Victor Mayer

The manufacture Victor Mayer is well known for its high-end jewellery and the preservation of historical artisan techniques such as authentic fire enamel or guilloché.

There he gained valuable experience in enamelling and guilloché-engraving, sophisticated techniques which are still being used at the manufacture Victor Mayer today.

After returning to Pforzheim, he continued his studies at the Grand Duke’s Art and Crafts School and received significant commendations in drawing, modelling and design.

Herrmann Vogel left the company in 1895 after conflict arose between the partners, and Victor Mayer continued the business alone under his own name.

When Hubert died unexpectedly in 1989, Herbert purchased the original shares held by his cousin to become sole proprietor of the manufacture.

In 1989 the company obtained the licence to manufacture Fabergé jewellery and objects of art and achieved great success with these pieces until 2009.

In 2003 Herbert Mohr-Mayer left the company and his son Marcus Oliver Mohr became creative director and managing partner.

Marcus was appointed a workmaster for Faberge and continues to create guilloche enamel jewellery and objects of art for Fabergé Ltd., London.
