What to know about Catbird
Fine jewelry at stacking prices
Pieces are solid 14-karat gold but start around $54 for a thin stacking ring, so the entry point sits well below most fine jewelry counters.
Built for layering and permanence
The core is delicate and cumulative — thin rings, knuckle rings, charms, customizable chains and the Forever Bracelet, which is welded closed rather than clasped.
Over half made in New York
More than half of production happens in New York City, using recycled gold with conflict-free and lab-grown stones; the brand sells direct rather than through department stores.

Catbird is a Brooklyn fine jewelry label founded by Rony Vardi in 2004, starting as a small Williamsburg shop.

Over half of production happens in New York City. Private equity firm Victor Capital Partners invested in 2022; the brand stays direct-to-consumer and has expanded to Los Angeles, Boston and Chicago stores.
