Chrome Hearts is an American luxury brand, founded in 1988 by Hollywood carpentry craftsman Richard Stark (born 19 May 1960 in Utica, New York), that specializes in high-end .925 silver, 22k yellow gold and 18k white gold jewelry, leather, cashmere clothing and ebony wood furniture with gothic and punk rock motifs. It is known for its jewelry items which feature fleur-de-lys, dagger and floral cross designs. The boutiques sell luxury watches with one-of-a-kind Chrome Hearts bracelet in place of the stock band or strap. They offer sunglasses and clothing with their signature designs. Most of the Chrome Hearts products are handmade in Hollywood, USA.
Originally, Chrome Hearts was only available exclusively by custom order. Years later, the first boutique was opened at 159 East 64th Street, New York in 1996. Since then, it has opened several boutiques in Los Angeles, Malibu, Las Vegas and Honolulu. Currently, there are international boutiques in Japan, Hong Kong, Paris, London, Taipei, Seoul and Beijing.
