William Goldberg (March 19, 1925 - October 20, 2003) is an American diamond merchant and founder of Diamond Company William Goldberg.
Goldberg was born in Brooklyn, New York City. He started cutting diamonds in 1948, but found that his intelligence lay in buying and selling diamonds rather than cutting them. In 1952 he founded Goldberg & amp; Weiss with diamond cutter Irving Weiss. In 1973 he formed the William Goldberg Diamond Corporation, located on 48th Street in the New York City Diamond District. In 1978 he became president of the New York Diamond Dealers Club and served three terms. He trades famous diamonds including the Dutch Queen diamond, Premier Rose diamonds, Red Shield diamonds and Pumpkin diamonds.
He died of pancreatic cancer, 77 years old. After his death, members of the Goldberg family created the William Goldberg Endowed Scholarship Fund at the Gemological Institute of America.
