Gem Gossip hit up the west coast and was graciously invited to check out the jewelry design studio of HOORSENBUHS, located just outside of Los Angeles. Greeted by Designer & Owner, Robert Keith and Brand Liaison, Kether Parker, we walked into the 1940s Quonset Hut, where HOORSENBUHS calls home. One would never expect this hut to be a jewelry designer’s stomping grounds, yet it serves as a great decoy for the looming paparazzi when some of their celeb clientele stop by; people such as Paris Hilton, Rosario Dawson, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Dave Navarro, amongst others.

Jeweler’s Work Bench, Where all the magic happensGem Gossip had an inside look into how this high-end jewelry company is doing things differently and easily succeeding, while catching everyone’s attention. We also got a feel for how each customer gets their very own personalized jewelry buying experience when walking through these doors.
A “customer” is the wrong word to describe someone who purchases a piece from HOORSENBUHS. The experience of buying is so hands-on, you get “play around” with the jewelry, and choose what metal you prefer, what diamonds you want. Designer Robert Keith and Brand Liaison Kether Parker are passionate about what they do and want you to feel the same way. You basically walk into a whole new dimension of jewelry design with a whole new level of personalization.
me falling in love with their ringsAt HOORSENBUHS, this is where you take control, and Robert & Kether are there to guide you and make the experience fun! Make an appointment, stop in, hit up the punching bag, play a diddy on the guitar or bang on their drum set, all while customizing any of their classic Tri-Link motif jewelry pieces. Now, that’s much better than talking to a stuffy sales associate at any jewelry store, right?
the leather wrap-around bracelet makes a great headbandAnd there’s so many goodies to choose from. Want to shine like Rihanna? Then pick the Phantom ring...Rihanna has two! Or go for a classic and get the Quad Link…Snoop Dogg never takes his off, I don’t think you will either! My favorite? The Phantom ring, customized in 18k yellow gold with black diamonds! A ring this fierce can change the way you look, entirely. The fast-selling, leather wrap-around bracelet is killer and made to fit.

I love their bling and Rob and Kether make you feel right at home. I bought a few pieces that always get questions like, “oh, can I see your ring?” and “where did you get that bracelet?”. Hoorsenbuhs is orginal, stylish and makes you feel like a million $’s!

I love their jewelry and the quonset hut! they both show so much much character. How do you set up an appointment with them??

Hoorsenbuhs is AMAZING!! Classic, modern and beautifully crafted. I don’t know what Belle De Ville is talking about??? I took a quick peep at her store and not only was the site horrible but the inventory was tacky…a bunch of David Yurman and old estate garbage that looks beat…good luck with that. I see why people like Rihanna, The Olsen twins and Kate Beckinsale (women who can afford anything and have the best stylist’s in the world) love HB!! Good work boys..p.s. and you’re both cuties!!xx

I love their jewellery but I recently read this post by Carol Woolton, the jewellery editor of British Vogue and the leading international authority on jewellery who commented that the duo had recently started to incorporate Forevermark diamonds into their studs etc. This made me love their jewellery even more.
You should check out Carol Woolton's blog, she really knows what she's talking about!

It’s a film called Hungry for You and it’s in pre-production now. I play the lead vampire. I didn’t want to be a vampire but was forced into it so I’m struggling with my vampire powers and not wanting to turn the girl I love into a vampire. The script is really great and has a wonderful storyline. It’s been fun. The creator, Linda Andersson, has a really cool comic strip of Hungry for You that she is going to release soon. It’s sort of a teaser and a way to start the marketing for the project in a bigger level.
