It's no surprise that the Upper East Side is the go-to for the finer things–5th and Madison Avenues are as sprinkled with fine jewelers' perfectly decorated boutiques as their designs are with precious stones. But, after frequent visits to these key players (you know their names all too well), head to the estate and vintage collectors for pieces that are truly one-of-a-kind. Notables include Madison Avenue staples Stephen Russell, Fred Leighton and FD Gallery.
