The high art of gemstone processing –
exquisite jewelry from Vienna.

A. E. KÖCHERT

IMPERIAL

When the Vienna Congress was taking place in Vienna in 1814, it was a good time for jewelers, as women had to be fitted out for all the festivities. That year marked the begin of the success story by A. E. Köchert, the imperial chamber jeweler who later designed the famous Sisi star for Empress Sisi. ­Today, the family business still counts as one of the top jewelers internationally.

The store Von Köck presents itself in a reduced, timeless, bright and modern fashion and is located in a prominent location ever since 1997.

POMELLATO

GLAMOROUS

In 1990, the Italian brand has been introduced in Vienna by the family ­Heldwein – the opening of a flagship store at the Goldenes Quartier was only logical after their decades-long success.
