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.
Do we not all eagerly anticipate the splendour of spring in bloom? For those unwilling to wait, one may instead delight in one of our historic floral creations - once a defining signature of the House of Köchert.
Presented here, a particularly exquisite example: a fuchsia brooch gifted by Emperor Franz Joseph to his beloved Katharina Schratt, set with exceptional Burmese rubies and old-cut diamonds. Today, it resides within the Horten Collection, a testament to how enduring a floral gift may truly be.

For those enchanted by the allure of exceptional gemstones and the stories they whisper through time, the “Joyaux Dynastiques” exhibition at the Hôtel de la Marine in Paris is not to be missed.
Among its treasures - alongside a historically significant Köchert tiara - this exquisite ensemble of stones is on display, once part of the diadem of a distinguished Austrian figure: Empress Marie Louise of France, the former wife of Napoleon.

We are delighted by the rediscovery of a treasure of exceptional imperial provenance. Previously unidentified, it came to our attention in the context of the exhibition Dynastic Jewels at the Hôtel de la Marine in Paris.
Its former owner, Archduchess Marie Valerie of Austria, was the youngest child of the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph and the favourite daughter of his wife, Empress Elisabeth.
She enjoyed a rare privilege: she was allowed to marry for love. The extensive wedding trousseau by the House of Köchert was unparalleled within the Habsburg Monarchy in the second half of the nineteenth century.
Thanks to our extensive archives, we are able to match surviving drawings with contemporary newspaper descriptions. Among the five tiaras Marie Valerie received, this was the principal piece.
As with all Köchert tiaras, the piece was multifunctional. Sketches from the design process reveal options to convert components into haircombs and pins, as well as a hairband, a necklace, and brooches.
Following Marie Valerie’s death, the tiara was passed on to one of her nine children and is now part of the Al Thani Collection @al.thani.collection, standing as a testament to a bygone era.
