Der Valentinstag und seine Symbole.
Der römische Heilige Valentin soll Soldaten, denen Heirat verboten war, heimlich getraut haben. Dank Dichtern wie Geoffrey Chaucer oder William Shakespeare schlich er sich in die neuzeitliche Folklore ein und im 20. Jahrhundert entstand ein regelrechter Rummel um den so erklärten Tag der Liebe.

Von verschollenen Schätzen
Vor Kurzem wurde also eines der bestgehüteten Geheimnisse der Schmuckgeschichte gelüftet: einige der sagenumwobenen Habsburger Juwelen der berühmten Vitrine XIII sind nach über 100 Jahren wieder aufgetaucht.
Freunde des Hauses
Jewels can be seen as an enhancement or a protection ... personally I like to look at them as an adventure.
Köchert Juweliere, der glänzende Fels in einer Brandung von weltweit Austauschbarem, der sich seiner Geschichte bewusst ist und mit Gespür für das Besondere und handwerkliche Verve sich auf diese nicht verlässt.
Jeder Besuch bei den Köcherts ist ein Erlebnis! Ich liebe es, in die anregende Welt der wunderbaren Steine und Pretiosen einzutauchen, mehr zu erfahren über die Farben, Besonderheiten und Geschichten der Schmuckstücke!
Die österreichische Geschichte, wie auch die meiner Familie, ist mit dem Hause Köchert eng verbunden. Und das merkt man sofort, wenn man das historische Geschäft am Neuen Markt betritt. Der Schmuck ist einfach einzigartig und eine wunderbare Kombination aus gelebter Tradition und aktuellem Design. Bravo!
Den erlesenen Schmuck von Köchert schätze ich als allerfeinstes Kunsthandwerk. Geschmack und Stil des Hauses, sowie das angenehme, persönliche Verhältnis zur Unternehmerfamilie sind einmalig.
As one leafs through our extensive archive of drawings, it is all too easy to lose oneself in the beauty of these historic tiara designs. One cannot help but imagine how the finished piece might have taken shape, and which inspirations from nature may have guided the designer.
In this case, it seems to have been magnolias, delicately stylised to adorn a lady’s coiffure. Our anticipation of the approaching spring only grows stronger with every glance.

Long before its mysterious disappearance in 1918, the extraordinary Emerald Parure of Empress Elisabeth had already captivated all who beheld or read about it. Even during the Empress’s lifetime, the celebrated Vine-Leaf Parure was regarded as the most magnificent of her many jewels.
The ensemble comprised a diadem, a collier, earrings, a grand devant-de-corsage, two bracelets, and a most remarkable watch. The emeralds, masterfully set by Alexander Emanuel Köchert in the 1870s, originated from a jewel once belonging to Empress Maria Theresia and were reimagined for Elisabeth within this breathtaking new creation.
Today, the whereabouts of only a single piece from this legendary set created by the House of Köchert are known. The watch was among the private Habsburg jewels rediscovered in Canada only a few months ago - treasures that had accompanied Austria’s last Empress Zita into exile.
The egg-sized emerald containing the timepiece, once part of Maria Theresia’s collection, is mounted on a chatelaine designed by Alexander Emanuel Köchert. In its daring conception and singular character, it remains a striking testament to the audacity and brilliance of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Imperial jewellery.

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?

Golden light for the winter season. These trapezoid-shaped earrings, set with citrine, bring a quiet warmth to crisp, pale textures. Their structured silhouette lends architectural poise, while the faceted stones catch the light with a restrained, honeyed glow. Composed. Confident. Distinctly refined. A touch of sun telling tales of a spring to come.

If you ever feel like taking a break from skiing for a day, a gentle walk alongside the gently meandering Lech River, just beyond the doors of Post Lech Arlberg, is highly recommended. For a touch of romance, why not take a horse-drawn carriage ride to the nearby village of Zug? Upon your return, a crackling fire and a comforting afternoon tea await in the Hubertushalle. And who knows – perhaps, as your gaze wanders, a glimpse of a jewel from the illustrious Imperial jeweller Köchert may quietly catch your eye.
