How has Women Entrepreneurs of Saskatchewan Inc. helped you and your business?

The women of W.E. have always been there for me through the growth of my business.  I know that when I am taking on a new challenge they will be there to lend an ear and offer support and guidance through business advising.  I have also been able to further develop my skills as an entrepreneur through W.E.'s training and business conference.  I owe a lot of my success to the support, guidance, and training I received from Women Entrepreneurs of Saskatchewan. 

A love of jewellery and a passion for fashion led Rachel Mielke into the world of jewellery design a few years ago. And today stands Hillberg & Berk. Rachel started her company in 2004 and since then it has experienced phenomenal momentum. 

In a few short years, Rachel has taken Hillberg & Berk from a local jewellery line to a national product and soon to be international line. Hillberg & Berk was launched into the limelight when Rachel was chosen to attend the 2008 Pre-Oscar Luxury Gifting Lounge in Los Angeles and her appearance on CBC's Dragons' Den.

Rachel designs beautiful and timeless jewellery for the sophisciated woman. Each piece is hand crafted and made with the finest semiprecious stones and jewels. 

Her successes have earned her a 2008 Regina Chamber of Commerce Paragon Award for Entrepreneurship as well as the Regina YWCA Women of Distinction Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. Check out the Hillberg & Berk website to see her beautiful pieces at www.hillbergandberk.com.
