Victor Mayer (1887-1946) was born in Germany to a family of entrepreneurs and founded his jewellery manufacture in 1890, on the cusp of the Belle Époque. Showing promise as a talented draftsman, he first trained as a steel engraver before enrolling at the Grand Ducal School of Arts and Crafts in Vienna. He spent three years there, learning and developing the guilloché engraving and fire enamelling techniques that are still being used to this day. These traditional techniques, which require excellent craftsmanship and precision, have been preserved by the company for over 125 years, making Victor Mayer the only jewellery manufacturer in Europe to produce guilloché engraving and fire enamel to such a superior standard.
