About Jockheck
Jockheck Jewellers Platinum and Gold Atelier, located in the heart of downtown Burlington, where everything is possible.
Our jewellery studio offers the unique opportunity to bring your design ideas to life or find a one-of-a-kind piece of jewellery as the ideal gift or addition to your personal jewellery box.
The design studio and workshop is located in the heart of Burlington, Ontario, just a 30-minute drive from both downtown Toronto and the Niagara Region of Southern Ontario. The business is owned and run by David Walter Jockheck, a professional master goldsmith who has been designing and making jewellery for over 40 years.
When you enter the small, cozy jewellery store, you get a glimpse of a real craftsman’s atelier. The jewellery created here is unique in both design and quality — pieces are made by hand or with computer assistance, showcasing the craftsmanship of one of the finest jewellers in Southern Ontario.
At Jockheck Jewellers you will work directly with David, who will help you create your own custom diamond and coloured stone ring, earrings, bracelet or necklace — choosing your preferred setting style and metal, from platinum to high-grade golds.
“Everything is Possible.”
Three generations of goldsmiths
David is a third-generation master model maker and goldsmith working in platinum and gold. He proudly continues a family tradition that began in 1936 in Bremen, Germany, with his grandfather, Walter Max Jockheck, who had his Masters papers stamped by the German government, allowing him to start his own jewellery store.
David began his apprenticeship in 1976 with his father, Walter Fredrick Jockheck, and became an integral member of the firm “Jockheck and Nawratil Jewellery Ltd.” In 1981, David’s father was commissioned by Henry Birks & Sons, Inc. to produce an exquisite broach for the Royal Regiment of Canada — a wedding gift presented to Lady Diana Spencer and Prince Charles to commemorate their marriage.
David has since worked with many respected high-end jewellery firms across Canada and spent five years with the prestigious house of Harry Winston in Manhattan, New York. He now creates his own pieces here in Burlington, hand-crafting his designs and custom order pieces, all fashioned in-house, with his customers involved throughout the design process.
