Köchert stands for a passion for extraordinary, exclusive, handcraftet jewellery and for the remark Since 1873, the original A.E.

Founded in 1814, and having been the personal jeweller to the Austro-Hungarian Emperors, the house of A.E. Köchert still is of one of the most renowned jewellers in Europe. To this day, Köchert stands for individual jewellery art and design paired with immaculate craftsmanship. The so called “Sisi-Stars”, a special jewellery creation for Empress Elisabeth, have gained cult status. The company is still owned and managed by the Köchert familiy, now in the 6th generation. Köchert shop is located on Neuer Markt 15 in the center of Vienna. In 2005, Köchert opened a second store on noble Alter Markt 15 in Salzburg.

At the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec ‘Hidden Treasure: A Century of Mystery‘ brings 15 extraordinary jewels of the Habsburg family into the light for the first time - among them the legendary 137-carat Florentine Diamond. More than a collection of exceptional jewels, the exhibition tells a remarkable story of dynasty, political upheavals and exile.

Entrusted by the Habsburg family to examine the recovered jewels, Christoph Köchert authenticated the pieces — including identifying a couple of jewels with direct connection to Maison Köchert. His family’s historic relationship with the Imperial Court reaches back generations.

A rare encounter with imperial history, exceptional craftsmanship and the enduring power of provenance.

Who wouldn’t wish to keep their beloved four-legged companion close at all times? Fortunately, they are so wonderfully photogenic that one always has a cherished photograph to hand, right?

But imagine transforming that treasured image into a timeless piece of jewellery, bearing the portrait of your darling companion. In the most meticulous craftsmanship, the miniature work of art is engraved into rock crystal, delicately hand-coloured in finest miniature painting, and finally backed with a layer of mother-of-pearl.

Ida, for one, is utterly enchanted by her own likeness.

We can hardly wait for the first whispers of spring. Even our floral arrangement of the week is longing for the season’s very first lantern party.
For those who would rather not wait, we have prepared a few vibrant accents to brighten the days ahead. After all, who says lanterns belong only in the trees?

On days such as this, it is time to bring out one’s orders and decorations, for balls like the Vienna Opera Ball provide the fitting stage. Once bestowed by the Emperor in recognition of exceptional merit, these distinctions were crafted by the House of Köchert in a variety of sumptuous designs.

Shown here is the Order of St Stephen, awarded to Otto von Bismarck in 1872 - the highest honour of the Kingdom of Hungary. It is currently on display at the Royal Palace of Gödöllő, generously loaned by the Otto von Bismarck Foundation in Friedrichsruh to the exhibition A. E. Köchert, Jeweller to Emperor and Crown.

Since the very inception of our company, collaboration with contemporary artists has been integral to our identity. This project with the outstanding American artist George Condo continues a long-standing tradition of artistic partnership.

Desireah — a neologism formed from the words desire and diarrhoea — was conceived under the patronage of HRH Prince Ernst August of Hanover. As is so often the case in Condo’s oeuvre, the work engages in a dialogue with classical motifs from art history.

The outer shell, crafted from rock crystal, is exquisitely adorned with gold, precious stones and pearls. An unequivocal reference to classical Kunstkammer pieces. Concealed within is a perfume flacon in the form of a human figure holding a bottle. The figure opens at the waist; upon closer inspection, one discerns the allusion to the form of a lavatory — a deliberately provocative gesture in the unmistakable spirit of Condo.

The work may be admired until 6 April as part of the exhibition A. E. Köchert. Jeweller to Emperor and Crown at the Royal Palace of Gödöllő.

A discreet glimpse behind the scenes of the current Köchert exhibition at the Royal Palace of Gödöllő — of particular interest to connoisseurs of the hunting tradition. This highly personal bespoke creation for HRH Princess Caroline of Hanover combines hunting trophies with enamel craftsmanship, resulting in an unconventional masterpiece: the so-called Latschen Diadem, which may also be worn as a necklace.
