About Catbird

In our 20 years in business, Catbird has become an icon, the ultimate destination in New York City for gifts and jewelry. Located in Soho and Williamsburg, Catbird is a mecca for an international cast of shoppers who come to visit the brick and mortar stores of their beloved website.

The Catbird line is made in our Brooklyn studio, using ethically sourced materials and conflict-free stones. Highly trained Catbird jewelers oversee every step of the process. We are dedicated to a return to local manufacturing – what our neighborhood was famous for. Catbird is a proud member of the CFDA, certified Made in New York, and No Dirty Gold.
