Om Treasures

Perfect spot to find a gift for your girlfriend or a loved one. Xmas is coming soon, I’m going there.

Amazing pieces and the owner is very friendly and sincere. Shopped at all the similar shops in Berkeley and found this one to be the best.

AWFUL service. I went into buy a coin skirt. The store owner was talking to someone so I waited for about ten minutes and was not acknowledged once. If I could give 0 stars, I would.

I popped in this tiny store because I had time to kill. It’s very small with brick-​a-​bracs from floor to ceiling on every wall. I had no intention of buying anything. But after the owner, Om, answered all of my questions about the symbols on the jewelry, I really wanted to take a small treasure home. I wish I could give this store 5 stars. But, honestly, everything in there needed a good dusting and/​or polishing. All of the silver was oxidized! Also, because of all the stuff on the floor, it was difficult to reach a lot of things in order to get a closer look. The jewelry all seemed reasonably priced. Overall, I had a nice time visiting this store and will stop by to say «Hello» next time I’m in the area.

They have a large assortment of jewelry at seemingly affordable prizes. Spirit stones and incense also abound. Unfortunately, when it comes to jewelry shopping I need a lot of help and the staff person was not very knowledgeable and did not even try to help me find what I was looking for.

The owner, Om, is SUPER KIND. I’d never been in his store before, wanted to buy a $ 1.99 pack of Nagchampa, but had no cash, just my debit card. There’s a $ 15 min purchase on cards, so he asked me if I lived in the neighborhood. I said yes. He said, «When you have the money, pay me back,» and let me take it. I was floored. Humans beings like this actually exist?! Makes you want to become a better person.
The store is filled with cool stuff; FILLED TOP TO BOTTOM with it. Can be a bit overwhelming as everything eventually starts to look alike, but the owner’s a good guy and there’s a lot of stuff you’ll dig… A LOT.
DEFINITELY CHECK IT OUT!

This place is great for buying hippie stuff. I got some incense and a candle for a non-​stinky-​hippy-​vegan friend of mine. It’s Tibetan so if your last name is Wong or Chong you might get the stink eye. They don’t do a lot of business during the weekdays so you might see the owner and 2 – 3 of the Tibetan mafia outside smoking and cup-​caking. They look like Yakuza but they are harmless. Great for gifts and knic-​kancks.

Top ten things I’d like to buy from Om Treasures:
1. Peacock feather earrings
2. Fancy bindi (I’m bringing the Gwen Stefani look back)
3. Inexpensive silver toe rings
4. Pipe in the shape of an elephant (you smoke out of its trunk, the carb is its butthole)
5. «Om» decal to put next to the Jesus fish on my car (my mom put it there)
6. Earrings carved out of horn
7. Bell charm bracelet
8. Instant henna tattoo for your hands
9. Woven bag from Tibet
10. Giant quartz phallus ($ 275 — that’s quite an expensive schlong)
A real trove of Eastern trinkets and treasures… I likey!
