New York--Jewelry manufacturer Frederick Goldman Inc. has named retail sales associate Lindsay Soquent as the grand prize winner of its “ArtCarved in Rome” incentive program.
She has been awarded a seven-day, six-night trip for two to Rome this spring.
Soquent has been selling ArtCarved rings at Crescent Jewelers in Lacrosse, Wis. for two years, according to Frederick Goldman.
“I truly enjoy selling ArtCarved bridal rings to my customers,” she said. “I take pride in the fact that I can always find beautifully mounted, quality ring styles to suit all customer tastes.”
Retail sales associates at ArtCarved authorized dealers across the country were automatically entered into the contest when they sold and activated the warranty on a ring from the ArtCarved Bridal Collection.
For each warranty that was activated during the three-month entry period, the sales associate would receive one entry in the prize drawing. The grand prize winner was selected via a random drawing.
ArtCarved Bridal, a division of New York-based Frederick Goldman Inc., offers a variety of designs available in platinum, 18-karat and 14-karat white and yellow gold. Frederick Goldman’s other leading brands include Keepsake, Goldman, Diana and Triton.
