Lovers of the extraordinary appreciate the beauty of Victor Mayer's designs, which use extremely rare techniques such as genuine enamel or elaborate engravings. Since 1890, the company has stood for the finest jewellery Hand Made in Germany.

Reference: V1728/AR/00/00/102_V1712/00/00/00/10250 Brand: VICTOR MAYER Collection: Diskos Material: 18k yellow gold Vitreous enamel: translucent burgundy red over guilloche ground Measurements: Ø app. 15 mm Chain V1712/00/00/00/10250 is included. Length: 50 cm About vitreuos enamel: The inimitably luminous colours are literally created "in the fire": layer by layer, enamel is carefully fired in at 800 degrees Celsius. During guilloching, the finest wave patterns are engraved into the gold, creating a unique depth effect. Vitreous means made of glass: the ancient technique is almost forgotten today and Victor Mayer is perhaps the last manufactory to master it at the highest level. About guilloché: Guilloché refers to a class of enamel with abstract geometric patterns cut into the surface of precious metals and showing clearly through the overlying glaze. The manner in which the design is engraved into the metal increases the luminous quality and play of colours in the translucent glaze when the object is rotated to catch the light. About gold paillons Paillons are shaped emblems of gold foil. They are fused to a pre-fired enamel grounding and coated with clear enamels. This creates an illusion of chased metal...Category
