one around Christmas in December every year, and sometime in the summer for their mid-year one. Definitely planning to hit that up. read more

I like Viv and Ingrid jewelry. Mostly I have their earrings, but also a few rings. I have purchased their products from a local handcrafted arts shop at home and from the designers website but when in Berkeley I like to stop into their little retail shop. The founders/designers were former UCB students who switched to this work from other careers. I am glad they did. This time I picked up a little ring, not the style I was looking for but irresistible nonetheless. read more

This place is so adorable! The store itself is so cute, with cute little vintage pieces (I want their mirrors and the chandelier, but too bad they're not for sale!). I pass it every day on the way and from work/yoga. So I always take a peak through the window to see if there's anything I "need". It's the perfect place to pick up a girl for a friend (or a guilty/therapeutic indulgence for yourself). I picked up a Butter London matte topcoat from here today (since it was payday at work) and I really love it! I'll probably come back when my next girlfriend has a bday (or when I have a horrible workday) read more

Great little spot in a strange location that's close to UC, close to downtown, but really feels out of place based on the the nearby local business and the heavy UC foot traffic. The shop has a decidedly European aesthetic with lots of different European-inspired brands that are actually made in the U.S. I was happy to discover Royal Apothic hand creams and perfume oils and am loving my delicately sweet orange blossom scent. Maison Bouche chocolates, which look as if they've stepped off the plane from France are actually hand made in Oakland. There's an extensive selection of flavors from which to choose. And of course, the Viv & Ingrid jewelry is the showcase of the shop. The jewelry is displayed at the front counter and I like the fact that even though the jewelry is their main business, they have diversified by offering other items like the above-mentioned Maison Bouche, Royal Apothic as well as Butter nail polish, Jonathan Adler and a small selection of cards. Welcome to Berkeley. read more

This place is a dream! Was on a hunt for some silver jewelry today to commemorate a special event. I found this shop and Ingrid was so welcoming and energetic. Her pieces are absolutely beautiful! I was instantly obsessed with the beaded rings and very very happy to know that most of them, along with the hoops were hand beaded. Everything is beautifully crafted and consciously sourced. This business completely aligned with me in every way! More importantly, I had a very special interaction with Ingrid that definitely meant more than the purchase. My whole purpose was to buy a piece that was good quality but also supported local and independent merchants. There is a very real and scary epidemic happening to independent shops that have been apart of Berkeley's rich and unique culture for decades and they are falling off because their businesses are being targeted by local congress that are heavily taxing restaurants, competing with franchises. We are losing OUR CULTURE. It is important that we frequent these shops as much as we can. Put money back into the hands of the PEOPLE. read more

SO cute. Was strolling the area around the Berkeley campus on the way to Cinnaholic when a friend and I stumbled across this adorable little shop. We knew we HAD to stop by on the way back. Everything about this boutique is just adorable - the owners, the display, the puppy that was running around when we walked in... I spent a good half hour browsing the shelves and talking with one of the salespeople. She was super sweet and friendly. As we were shopping, she even turned on some Christmas music and plugged in a space heater with a fireplace visual to get us into the holiday spirit. They have jewelry, stationary, makeup, perfume, anything girly and delicate you can imagine. I wanted to buy out the store and replicate the display in my room! It's so refreshing to visit small businesses like this that really make your shopping experience special. I bought a two-pack of Butter London polishes (for $10!) and a travel journal for my friend. Can't wait to come back and explore some more! read more

This place is super cute! You can tell the owner really cares about getting the right item for each customer. She seemed to have a strong relationship with almost everyone who came in while I was there and was super accommodating when I asked for her to get me a specific earring pair from the back. The only minor downside was that I was kind of in a rush but she kept talking to other customers while I was trying to finish the transaction and waiting for her to ring me up. read more

What a wonderful boutique so close to UC Berkeley campus, the Brower Center and the downtown Berkeley BART. A wonderful collection of jewelry, accessories, beauty products and locally made goods. The owner Ingrid is a wonderful women with a great eye towards beauty and affordability. Stop by for the holiday season. read more

