How does a single store in Omaha, Nebraska, become one of the largest jewelry stores in the nation? By never forgetting our history.It began 150 years ago, when Louis Borsheim had a vision to help others celebrate special occasions with fine jewelry, watches and gifts. In 1947, Louis Friedman bought the business and operated it with his son Ike. While Louis and Ike Friedman kept the Borsheims name, they ushered in a new era of success for the jewelry store. Ike, a dynamic businessman, developed the business philosophy that still guides our company today: offer an extensive inventory and exceptional customer service at the most competitive prices.It was an approach that worked, leading Borsheims to outgrow our downtown facility and move to the anchor position in Regency Court mall in 1986. In 1989, renowned investor Warren Buffett purchased a majority stake of Borsheims, making it part of his famous holding company, Berkshire Hathaway.Borsheims continues to grow today under the leadership of President and CEO Karen Goracke. Our​ location in Omaha's Regency district is more than 62,500 square feet and includes private viewing spaces, large watch department, gift gallery, full-service jewelry repair and design shop, and an expansive jewelry showroom that is unlike any other in the country.Mission Statement: We are privileged to share in the special moments of our customers'​ lives.
