One-off rings and brooches are made at Schmuckwerkstätte Schipflinger, the goldsmith's studio on Schlossergasse in Innsbruck's old town. The workshop takes personal commissions, including coat-of-arms rings, and also offers laser engraving. Linz's Juwelier S.M. Wild am Taubenmarkt combines watches with diamonds and pearls, continuing a Taubenmarkt shop history that dates to Karl Liedl in 1830. Juwelier Koppenwallner offers rings and earrings alongside necklaces, with a separate antique-jewellery selection for shoppers seeking older pieces.
Schipflinger works from a small goldsmith's studio on Schlossergasse in Innsbruck's old town, where rings, brooches and honor medals are each made as one-off pieces rather than pulled from stock. The workshop handles gold, platinum, silver and titanium alongside laser engraving, taking on commissions as personal as coat-of-arms rings for Tyrolean families.
Documented since 1830 as the watch shop of Karl Liedl, this Taubenmarkt jeweler has operated continuously for nearly two centuries and became one of Austria's first Rolex concessionaires in 1954, granted directly by founder Hans Wilsdorf. The S.M. Wild family took over the business in 2012, keeping the historic name while dealing in watches, diamonds, and pearls alongside its own jewelry.

The Swarovski Kristallwelten Store Wien sits at Kärntner Straße 24, on one of Vienna's principal shopping streets in the first district, close to St. Stephen's Cathedral. The store spans roughly 1,200 square metres across three floors and carries Swarovski's retail range — fine and fashion jewelry, watches, accessories, home and design pieces, optics, and the brand's crystal figurines. Its street-facing facade is fitted with crystal lighting modules and LED elements, and the store uses window displays and glass-cube installations, some created with outside artists, as part of its retail presentation — an approach connected to the artist-collaboration model Swarovski established at its Kristallwelten (Crystal Worlds) visitor attraction in Wattens, Tyrol, opened in 1995. A Moët & Chandon bar operates on the store's first floor. The Vienna store trades under the Kristallwelten name as part of Swarovski's retail network, distinct from the Wattens attraction, and has operated at this Kärntner Straße address for more than a decade, functioning as one of Swarovski's larger European flagship-format stores.
