In the brand’s early formation, he is described as the master sterling-silver jeweller, with a strong focus on sterling silver craftsmanship that became central to the Chrome Hearts identity. Chrome Hearts began as a response to a very specific subculture need—gear and accessories for riders and outsiders—and then rapidly evolved into a cult luxury label. Accounts of the brand’s early era emphasize how the customer base included local bikers and rock musicians, and how the brand’s uncompromising, handcrafted silver jewelry became its backbone and cultural signature. In 1994, Chrome Hearts’ founding partnership changed; sources commonly note that Kamhout (and Bowman) withdrew from the company after a falling-out. From “Leonard Kamhout” to LONE ONES After leaving Chrome Hearts, Kamhout is widely associated with founding his own line in 1996, together with Devon Wheeler. In the market and in brand histories, this period is often described as the “Leonard Kamhout” era, with the brand later renamed LONE ONES (commonly noted as a name change around 2000). This matters because collectors often treat “Leonard Kamhout” hallmarks as highly desirable, especially on substantial, older, or signature-design pieces—partly because they connect directly to the designer’s identity and to a foundational chapter of modern American sterling-silver luxury. Kamhout’s influence is less about mainstream “red carpet” jewelry and more about shaping a world where craft, weight, and detail communicate status. The design language he helped establish—bold, heavy, sculptural sterling pieces—became synonymous with a certain kind of luxury: one that draws from rock, biker, and gothic-adjacent aesthetics while still commanding premium prices and collector demand. Chrome Hearts is frequently cited as having rewritten rules of luxury streetwear by staying craft-driven, exclusive, and culturally embedded—an environment Kamhout helped build from the start.