I am not sure why everyone so much praise this place!!! I went there on my way to my cinaholic place, and I thought I stop by. My opinion: over price!!!!! I can find better jewelry and soap and perfumes on Telegraph Ave and other stores in Berkeley and College Ave in Oakland, than the items I saw here. read more

My friend purchased a set of Viv&Ingrid earrings for my birthday last year and I adore them. They are the gold pearl earrings that is hand wrapped and came in an adorable little box. The earrings go with almost every item in my closet. When I can't decide which earrings to pair with my outfit, I always go back to my Viv&Ingrid earrings. They are perfect for work or going out to a dinner event. I am always an advocate of small business owners and it's great to see a small business owner succeed. Looking forward to the many years of being a customer to Viv&Ingrid! read more

We were out near the UC Berkeley campus for a Mother's Day brunch at Gather and I felt like getting some new earrings because I deserve it. :D I saw this store on Yelp while we were out and I am so happy we stopped by!!! Here at this cute boutique I found the cutest stud earrings made with precious metals which is the only type of metal I can wear due to my sensitive skin. Great style, great prices and quality products! read more

I absolutely love, love, LOVE their jewelry. Their designs are unfussy, yet elegant. I seriously stockpile their jewelry - I have dozens of pieces from them. I've purchased their wares at their annual sale, and on their website. Great service each time. Both Viv & Ingrid are eager to help you create pieces for whatever occasion. When I found a necklace that didn't have the exact colors I was hoping for, they swapped out the stones from a pair of earrings. And no, I'm not some friend of theirs... I just think they're fabulous at what they do. :-) read more

We recently stopped in here when my dad was searching for turquoise jewelry to give to a friend. Not only did he find what he was looking for, but I found a little something special for a friend as well. All in all, the store has great and stylish selection, and the owner is super friendly. I'll have to remember to stop here again next time I'm in the Bay Area and in need of souvenirs. read more

This shop is adorable, and the store owner Ingrid and her assistant Ariana are so helpful and personable. I found a lipstick when i was last there, but didn't buy for lack of time. When I couldn't find the product online later, I contacted the store. They responded promptly at off hours, held their last lipstick for me, allowed me to purchase over the phone (since I couldn't make it back to the store in timely fashion), and even offered to research whether the product was being discontinued by the maker. So above and beyond, and can't recommend it highly enough. read more

As a souvenir for my first time in Berkeley, I stumbled across this cute little joint for a pick-me-up. I didn't realize how pricey the jewelry is, but everything looks well-crafted, and the ladies at the counter were friendly and welcoming. Love the vibe and the cute little knick-knacks...it makes my heart happy! read more

Adore.able. They have the prettiest things that you just want to buy for your girlfriends (or secretly yourself!). When you walk buy the air just smells delicious, but not in a overpowering make you want to sneeze kind of way. The woman at the counter was so friendly and attentive, not bored and haughty like boutique staff can be. When I need a little work break this place is my new 15 minute oasis. read more

Love this place! I stopped by to look at jewelry for my maid of honor and bridesmaid and I'm so glad I did. Kat helped me pick out the perfect necklaces and earrings and even offered to do a custom job with 2 days turnaround. Kat was very helpful again when one necklace turned out to be too short: she had the new, longer one made right away so I only had to make 1 trip for the exchange. read more

Charming and sophisticated! Viv & Ingrid have translated their darling line of jewelry into a gorgeous little shop. They have so many treasures here, all so beautifully packaged (like their jewelry) that they seem good enough to eat. And you CAN eat some of them too (yummy chocolates and saltwater taffy)! Of course their earrings and necklaces are here too, and you can try them on to your heart's content. The best part is the warm atmosphere that greets you inside the shop. It smells amazing, and the people that work there (including Ingrid herself) are so down to earth and welcoming. Feel free to ask about the inspiration for the shop's color palette, they'll be happy to tell you! Totally love this place! read more

