FREDERICK GOLDMAN SELECTS WALDMAN DIAMOND CANADA FOR ITS CANADIAN JEWELRY DISTRIBUTION

NEW YORK, December 7, 2009---Frederick Goldman, Inc., one of the largest fine jewelry manufacturing companies in North America, has announced a distribution agreement with Waldman Diamond Canada LTD, an independent sales firm located in Vancouver, B.C. The Canadian company will represent the Goldman brands ArtCarved , Diana, and Triton.

“We are delighted to work with Waldman Diamond Canada, who will extend our representation and reach into western Canada,” said its CEO Jonathan Goldman. “Their in-depth experience and understanding of our industry and the support they will bring to our Canadian retailers will be a great benefit. We look forward to working with Craig de Gruchy (President, Waldman Diamond Canada), Neil Matkin (Vice President, Waldman Diamond Canada) and their team,” said Mr. Goldman.

Waldman Diamond Canada, established in 2005, is a division of Waldman Diamond Company, a Rio Tinto Select Diamantaire, which has created a vertically integrated organization encompassing all aspects of the diamond industry, from mining through cutting, polishing, marketing, and retail distribution.

Frederick Goldman was founded in New York in the late 1940’s as a one-man operation specializing in plain wedding bands. The company, now run by Chairman & CEO Jonathan Goldman and Richard Goldman, President, has grown into a global organization, offering retailers a large selection of branded and non-branded jewelry products across five separate divisions.

Among Goldman’s brand portfolio is the legendary ArtCarved, the largest and oldest nationally advertized producer of wedding rings. It was founded in the late 19th century by J.R. Wood, considered the “father of modern bridal jewelry.” In 1942, as thousands of young men were being recruited for wartime duty, Mr. Wood successfully pioneered the concept of the dual-ring ceremony, so that both bride and groom would have a constant reminder of their commitment to each other.

Waldman Diamond Company is a leader in the worldwide diamond industry with interests ranging from mining to complete jewelry. We are the bridge between the mining community with the retailer.
