In the art deco period and in the 1950s the manufacture focused mainly on fine gold and silver ware. From the 1970s onwards again more jewellery was manufactured. Until 1988 the company produced Fabergé jewelry for Fabergé & Cie in Paris with the label 'Fabergé Paris'. From 1925 until 2009, the company continued to produce Fabergé jewelry under license from Unilever New York until the brand license was sold. 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.
