President, Mercury Ring Corporation

When Phyllis Bergman married the president of the 64 year-old family-owned-and operated Mercury Ring Corporation, she had no idea that she would be running the business one day. But since she took over the reins in 1986, Bergman hasn’t looked back.

As the president of Mercury Ring Corporation, Phyllis Bergman oversees all aspects of the company, including sales, design, operations, marketing, and client relations. Under her leadership, the company’s customer base has increased more than six-fold. Today, Mercury is one of the oldest and most established bridal jewelry manufacturers in the United States, with more than 1,800 accounts nationwide.

2007 was a big year for Phyllis. In February, she was named Entrepreneur of the year by Enterprising Women Magazine and in November, Mercury Ring became the WBENC (Women’s Business Enterprise National Council).

Phyllis Bergman currently serves as a member of the Board of Directors of the Jewelers Board of Trade, the American Gem Society, the Women’s Jewelry Organization, the 24 Karat Club of New York and the Jewelers Vigilance Committee. She is also a member of the Woman’s Presidents Organization.

In addition to designing her own jewelry line and managing Mercury Ring Corporation, Bergman is a dynamic force in the jewelry industry and as a woman in business. She is former president of the Women’s Jewelry Association and of the 24 Karat Club of New York. She served on the Board of Directors of the prestigious Plumb Club, Manufacturing Jewelers and Suppliers of America, American ORT Federation, and the Central Park Conservancy. Berman is also a lifetime member of Brandeis University, a recipient of the Women’s Jewelry Association Manufacturer of the Year Award, Women’s Jewelry Association Hall of Fame inductee. A mother of three, she credits her husband, Ira, and her children for the growing success of Mercury Ring.
