Berkshire Hathaway’s 50th marked with exclusives
To celebrate the golden anniversary of Berkshire Hathaway, Richline Group created a special collection of jewelry and other items that were available only at the company’s shareholders meeting.

New York--To celebrate the golden anniversary of Berkshire Hathaway, Richline Group created a special collection of jewelry and other items that were available only at the company’s shareholders meeting this past weekend.
They included a commemorative coin from the LeachGarner Division and a set of Berkshire Hathaway-themed bangles from the recently acquired Chrysalis brand.
Because of its increased focus on smart jewelry and watches, and to have a little fun, the company also collaborated with its distribution partner Omate on a smartwatch that features an image of Warren Buffett with his arms outstretched as the hour and minute hands of the watch.
Richline also partnered with the Cross Pen Company to create an engraved, 14-karat gold-filled commemorative pen made especially for the event.
The exclusive products were available only at the 2015 Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders meetings, which were held Friday and Saturday in Omaha, Neb.
For the past four years, the company’s shareholders’ weekend included Buffett stepping behind the counter at Borsheims to sell jewelry to shareholders of his company, though the famed investor did not take on the role of jewelry salesman this year.
