Back in 1907, when Greg's great-grandfather Sam Kwiat founded the company, he opened a store on Canal Street that specialized in selling vintage diamonds.In fact, the history and evolution of the Kwiat brand mirrors the progress of the fine-jewelry business in the U.S. in many ways.

Sam Kwiat's son David eventually took over, building the family business into a manufacturer and vendor of high-quality diamonds for New York City's jewelry market’and in doing so, helping to found the 47th Street diamond district in the 1950s. David also began making diamond jewelry for retailers, and in 1955 he put out a jewelry catalog, one of the first, to reach smaller markets around the country. "Private label really was our business," explains Greg. "We cut something like 50 pear-shaped diamonds for Harry Winston."Kwiat believe that every woman can wear the diamonds of her dreams.
