About Us

\n

Kwiat | Fred Leighton brings together two of New York’s most storied names in fine jewelry.

\n

\n

Kwiat was founded in 1907 and remains family-owned, now in its fourth generation. For more than a century, Kwiat has been known for exceptional diamonds, meticulous craftsmanship, and timeless design.

\n

Fred Leighton is one of the world’s most celebrated sources of antique and vintage jewelry. What began in Greenwich Village grew into a Madison Avenue destination that helped bring estate jewelry into modern fashion. The collection spans signed period pieces from the Georgian and Victorian eras through Art Deco and the 20th century.

\n

\n

Since 2009, the Kwiat family has carried Fred Leighton’s legacy forward. Together, the two houses offer clients something rare: the finest modern diamond jewelry alongside one-of-a-kind jewels with history, provenance, and soul.
