Levy's Fine Jewelry, Art & Antiques is a retailer specializing in antique and estate jewelry located at 2116 2nd Avenue North in downtown Birmingham. The company was founded by Joe Denaburg in 1922 as a watch, clock and jewelry shop. During the Great Depression, it was converted into a pawnbroker. In the 1980s it began specializing in estate jewelry and fine antiques, with retail and wholesale sales. It is currently owned by Denaburg's grandson, Todd Denaburg.

In June 2009 the store celebrated its 87th anniversary by wrapping 100 pieces of jewelry (worth between $20 and $1000) and leaving them scattered across the city.
