About us \u2013 how we see ourselves<\/h1>\n<\/div>We make jewellery, not just because we can, but because we view it as our calling. We create jewellery with very special characteristics: above all, these are techniques that cannot be learned in a vocational school – but only from our master craftsmen and women. Without these skills we would not be in a position to create our distinctive jewellery in its unique form. We regard the most important task of VICTOR MAYER to be keeping our craftsmanship alive and conveying its inherent magic.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
We \u2013 the employees and the proprietor family \u2013 share the same passion: we make jewellery for connoisseurs, for individualists, for cultured people. We take an interest in the beauty and the wonder of this world. Like the people of the Renaissance, we are more generalists than specialists. Would you like to understand how to accurately assess our work? Then we invite you to get to know us better.

<\/div><\/div>Manufacture \u2013 a rare cultural treasure<\/h2>\n<\/div>The 1970s saw jewellery manufacturers also confronted with the increasing pressure to relocate to low wage countries.

As a consequence, we remain committed to the craftsmanship tradition of our hometown \u2013 the Golden City of Pforzheim.
