Kutchinsky Pins & Brooches

Kutchinsky brooches offer striking and unique designs, but their importance grows when considering the fascinating history of the house. Kutchinsky jewelry originated in the late years of the 19th century, but it was not until the 1920s, when young Joseph Kutchinsky joined the family business, that the house’s designs became increasingly in demand.

A master designer and a generally engaging fellow, Kutchinsky grew his family’s business rapidly, such that Kutchinsky brooches and jewels were in demand across London. Part of the success of Kutchinsky brooches was the unique quality of their designs: from gem-encrusted to gorgeous enamel attachments, Kutchinsky brooches resonated with expert design and timeless class.
