Changes at Borsheims

Monday, April 11th, 2011

What’s going on behind the walls?

There are a few surprises awaiting Berkshire Hathaway shareholders when they arrive for this year’s Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders’ weekend… and they’re currently in the works behind these makeshift construction walls.

There are two areas under construction. The photo on the left is in the watch area of the sales floor. This will be a Cartier shop-in-shop. A large Cartier backdrop and new showcases with red carpeting will set the Cartier shop apart from the rest of the sales floor. Borsheims is the only place in the area you can shop for Cartier products and we’re thrilled to have this shop-in-shop concept coming to Borsheims.

The photo on the right is of the new Pandora shop-in-shop. Pandora is a new line to Borsheims, and specializes in delivering genuine, high quality jewelry and accessories at affordable prices. You may know them best for their line of charms.

Both shop-in-shops are scheduled to be completed in time for the Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders’ weekend. In fact, we’re hoping to get them done by early next week!

Look for photos of the finished product here, then come check them out in person and get some great deals with your Berkshire Hathaway shareholder credentials!

What to Watch For: Jewelry

Tuesday, April 5th, 2011

Several new jewelry lines will be available at Borsheims during the 2011 Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders’ weekend. Here’s a sneak peek at a few of the goodies:

Miriam Salat is all over the fashion world. Her pieces have been worn by Oprah, First Lady Michelle Obama, Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Hudson, Sandra Bullock and Sofia Vergara. With cuffs, bangles, earrings, rings and necklaces, Miriam Salat takes resin, sterling silver and 18k gold and transforms them into gorgeous statement pieces.

Soho jewelry uses its own unique array of multi-dimensional enamel to craft these gorgeous rings and earrings. Their website says it best – calling themselves a great mix of “bold yet comfortable dimensions that juxtapose the industrial, natural and artistic kingdoms.”

Charles Garnier, a longtime leader in the design of 18k gold earrings has something new for Berkshire Hathaway shareholders: sterling silver pendants and bangles, all plated in silver, yellow and rose gold! I’m sure more than a few shareholders won’t be able to resist using their shareholder discount and taking a few of these pieces home!


Have your Berkshire Hathaway credentials yet?

Tuesday, March 29th, 2011

Did you get your credentials in the mail yet? I haven’t seen any, but talked with a couple this weekend who said they received theirs just a few days ago. And just having the credentials in hand made them so excited that they spent the weekend “pre-shopping” at Borsheims and Nebraska Furniture Mart, picking out what all they’ll buy during the Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders weekend.

How fun!

If you don’t have your credentials yet, don’t worry! Here’s the scoop from Berkshire Hathaway headquarters:
  • - The 2010 Annual Reports were mailed to shareholders of record and beneficial-but-not-of-record shareholders in mid-March.
  • - Included in the mailing was a Proxy Statement
  • - A perforated postcard was attached to the Proxy
  • - Fill out and return the postcard to order your meeting credentials
  • - Shareholders are entitled to a maximum of 4 meeting credentials
  • - The credentials are required for the meeting and other weekend events, as well as to receive special shareholder pricing during the discount period.
So make sure you get those postcards in! We want to see you during the Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders weekend and during the shopping period. Remember, the discount at Borsheims runs from Monday, April 25, to Saturday, May 7. The discount at Nebraska Furniture Mart runs from Tuesday, April 26, to Monday, May 2.

Happy pre-shopping!
