Friedrich Kochli - A collectable piece with history, nobility, and superb craftsmanship. Here is a beautiful Russian bracelet from the turn of 20th century signed by Friedrich Kochli.
The bracelet is in 14-karat gold and set with 24 cabochon-cut natural sapphires and bears the maker's marks "FK" and the mark "56" zolotonik (indicating 14-karat gold), 93,7 gr.
It’s accompanied by a letter signed by Princess Sophie Schakhowskoy, attesting that the bracelet was purchased by Tsar Nicholas II at a Fabergé boutique and gifted to Grand Duchess Constantine, to whom the Princess served as a lady-in-waiting in 1907.
Friedrich Köchli (1838–1909) was one of Imperial Russia's most prominent jewelers. An official supplier to Tsars Alexander III and Nicholas II, his St. Petersburg workshop was renowned and highly respected for the finesse of its craftsmanship, the inventiveness of its designs, and the precision of its stone setting.
Although Fabergé remains the most famous name of that era, Kochli’s work displays the same sophistication, technical skill, and refinement that characterized the excellence of craftsmanship at the Russian court. Today, his work is increasingly appreciated and is attracting renewed interest from collectors.
