Roger König, creative force and Managing Director Koenig Design AG
We do not deal with brokers and thanks to the in-depth knowledge of our in-house experts, we work exceptionally fast. This allows us to offer our customers a level of quality and value for money unlike any other business in the industry. And despite our expansion over the past few years, we always keep production of hand-made pieces to a limited and manageable level. After all, this is the only way to maintain our high quality standards.
We base the price of our diamonds on the Rapaport Diamond Report and ensure they have all received a prestigious GIA certificate. The precious metals used to create our pieces are purchased exclusively from our supplier Gyr Edelmetalle AG in Baar, Switzerland, which is certified by the Oekogold Label for ethical gold.
Roger König studied goldsmithery in Düsseldorf, Germany, before joining the family firm in St. Moritz in 1995. Now, he works as the creative force at Koenig Design AG, while also managing the company with great success. Due to the work of his father, Ewald König, the founder of Koenig Design AG, his first contact with the world of jewelry design came at an early age. At the age of just 18, he took solo trips around the world and gained an insight into all facets of jewelry, from various design influences to a wide array of production techniques.
“Developments over the past few years have of course also benefited our customers, who have come to respect outstanding value for money, the highest standards in quality and unique design. Hence, they keep coming back.”
Everything starts with an idea and ours was as simple as it was ingenious. Designing and producing pieces of jewelry and works of art of the highest quality – a level that is a fitting tribute to the standards and refinement of the glorious period at the turn of the 1920s.
This idea was first formed by Koenig Design in 1985 and the family-run business has been following this philosophy ever since. Now in our second generation, we are continuing to follow this path and there is no looking back.
To live up to these expectations, we use only the finest materials in all our pieces. Expertise, versatility and a passion for detail are just a few examples from our never-ending list of attributes. We have followed this philosophy since we started.
The company has embodied high quality Swiss craftsmanship since 1985. All our pieces of high jewelry and jewelry design creations are produced at our house atelier in Celerina, nearby St. Moritz.
Because the ‘Koenig’ and ‘Koenig of St. Moritz’ trademarks are registered at the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property, the company undertakes to apply the ‘Koenig’ trademark only to products of Swiss origin.
As well as adhering to the 100% Swiss Made quality standards, König also believes in the importance of sustainability and transparency. All our gemstones are purchased directly from producers and lapidaries with which the company enjoys long-term, trusting business relationships.
