Our Workshop
At Michalis Jewelry, handmade gold pieces are created through a seamless collaboration of masters—designers, goldsmiths, gemologists, setters and polishers—turning original sketches into exceptional jewels.
The Art of Craftsmanship
A handmade jewelry creation is a synthesis of diverse arts. From the first sketch to the final polish, every detail is perfected with precision. At Michalis, master artisans bring exquisite designs to life through dedication, research, and many hours of meticulous work.
Jewelry Design
Inspirations are turned into designs. Our designers transform ideas into sketches, laying the foundation of the jewelry-making process, and work hand in hand with gemologists to highlight the natural beauty of each gemstone.
Gemology – In Search of the Finest
Michalis gemologists individually select by eye outstanding diamonds from Antwerp and natural colored stones from around the world. Together with designers, they refine multiple sketches to ensure each design enhances the character of every natural gem.
The Goldsmith’s Art
Master modelers and goldsmiths bring the designer’s sketch to life—sawing, bending, soldering, drilling and refining the nascent jewel. Visible and invisible parts are perfected to the smallest detail for beauty and durability.
Gem Setting
Setting gemstones demands surgical precision. Experienced setters sculpt and adjust the metal to house each stone perfectly, securing brilliance and stability.
Polishing & Inspection
Polishing is performed multiple times to reveal a flawless shine. Each creation undergoes strict inspection with no compromise on perfection—only perfectly crafted jewelry leaves our ateliers.
In-house Jewelry Atelier
Handmade manufacture can take weeks or even months of work. All operations are carried out in our fully equipped studio in Athens. Each piece bears our hallmark of authenticity, certifying production, quality and fineness.
