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.
A.E. Köchert Ausstellung in Schloss Gödöllő
Was passierte mit den Perlen Marie Antoinettes? Wie bestellte man Schmuck? Wer wollte und konnte Kaiserin Zita in den Schatten stellen? Und was übertraf sogar den Wert der meisten Diamanten?
Von Ringen und Torten
Schloss Fuschl, Drehort der Sisi-Filme und somit über die berühmten Sisi-Sterne seit jeher mit A. E. Köchert verbunden, beflügelt die Kreativität:
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.
Contrast in colour, harmony in shape – like two brushstrokes meeting on a canvas.

Inspiring conversation instead of competition. Each stone holding its own shade of violet, each one catching the light differently. Together they form a quiet harmony - strong, feminine, and entirely unique.

The biggest mystery of the Florentine Diamond has been resolved. Yet the question remains: what happened to the other private jewels of the Austrian Imperial Family - once stored in the notorious Vitrine XIII of the Imperial Treasury in Vienna?
Pieces like the magnificent Emerald Parure created by Alexander Emanuel Köchert, or the Ruby Parure featuring rubies that once belonged to Marie Antoinette. Or even Empress Elisabeth’s Köchert Diamond Crown?
And how did the collection end up in Canada?
Hear Christoph Köchert’s account of it!

One of the most legendary diamonds ever reappeared: the famous Florentine Diamond, set in its original head ornament for Emperor Franz Stephan. Having been asked to confirm the authenticity and been part of its rediscovery in Canada strikes us with awe. Other breathtaking pieces of the Imperial family’s private jewels should be inspected along with it.
Four Köchert pieces are among the collection of about 15 pieces: a diamond and pearl devant-de-corsage of Empress Elisabeth, two head ornaments - a bow shaped hairpin and an aigrette - in the Hungarian colours featuring rubies, emeralds and diamonds. They were created and adapted for Elisabeth’s and Franz Joseph’s coronation as king and queen of Hungary in 1867.
The star among the four is an emerald watch, dating back to Empress Maria Theresia. The watch is set inside of a facetted emerald in the size of a chicken egg. Unparalleled. The chatelaine holding it was made by the House of Köchert at the same time as the famous Emerald Suite for Empress Elisabeth to fit the new ensemble.
Among the collection are not only yellow sapphire brooches and Toison d`Or decorations but also another watch by the famous watch maker Jean-Antoine Lepine once having belonged to Queen Marie Antoinette. It features a mysterious lock of hair. Maybe from King Louis XVI., or one of the royal children? Or even from a lover?
All the pieces hold outstanding historic significance and have lived quite a turbulent past in more than one respect. Most of them all probably those of Marie Antoinette having escaped the turmoil of the French revolution. Also, the giant walnut sized briolett shaped Florentiner has a mysterious history.
Many rumours existed about the jewel’s fate. Now we know that Empress Zita took the jewels with her fleeing from the Nazis to exile in Canada. Shortly before her death she stated their existence mustn’t be made public before the 100th anniversary of the death of her husband Charles. To ensure the future of the collection as a unit of historical importance, the family now decided to establish a Canadian foundation, where the pieces found their new home.
