""Galt & Bro. (also known as simply Galt's) an American luxury jewelry and specialty goods retailer from Washington, District of Columbia. It is known for bespoke jewelry made mostly in 18 karat yellow, white and rose gold, precious and semi-precious gemstones, natural diamonds, sterling silver, watches, and high-end customizable personal accessories. Galt is one of the oldest jewelry companies in America, due to being one of the first officially established businesses in the nation's capital as of 1802.[1]

Galt & Bro. was founded in 1802 by the jeweller James Galt[2] and became famous in the 19th and 20th century by being a popular shopping destination for many prominent figures in American history. The company's ledgers had a list of distinguished patrons including Presidents, First Ladies, diplomats, and renowned visitors from around the world. The imprint of Galt appears on a vast number of valuable items of great historical interest, many of which became museum relics such Abraham Lincoln's pocket watch.
