So what exactly did Warren Buffett sell at Borsheims?

May 1, 2011
Warren Buffett and Borsheims President & CEO Susan Jacques look over pricing for a piece of jewelry.
We never release sales figures here at Borsheims, but we can tell you a few stories about what Warren Buffett sold here during the Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders’ weekend.

The husbands of a few very lucky women purchased rings for them. One couple was celebrating their 50th anniversary. The other couple was celebrating their 30th anniversary.

Another couple had lost their wedding ring in a hotel on vacation. They told Mr. Buffett their story and he related a story that his late wife, Susan Buffett, had lost a ring in a similar situation many years ago.

A young man who just graduated from college purchased a watch for himself as a graduation gift. Imagine the story he’ll have when he tells people his salesman was Warren Buffett!

And our favorite story, a woman who purchased jewelry here at Borsheims both Friday night and Saturday came back for more when she heard Mr. Buffett was selling. She bought a beautiful Ashoka diamond ring from him. Who says you can’t shop at Borsheims three days in a row? And when you’re getting the Berkshire Hathaway shareholder discount, you’d better take advantage of it!
