Goldberg’s work in diamonds began in 1948 as a diamond cutter, however he quickly moved on to the more lucrative business of selecting and purchasing the rough diamonds that his company would turn into some of the most sought after stones in the world. Four years after cutting his first diamond Goldberg teamed with diamond cutter Irving Weiss to form his first full service diamond company. With Goldberg as the buyer and Weiss as the cutter, Goldberg embarked on what turned out to be a remarkable journey.
In 1973 he opened the William Goldberg Diamond Company, which would soon become world renowned for the precious gems it created. By 1978 Goldberg was such a respected diamond trader that he was named president of the New York Diamond Dealers Club where he served three terms.
