An heirloom in the making
Menander comes from the Ancient Greek menos — spirit, strength, and vital force — joined with anēr, meaning man. Taken together, it evokes the idea of a human life animated by inner strength and creative spirit. House of Menander is rooted in the idea of crafting objects that endure, inspired by the force that moves us all.
Everything is made by hand, one piece at a time
I believe that jewellery should be worn like memory, close to the skin and heavy with story. Each of my pieces is an invitation to explore myth, memory, personal significance, and universal truths.
What I love about jewellery is that it becomes a vessel for the wearer’s identity, a miniature narrative infused with symbolic weight and emotional resonance.
Handmade. Slow. Intentional.
Michalis is a maker whose work explores form, symbolism, and storytelling through contemporary jewellery. Under his creative practice, House of Menander, he creates sculptural, hand-finished pieces in silver that often reference classical architecture, myth, and minimalism. With a deep respect for traditional silversmithing, each piece is made entirely by hand. His designs invite reflection: wearable objects that feel personal yet open to interpretation. Drawing from history while resisting nostalgia, Michalis balances material exploration with thoughtful narrative, aiming to create jewellery that connects past and present through shape, craft, and meaning.