How can you not be in a happy mood when you go to their store?? Besides Viv & Ingrid jewelry, they also sell Butter London cosmetics, Volupsa candles, Maison Boucher and Charles chocolates, cute stationary, cards, and there are even a few items for the MEN to shop too... Everything in the store is unique. It is a great place to pick out gifts for your friends and don't forget to pamper yourself once a while. I learned from their owner, Ingrid, that she uses high quality materials to make her jewelry and comes up with her own design from things that inspired her...which is what I appreciate..since we are now surrounded by cheap looking jewelry from Forever 21, Zara, H&M.. I want something classy and unique. I brought a pair of ear ring from Viv and Ingrid in 2006 and it will be one of the pieces that I will pass down to my kids in the future. :) read more

This is my go to spot whenever I need a gift! They have a great variety.

A Parisian boutique in the heart of Berkeley. Filled with sweets and petite treats. Viv and Ingrid's jewelry is lovely and timeless.

Love this boutique! Such pretty, pretty things, and lots of sparkle. I love that I can order online, and save on shipping and pick up in store. They have local chocolate (Yum!), candies, and lovely candles, cremes, and make up too. It's like girl heaven. They have awesome customer service, and are so helpful and patient when I can't decide what to buy, and have tried half the earrings in the store. :-) Get on their email list and be notified of special sales, you can grab some fabulous jewelry at great prices. Sure, it might cost a little more, but you're worth it. And they use real gemstones, and quality materials. And don't miss the adorable lacquered cupcake boxes! read more

The prices are high. The quality not so good. walking around the store found nothing special for my special friend. Dont waste your time and money. By the way the owner wrote to yelp made them remove my review several times until I rewrote it the way she felt was appropriate. Go figure the rest...... read more

My step daughter turned me on to Viv & Ingrid and I am glad she did. I bought a lovely pair of earrings for me and one for her too. We were leaving on a cruise and I wanted the earrings before I left. Anna did a fabulous job in getting them out the same day and by Monday I had them in my hands. THANKS ANNA, you give customer service a great name!!! Great earrings too! read more

Viv&Ingrid is a lovely little oasis in the bustle of downtown Berkley. Whenever I go to the Bay Area, it's part of my circuit of favorite places to visit and see what new goodies they have. It's filled with the most charming things, like vintage kid's toys, cute little cards, nice smelling lotions, Maison Bouche chocolates (which is local!), and of course, their beautiful jewelry. The last time I visited, Kat was a great consultant when I couldn't make up my mind about what to get as a gift for a friend. I love the complimentary gift wrapping and my friend loved the earrings and the cute little bag they came in. Can't wait to go back and get myself something next time! read more

This little shop is full of small, pretty things. It's a perfect place to hunt for a unique gift (think paper clips in the shape of elephants, stuffed animals made from vintage hand towels, men's grooming products made from biofuel). Other highlights include delicate jewelry and soaps with exotic ingredients. But mostly it just smells delicious and makes me happy. read more

Looking for a Mother's Day gift last second and came upon this very unique little store. They had it all- flowers, candles, necklaces, bracelets and cards.The staff was very helpful and my mom was so surprised that her youngest son had such great taste. Thank You Viv and Ingrid, I'll be there for my girl friend next! read more

Five stars for our FAVORITE East Bay boutique! So many goodies to choose from and such a sweet and thoughtful store owner. Ingrid is a true gem and inspiration. In addition to carrying their designer best selling accessories, they have the BEST selection of beauty and stationary products, including Butter polish, Rifle Paper Co. and Tocca scents. Their newly renovated pop-up space has also been the ideal partner for our budding online business, bringing in great foot traffic and creating the perfect shopping atmosphere. It's always a joy to visit, shop, and pop-up at Viv&Ingrid! read more

What a delightful boutique near campus. I came in looking for gifts for a new baby and a new mama. I found perfect gifts for both! The boutique has unique cards, gourmet chocolates, scented soaps and candles, Butter cosmetics, and of course, Viv&Ingrid designed accessories. Very cute, I"ll be back to support this local, small business! read more
