(PRESS RELEASE) SECAUCUS, NJ — Frederick Goldman, Inc. (FGI), a leading wedding, bridal, and fashion jewelry manufacturer is celebrating its 75th anniversary—a testament to over seven decades of innovation and excellence. Beginning as a one-man shop in New York City, the company has grown into one of the largest branded- and private-label jewelry design, manufacturing, and distribution companies in North America, employing over 700 people worldwide and selling over one million units annually.
Founded by Frederick Goldman in 1948, FGI has built a tradition of uncompromising dedication to quality by embracing the pioneering spirit of its founder. Sons Jonathan and Richard Goldman uphold that spirit today, delivering relevant and reliable solutions to a network of leading jewelers and many generations of customers. “For 75 years, we have built and maintained strong relationships with our customers. Throughout it all, we’ve upheld our father’s commitment to delivering beautiful fine-jewelry and personalized care. Everything we do is rooted in a bedrock of trust and reliability that leads jewelers to move confidently with us into the future,” said Jonathan Goldman, CEO of Frederick Goldman, Inc. “Our tradition of excellence is personified in the incredible talent and dedication of our people, who are the cornerstone of our company.”
As a leader in the industry, FGI is consistently evolving by rolling out cutting-edge innovations and services for their portfolio of partners, including:
- One-stop customization: FGI introduced TruCustom™ last year, a streamlined, full-service, and in-house customization program that allows retailers to provide their clients with the engagement ring, stackable ring, or anniversary band of their dreams. Whether finessing a design, making minor adaptations, or designing a unique, one-of-a-kind ring, the customization possibilities are endless and effortless.
- North American technology centers: From design to distribution, most jewelry styles manufactured by FGI are produced in the company’s in-house North American facilities. This vertical integration creates a synergy of seamless communication, tighter quality control, and industry-leading delivery times while reducing supply chain issues—the kind of service only an industry leader can provide.
- World-class team of trend forecasters and designers: FGI is an industry leader across multiple product categories and distribution channels with unrivaled insight into emerging jewelry trends. In turn, FGI merchants are quick to market with award-winning and on-trend products and our OEM Division has evolved into a valued design and manufacturing partner for some of the fastest growing brands in the jewelry industry.
- Responsible practices: FGI has been a proud member of the Responsible Jewelry Council since 2013 and is committed to providing the industry with products manufactured in an environmentally and socially responsible manner.
“Since the company’s inception, we have evolved from a precious men’s band business to one of the largest jewelry companies in the industry. We’re proud to have built a strong, financially stable foundation that allows us to be the vendor of choice for our partners, today and for the next 75 years,” said Richard Goldman, president of Frederick Goldman, Inc.
