NEW YORK, NY – Jewelry maker Frederick Goldman Inc. announced that it has acquired selected assets of Joyeros Costarricenses, a Costa Rica-based bridal jewelry company.

Joyeros Costarricenses has manufactured and distributed precious and contemporary bridal products in North America for more than 25 years. “They have been servicing many of our clients and we will maintain this same level of service, now to a much broader range of customers,” says Jonathan Goldman, chairman and CEO of Frederick Goldman. “This acquisition is aligned perfectly with our long-term strategy of further building upon our strong position in the wedding and bridal marketplace.”

Through the acquisition, Frederick Goldman aims to increase operational efficiency and expand its product portfolio. “This new addition gives us the ability and technology to manufacture more products and offer a more diverse assortment to our customers than we have previously,” added Goldman.

Frederick Goldman plans to continue seeking similar opportunities to increase its market share and expand into adjacent product categories.

Operations of Joyeros Costarricenses will relocate to Frederick Goldman’s facilities in Merida, Mexico and New York City.

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
