A new line we’re carrying at Borsheims since last year is Ivanka Trump’s jewelry line. It’s a pretty exclusive line and known for the style and elegance of Ivanka Trump herself. The designs take inspiration from the poise and glamour of fashion’s most celebrated eras.Ivanka Trump jewelryWe also are in love with Alex Woo’s jewelry. And we’re not the only ones! Alex Woo is a favorite designer of stars like Jessica Simpson and Eva Longoria. Woo grew up with an appreciation of jewelry thanks to her father, a master bench jeweler. She is known for her Little Icons Collections that are available in silver, gold or diamonds. They come in letters, numbers, symbols and just about everything you can imagine.Alex Woo jewelry

And huge news! Alex Woo – herself – will be here during Berkshire Hathaway weekend. You can stop by and talk with her. And since she’s known for coming up with jewelry ideas from her travels, perhaps an Omaha or Berkshire Hathaway icon will be on the way next!?!

New Berkshire Hathaway Memorabilia

Wednesday, April 25th, 2012

Berkshire Hathaway shareholders love to sport their Berkshire Hathaway love. At Borsheims, we’re happy to help them!

We’ve adorned them in t-shirts, hats and bags proudly sporting the Berkshire Hathaway name. This year, we have a few new ways to show your BRK pride.

iPad cover with BRK logoIt seems like everyone has an iPad, doesn’t it!?! But does everyone have a BRK iPad cover? I don’t think so! We’re selling them for $99 and only have a limited supply, so you may need to pick yours up early!

 

Berkshire Hathaway headquarters has a theme for each annual meeting. This year’s theme is Stars and Stripes. We interpreted that in a patriotic way with our memorabilia. We have a flag pen, our latest Berkshire edition of the Christopher Radko ornament, and a very patriotic looking Warren and Charlie money clip!

Berkshire Hathaway Shareholder Could Make History

Monday, April 23rd, 2012

At Borsheims, we always bring in exceptional jewelry, watches and gifts to showcase for our Berkshire Hathaway shareholders during the annual meeting. This year, we’re offering one customer the chance to make history!

Borsheims is presenting a 35,80 carat rough diamond for sale.35 carat rough diamond offered for sale to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders

But the offer doesn’t stop there. The customer who purchases the diamond will journey to Ontario, Canada to work with a master diamantaire to determine the final polished shape of the diamond. That will make this the largest diamond ever mined, cut and polished in Canada.

The diamond originates from the Victor Mine, which is operated by De Beers Canada. The mine is located on the James Bay Coast of Northern Ontario and it produces some of the world’s rarest diamonds.

The customer who purchases the diamond will journey to Sudbury, Ontario, and get a look into the diamond pipeline that is very rarely seen. Once they select the shape for the stone to be cut, the diamond will be cut and polished, then sent via armored car to the Forevermark Diamond Institute in Belgium to be graded and inscribed with the Forevermark logo and a unique identification number. The customer can continue to customize their diamond by having a special message inscribed on the girdle and by choosing a unique faceting pattern to be added to the culet of their diamond.

What an experience!

The price? It’s $2 million retail, but you know we’ll give a much better Borsheims price, plus a Berkshire Hathaway shareholder discount!

Come check it out in the store during Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders weekend and chat with one of our great sales team if you’re interested in making history!

When Warren Buffett sold jewelry at Borsheims last year during the Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders weekend, several of the customers were celebrating special occasions.

There was one couple celebrating their 50th anniversary; another their 30th anniversary. One man was celebrating with a self-purchase – a watch to commemorate his graduation.

Read several of the stories in our recap from last year here.

We want to know… are you celebrating a special occasion this year? Do you plan to purchase something during the Berkshire Hathaway shareholders weekend to commemorate it? Do you hope to make that purchase from Mr. Buffett?

People in Omaha are getting really excited for Buffett this weekend

Not the Buffett we know and love (that of the Warren variety). Jimmy Buffett will play a packed show at the CenturyLink Center in Omaha Saturday… just a few weeks before the Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders meeting takes place in the same location.

And today, the Omaha World Herald’s editorial cartoonist had some fun with it. We at Borsheims particularly love our Karat heads!
