Renowned for intricate and sophisticated jewelry, the Victor Mayer company has created personal adornments of the highest quality for over a century. Using complex guilloche and enamel techniques, the German manufacturer is known for its hoop earrings, pendants and cufflinks, while its authentic Victor Mayer Fabergé egg pendants, featuring delicate embellishments and exquisite enameling, have been especially popular with generations of connoisseurs.
Aftering studying at the Grand Ducal School of Arts and Crafts in Weimar, Germany, and training for three years in Vienna, Victor Mayer opened his jewelry business in 1890, in Pforzheim, Germany. His craftsmanship rapidly gained renown across Europe.
Ever mindful of evolving tastes, the company underwent three major style changes in Mayer’s lifetime, beginning with a focus on the Belle Époque of the late 19th century. It later adapted when Mayer saw that Art Nouveau was taking off around the world. The company remained operational during the first World War, and then once again adjusted its style to match the rising influence of Art Deco.
World War II shut down the Victor Mayer company, as jewelry was considered a non-essential wartime industry. After the war ended, the company slowly reopened and experienced a slight uptick in business.
Mayer died in 1946. His son, Oscar, and businessman Edmund Mohr managed the company together until the 1960s. Under Mohr and Mayer, it became a leader in producing fine accessories for gentlemen, while continuing to create jewelry for women.
In the 1960s, Mayer’s son, Hubert, and Mohr’s son, Herbert, succeeded their fathers. The duo steered the company in a new — but classic — creative direction. While in art school, Mohr had absorbed all he could regarding the artistic patronage of the Tsars. In the 1980s, he designed the company’s Esprit de Fabergé collection, which was modeled after the exuberant style of the master Fabergé crafters.
In 1989, the long-dormant House of Fabergé appointed the Victor Mayer company to be its workmaster until 2009. During this time, the company not only grew its customer base throughout Europe, Southeast Asia and North America, it revived the Fabergé jewelry line.
In 2005, Mohr retired, and his son, Marcus, took over the company’s management. Under his leadership, the Victor Mayer jewelry company continues to thrive and produce incomparable works of timeless elegance.

Victor Mayer Morganite Diamond Guilloché Enamel Earrings in White Gold
By Victor Mayer
Located in Pforzheim, DE
Victor Mayer Celeste Drop Earrings in 18k White Gold with Two Cushion-Cut Morganites, Tahitian Grey Guilloché Enamel and 1.20 Carats of Diamonds Two cushion-cut morganites, translucent Tahitian grey vitreous enamel and brilliant-cut diamonds define these Celeste drop earrings by Victor Mayer. The earrings are handcrafted in 18k white gold and combine traditional guilloché and vitreous-enamel techniques with an open, articulated gemstone setting. Each faceted morganite measures approximately 16 × 16 × 6.2 mm and is cut on both the front and reverse, allowing light to enter the gemstone from several directions. Each morganite is secured in an open seven-claw setting. Three of the seven claws are set with one brilliant-cut diamond, giving a total of six diamonds weighing approximately 1.20 carats, graded G colour and VS clarity. The morganite settings are suspended from round enamelled upper elements and move gently when worn. Each slightly domed enamel bouton measures approximately 12.45 mm in diameter. Beneath the translucent Tahitian grey vitreous enamel, a guilloché motif creates depth and a subtle play of reflected light. A polished white-gold rim frames each enamel element. Victor Mayer has specialised in traditional jewellery-making techniques since 1890. In its Pforzheim manufactory, vitreous enamel is applied in successive layers and fired at approximately 800 degrees Celsius. The contrast between the softly coloured pink morganites, cool Tahitian grey enamel and polished white gold gives the earrings a balanced and distinctive appearance. Their articulated construction introduces gentle movement while preserving the clear geometry of the cushion-cut gemstones and round enamel boutons. The earrings are supplied in a Victor Mayer jewellery...
