Founded in London's East End in 1893 and at its creative peak in the 1960s and 70s, Kutchinsky became known for bold, beautifully made gold jewellery — richly textured surfaces, vivid enamel and a sense of humour, from animal brooches to dramatic cocktail rings. Today its signed vintage pieces are genuinely collectable.
What is Kutchinsky jewellery?
Kutchinsky is a British house best known for 1960s–70s textured 18ct gold, enamel-and-diamond animal brooches (cats, tigers, frogs), and bold cocktail rings set with lapis, tiger's eye, coral and turquoise. Pieces are signed Kutchinsky and carry British hallmarks — the maker's mark, the 18ct (750) standard, and a London assay date letter that dates the piece exactly.
