It's just a bad practice of many bloggers not to disclose their sources – no doubt in many instances to obscure how shamelessly they are exploiting the work and efforts of others.
Some of the information in the image description can be verified. The names of father (Alexander) and son (Heinrich) Köchert are correct. The dates associated with both names are congruent with their biographical data. Alexander Köchert died in 1879, so he would have been responsible for the alteration of the tiara in 1878, while his son Heinrich was in charge when allegedly more emeralds were added to the tiara in 1888.
So far, so good. Everything else remains speculation until we'd come across a reliable source. Köchert became Kammerjuwelier (personal supplier to one or several members of the imperial family) only after Kammerjuwelier Franz Edler von Mack had died in 1849, which means von Mack – not Köchert – would have been responsible for the alteration of the tiara in 1847. When it was altered again in 1856 and in 1864 Alexander Köchert's father Jakob Heinrich might have been entrusted with the task, although there was another Kammerjuwelier in Vienna since 1849: the company of Joseph and Anton Biedermann.
