Culture, tradition, and innovation come together in the jewelry exhibition that opened on Friday at the Royal Palace of Gödöllő, showcasing the wonderful works of the Köchert dynasty, purveyors to the Austrian imperial and Hungarian royal families, said the Minister of Culture and Innovation at the opening of the exhibition.
Balázs Hankó emphasized that the goal is for everyone to be able to see the Royal Palace of Gödöllő in the coming years as Queen Elisabeth once saw it.
The Köchert family and the Habsburg dynasty share a common history, as the Viennese jeweler family has been their official supplier for almost two hundred years since 1831, and a lively relationship between them continues to this day, emphasized Karl Joseph von Habsburg-Lothringen, who opened the exhibition. He added that the Köcherts have always been pioneers in the manufacture of modern jewelry.

Tamás Ujvári, managing director of the Royal Palace of Gödöllő, reported that the exhibition was made possible after more than two years of preparation thanks to the work of a strong team from the palace, and that they had found an excellent partner in the Köchert family.
Astrid Harz, the Austrian ambassador to Budapest, mentioned that numerous pieces of Köchert jewelry had recently been found in a suitcase in Canada, which can now also be admired by the public. She added that Austria is making great efforts to track down its heritage and cultural treasures, as this provides an opportunity to examine pieces of historical value.

Present at the opening were Wolfgang, Christian, and Florian Köchert, the three current heads of the jewelry dynasty; Beatrice Austerlitz, the exhibition’s chief curator; György Gémesi, Mayor of Gödöllő; Szilveszter Lévay, composer of the musical Elisabeth; the ambassadors of Qatar and Chile to Hungary, and a representative of the Qatar Museum, which loaned objects for the exhibition.

Most of the special jewelry pieces on display are being shown in Hungary for the first time, and most of them are privately owned and not accessible to the public. Most of the lenders are aristocrats, but there are also monarchs among them.
One of the highlights of the exhibition is a Neo-Renaissance-style brooch made of diamonds, pearls, and enamel from the collection of Queen Elisabeth, which is now being exhibited for the first time.
It was designed by the Dane Theophil von Hansen, who also designed the Vienna Parliament, the Academy of Music, and the Stock Exchange. The piece of jewelry was considered lost for decades until it was rediscovered during an exciting family scavenger hunt, and is now being presented to the public together with the original designs.

Drawings from the archives of the Köchert jewelry house, which has been in existence since 1814, provide interested visitors with more information about the numerous bridal jewelry pieces belonging to Archduchess Maria Valeria, as well as some masterpieces from the famous display case No. 13 of the Imperial and Royal Treasury, which disappeared after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
In addition to the historically significant necklaces, diamond-studded medals, rings, and tiaras associated with famous personalities, visitors can also learn about other special goldsmith works from the Köchert jewelry workshop.

The masterpieces on display in the exhibition tell of historical events, special personal occasions, high-quality craftsmanship, and the unique, more than two-hundred-year history of the Köchert family of jewelers. The company is now in its sixth generation.
The jewelry on display is complemented by clothing, paintings, sculptures, and engravings from Hungarian and foreign public and private collections.
The special exhibition The Jeweler of Emperors and Kings can be seen until April 6, 2026, in the riding hall of the Royal Palace in Gödöllő.
