For over 28 years, this family-led brand has been shaping the world of fine jewelry under the careful guidance of Felix Köck and Nattaya Englinger, creating timeless pieces with a commitment to artistry and responsibility.

 
 

Each creation by VON KÖCK tells a story. Whether it's a diamond bracelet, sapphire earrings, or an engagement ring, these masterpieces are crafted to become cherished heirlooms. The brand’s focus on sustainability runs deep, from the responsible sourcing of gemstones to the personal relationships they maintain with select mines, ensuring ethical practices every step of the way. A hallmark of their innovative approach is the Sahara collection, which celebrates "Recycled Jewelry" by repurposing diamonds from pre-existing sources like inheritances and auctions. No new diamonds are mined for this collection, allowing VON KÖCK to reimagine luxury without compromising the planet’s resources. Each diamond is carefully recut, certified, and brought back to life with a contemporary edge.

 

VON KÖCK has also expanded into the world of pre-certified watches, launching the VON KÖCK Selected collection. These timepieces, ranging from Rolex to Audemars Piguet and Patek Philippe, are historical treasures. Sourced from esteemed collectors, each watch is meticulously inspected and certified, offering access to rare models that continue to embody craftsmanship and legacy.

Sustainability remains at the heart of everything VON KÖCK creates. By working exclusively with conflict-free gemstones and focusing on traditional Austrian handcraft, the brand ensures that every piece is as ethical as it is beautiful. VON KÖCK’s dedication to craftsmanship and the environment makes each piece a statement of luxury and a testament to a larger vision—where timeless beauty meets responsible design.

Luxury and opulence often eclipse ethical considerations in the dazzling world of high-end jewelry. However, Austria's premier jeweler Von Köck is breaking the mold.

 

Charting an uncharted course, they unveil Europe's first heritage/recycled diamond jewelry collection. This is the dawn of a pioneering movement towards sustainable luxury.

The Sahara Collection, unveiled in 2023, marks a paradigm shift in how we perceive and appreciate luxury jewelry. Von Köck, nestled in the heart of Vienna on the prestigious Graben, has long been synonymous with unparalleled craftsmanship and exquisite designs. However, with this collection, they are adding another feather to their cap - that of environmental stewardship.

This groundbreaking collection is a testament to the brand's commitment to safeguarding the earth's finite resources. In a bold move, Von Köck has eschewed the use of newly mined diamonds. Instead, the collection boasts diamonds sourced from old stocks, inheritances, auctions, and second-hand goods. Each gemstone is carefully selected from existing pieces, ensuring that no new environmental footprint is created in their quest for beauty.

These diamonds undergo a meticulous process of reworking, cutting, and re-certification, aligning with the latest standards in Heritage/Recycled Diamond Jewelry. This process not only breathes new life into the stones but also ensures that each piece meets the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship that Von Köck is renowned for.

Felix von Köck, the visionary at the helm of this second-generation family business, encapsulates the essence of this venture:

"The combination of tradition and innovation, the creation of an atmosphere full of imagination and values ​​in which our work can thrive and grow into new dimensions - that is the world of VON KÖCK."

Von Köck's commitment to excellence is not confined to their jewelry creations. The brand is equally passionate about finding the best quality materials for their high-quality watch brands from Germany and Switzerland. This ethos of pursuing perfection while honoring cultural heritage and responding to consumer demands has been the cornerstone of their success.

Diamond Evolution
* From Raw Gem to Handcrafted Icon

 

written Amanda Mortenson

 

Amidst the shimmering allure of diamonds as symbols of flawless beauty and timeless grace, Vienna's luxury jeweler, Von Köck, elevates this admiration to unparalleled heights.

 

Moving beyond the globally accepted 4Cs—carat, cut, clarity, and color—this esteemed jewelry expert thoroughly scrutinizes each diamond for both exceptional quality and ethical sourcing. Once approved, the unblemished gemstone is entrusted to master artisans, where it transforms into a breathtaking masterpiece.

But what truly sets Von Köck apart is their thematic collections. In the Navette Collection, the spotlight is on the eponymously named Navette diamond. Its elongated, boat-hull-like cut serves as a canvas for Von Köck's artisans, who infuse a touch of subtle extravagance into the classical silhouette. The resulting pieces, including the statement choker adorned with 194 Navette diamonds set in white gold, capture the imagination and promise to dazzle at any high-profile soirée.

Not to be outdone, the Paraiba Collection exudes raw, magnetic allure. Centered around the rare Paraiba Tourmaline, whose vibrant turquoise to green shades pop dramatically against cool white gold, this collection is an irresistible siren's call for the discerning. Whether it's the earrings' exquisite blend of 26 green and blue Paraiba tourmalines or the rings that showcase the gem's electrifying luminance, every piece feels like a plunge into a turquoise lagoon or a deep azure ocean.

In contrast, the Rainbow Collection offers a burst of joy with its effervescent play on colors. Embracing the full spectrum of the rainbow, this collection primarily uses perfectly graded sapphires to celebrate life's vibrant hues. From earrings that dance with light and color to rings that narrate a tale of vivacity and contemporary aesthetics, there's a promise of a pot of gold at the end of this rainbow.

Taking inspiration from one of Vienna's iconic landmarks, the Schönbrunn Collection is a tribute to the 270-year-old Tiergarten Schönbrunn. Melding 18-karat gold with a bevy of precious stones, the collection reflects the majesty of both marine and terrestrial creatures. Whether it's the Firefish brooch-pendant alive with diamonds, sapphires, and rubies, or the rings capturing the essence of giraffes and zebras, the designs ooze meticulous attention to detail and undeniable sophistication.

 
 
 
 

Von Köck is not just about selling jewelry; it's about narrating tales of tradition coupled with innovation. Nestled in Vienna's prestigious Graben and helmed by the second-generation Felix Köck, the brand has cemented its place among Austria's premier jewelers. Their philosophy? A perfect blend of honoring cultural heritage while tuning into the wishes of their patrons.

 

For Von Köck, jewelry-making transcends mere craft; it's an ongoing journey "From Generation to Perfection."
