Borsheims (/ˈbɔːrʃaɪmz/ BOR-shymze) is a luxury jewelry store that sells fine jewelry, timepieces, engagement rings and home décor in Omaha, Nebraska. In 1870, Norwegian immigrant and silversmith Louis Borsheims founded his independent jewelry business that would later become known as Borsheims. The luxury jewelry retailer began as Brown and Borsheim. In 1907, Louis A. Borsheim sold his interests in Brown and Borsheim, thus began the Omaha staple, Borsheims. The business was sold to Louis Friedman and his son Ike in 1955, who both retained the Borsheims name.
In 1986, Borsheims moved to the Regency Court Mall. In 1989, investor Warren Buffett purchased a majority of Borsheims stock, making it part of his holding company, Berkshire Hathaway.
Borsheims is led by Karen Goracke, who became Borsheims president and CEO in 2013.[1] The store maintains an inventory that includes more than 50,000 pieces of jewelry and watches.[2]
It has been the location of Berkshire shareholder-only events held in association with its annual general meeting.[3]
