威廉·戈德堡出生在布隆克斯區的蒂芙尼(Tiffany)大街上。人們可能會認為這是巧合,但這也許正是他這一生與鑽石結緣並開創了偉大事業的預兆。
在他那卓越的天賦與本能的指引下,威廉·戈德堡開創了這一為人們日常生活帶來快樂的事業。今天,提到Goldberg之名,人們就會想到精美的鑽石珠寶。
他這傳奇的一生可用六個字來概括:The Magic is in the Make.™ 對於戈德堡而言,切割,即「Make」,是一顆鑽石最重要的品質。這已成為他的熱情之源和畢生理念。
威廉·戈德堡認為,最重要的是要讓鑽石煥發出最美的光輝,哪怕這意味著在切割過程中犧牲鑽石的克拉重量。他相信,只有透過優秀的切割,才能釋放鑽石真正的美麗。切割造就了每一顆鑽石與眾不同的美麗。這是一個真正遠見卓識的人留下的遺贈。

FOUNDER OF GRAFF DIAMONDS
In 1973, when a burgeoning diamantaire named William Goldberg established William Goldberg Diamond Corporation, he didn’t yet know that his promising business would one day change an entire industry. Or perhaps he did.
Known as Bill to many, Willy to others, he was an unforgettable character, recognized for his imposing stature, long white hair, and thunderous voice. Though William Goldberg, the business, could never have existed without Bill Goldberg, the man, the reverse could just as easily be argued: One simply could not exist without the other. That’s because the story most often told of Bill Goldberg is his passion for diamonds. “He saw a diamond as a work of art.” “He believed it was wrong to cheat a diamond of its beauty.” “In his hands, a stone became extraordinary.”
Today, when a pair of 10-carat ASHOKA diamonds comes out of the workshop, the family works together to discuss what they want to make. A pair of earrings? Two exceptional single-stone rings? The centerpiece of a necklace? Their enthusiasm for finding the right stones for the right design—and ultimately the right client—is reminiscent of Bill’s joy in matching the diamond to the buyer. It never gets old.
如今,威廉的妻子莉莉、兒子掃羅、女兒伊娃、女婿巴里·伯格和孫子本傑明·戈德堡執掌了他們的家族產業。
William Goldberg成立於半個多世紀以前,現已成為全世界最著名的鑽石珠寶店之一,並為世人獻上了一些前所未聞的稀有鑽石。
William Goldberg系列產品所表現出的動人美麗和無與倫比的卓越品質定義了何為奢華,何為優雅。今天,由能工巧匠們精心雕琢的珠寶作品以其奪目的光輝和經典的設計驚豔世人。珠寶藝術作品才能真正體現我們非凡鑽石的力量與美麗。
