Rubio Jewelry - Ucluelet, British Columbia

This is a must stop on your trip to Tofino. Excellent selection of hand crafted jewelry as well as glass and carvings from local and Indigenous artisans. Reasonably priced and the attentive service was refreshing. He explained the significance of each piece and told us about the artists. We bought 3 silver rings for us sisters with hand carved tree branches to signify relationships. I also bought a crystal sculpture with cobalt blue that is shaped as a rain drop. Stunning. I also picked up a beautiful wood hummingbird carved by an Indigenous artist. The best way to support these beautiful destinations is to buy local merchandise and eat in local restaurants. Thank you for your fine work and creations that will remind me of my trip for years to come.

Petty artworks sold by a very nice and patient old Polish lady. You can find unique jewelries designed by local artists with reasonable prices.

When my boyfriend and I get married, we will definitely come back to this beautiful town and pay a visit to you, grandma ☺️

I was just checking the website for new ideas but I must leave a review of a previous purchase. We bought two oil candles. Hand blown crystal, complete with brass wick holder adjusted for perfect flame size. These lamps are beautiful! They are much better than smoky wax candles. They use paraffin based lamp oil which is odourless and smokeless. They are easy to use and refill and are such a lovely addition to our home. We received outstanding service from the proprietor/owners as well. Thank you.

Very reasonably priced and owner explained the process of producing affordable gold jewelry. Came in for a whale tail pendant and was not disappointed! Will come back next time I am here for another treat for myself.

When Rubio's first opened in Ucluelet many years ago, my daughter and I purchased many items and had a good experience. On visiting a couple of years later, we decided that this would be our last visit, due to no acknowledgement from staff. We just happened on the store again this past week, and were more than pleasantly surprised. It was an absolute delight to be greeted by a beautiful smile and twinkling eyes. An older Polish woman with a huge zest for life greeted us. She had an interest in selling, knew her stones, and was not afraid of conversation. What a great treasure she is to the owner of this store! We thoroughly enjoyed our time in her presence and will definitely be back to visit her again.

The owners of this shop are well versed in the materials used (and what it means to the local native people), and the husband & son contribute to the gorgeous selection with their own jewelry craftsmanship. The pieces are well priced and unique. The owners are authentic & friendly.
There’s a review below criticising the shop on not having 100% owner-handmade pieces, and a different name on the credit card bill - get a life (and education). Most jewelry shops are curated and seldom only comprised of one designer and a different registered company name than the shop name (and who gives a fig anyway)? The review is sour and downright nasty and based off of narrow minded and perhaps envious blether. We’re very pleased with our purchases, high quality, unique and sooo well priced!
