RAPAPORT... Richline Group, a jewelry subsidiary owned by Warren
Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, continued its recent string of acquisitions with
the purchase of Viawear, a provider of wearable technology for jewelry brands.
Viawear has developed bracelets that filter mobile
notifications so wearers receive important alerts without having to check if
they missed something.
“The world has embraced wearables, and we intend to provide
our customers with the right jewelry products that blend seamlessly with the
latest technology,” said Joel Schechter of Richline.
The deal comes after Richline acquired
jewelry website Gemvara in April and took
over precious-metals company John C. Nordt from June 1.
