Goldberg served three terms as the Diamond Dealers Club president. He was known for cutting a gem to the fraction of its original size to make sure every stone lived up to its full potential and would dazzle all those that laid eyes on its enchanting beauty. Goldberg believed that each stone had its own unique beauty and he carved until he found the luster inside the stone. Goldberg is responsible for some of the most precious, expensive and rare stones in the world.

The Blue Lili is a 30 carat trapezoid blue diamond. Goldberg named the diamond after his dear wife Lili. It is said that as he carved the stone, its powerful character and exquisite color reminded him of his wife.

The Briolette is a 75 carat diamond that was delivered to Goldberg at 160.5 carats. Once the diamond was carved and shaped to perfection allowing light to reflect from every angle of the piece it was certified by the GIA as being the largest Briolette shaped diamond graded at that period in time. The certification reflects his passion for perfecting every stone he touches as if he understands the stones from the inside out.

William Goldberg’s touch and love will forever remain in every gem he ever handled.
