About Us

 Andrew Akim Litwin’s extended family has been in the jewelry business since at least the late eighteen hundreds.  His great grandfather Akim Litwin made jewelry for the Russian czar and nobility.

Ever since, his extended family has been in the jewelry business.  They began Litwin Jewelers as immigrants to America in 1911.  The company thrived and Andy can remember, as a young child, watching with fascination the jewelers working at their benches making the timeless, classic designs that would become a hallmark feature of the Litwin company and style.

While Andy pursued a career in medicine–he has an MD and MPH degree, he has returned to his family roots to become a jewelry designer.  The creative inspirations for his jewelry first came to him while studying the infinite meanings of Hebrew letters.  There is nothing haphazard or arbitrary about his designs. They all are based on some underlying Jewish teaching.  

Andy pairs each of the enduring styles in his jewelry collection with thought-provoking information about the ancient teachings, in some cases thousands of years old, which inspire his work.

Update 11/10/24:

As can be seen on the Pedigree page, a "time stamp" of sorts; for the establishment of  Litwin Diamond Cutters could be 1918.

While there are two or three Judaica pieces of jewelry that A. Litwin is planning for in 2025, simultaneously, with this effort, A. Litwin will start offering a wider range of styles of jewelry.

However, even so, there hopefully will be at least two more additional pieces of  Judaica pieces of jewelry besides those just mentioned.

One will be a jewelry piece of the breast plate that Aaron wore in the temple and the other will be 32 paths according to either or maybe both the Ari and Gra. But these will all require an enormous amount of planning and study. As in, perhaps years.

Establishing the facts as to what the breast plate constituted [was made of etc.] and how it was constructed is one matter. A colossal undertaking.

Likewise, one can do a search and find many representations of the 32 paths [perhaps start a search with Kabbalah / tree of life and such or better, search for authentic diagrammatic representations. 

The key words of distinction are "diagrammatic representation"  versus "design of". The authentic diagrams, are true diagrammatic representations, but ask oneself: Do these diagrams tell one anything really about "what is going on?" Right- join "the club". Just maybe, just maybe, by simply being given the privilege of exploring this infinity [ies]. [Someone I trust to / who does knows his math stuff indicates that one can mathematically prove that there are infinities of infinity.] may result in a spark of it all. A significant advantage is that computer three denominational drawing / rendering capabilities give one a chance of depicting matters in 3D.

In this, so as to be crystal clear, absolutely, positively, without question what is  not meant is a "New Age" type image that is authentic only to the extent it is the product of someone's mind. Irrespective, and no matter what the outcome, the exploration will be a wonderment. And just, just, just maybe, a wonderment piece of jewelry. Ultimately, all about the - to live.
