New York, NY-- Kwiat introduces the Fred Leighton Round® Diamond Collection, the company's newest cut inspired by the antique old European cut diamond. Set in engagement rings and fashion jewelry designed specifically to amplify their brilliance, this proprietary diamond cut merges the character and beauty of antique diamonds with the precision of modern diamond cutting. The ultimate blend of "something old and something new" allows customers to own a creation of both iconic brands for the first time in their combined 160-year history.

These styles are available exclusively through Kwiat and Fred Leighton retailers.

"For more than a century, our family has been an authority in diamond cutting, and we’ve experienced how advances in cutting technology over the years have allowed us to fashion diamonds that sparkle more brilliantly," said Greg Kwiat, CEO Kwiat and Fred Leighton. "As leaders in vintage jewels, we also understand that high-quality antique diamonds have a very special appeal but are increasingly difficult to find. In creating the Fred Leighton Round® diamond, we are the first to use rigorous modern standards to cut antique-inspired diamonds, resulting in a cut with the luster and inner light of an old European cut, but the elevated brilliance of a modern stone."

The new Fred Leighton Round® Diamond Collection will be available to all retailers who carry either Kwiat or Fred Leighton, according to Kwiat COO Russell Kwiat, who led the development of the new diamond cutting technology.
