SΦINX® AUTHENTICITY
Every order placed on our website sfinx.gr or made at our authorized retailers comes with the SΦINX® Certificate of Authenticity personalized card. This card serves as your guarantee of authenticity, ensuring that you own an original SΦINX® jewelry, handcrafted with precision and care.
If you're ordering as a gift, please provide the recipient's name in the 'order notes' at checkout to personalize the card. All our jewelries dispatched with SΦINX® gift-boxes.
Sfinx.gr is the only official place you can find SΦINX® jewelry.
WHAT IS SΦINX® JEWELRY MADE FROM?
All SΦINX® jewelry is made of 925 Sterling Silver (hallmarked) and receives a plating. We plate with Rhodium, Black-Rhodium, double-laying Gold 24K, Rose Gold 24K or Antique. In all cases, the jewelry receives polish protection as the last stage to prevent from altering.
THE PRODUCTION
Our production operates on a 'made-to-order' basis and may require up to 5-7 full business days for completion. We lovingly handcraft each piece of jewelry specifically for you when you place an order. This approach is rooted in the essence of handcrafted jewelry and reflects our commitment to preventing overproduction, minimizing waste, and safeguarding the environment from unnecessary harm.
Please keep in mind that the ‘made-to-order’ process may take a bit longer compared to the swift delivery of mass-produced items from large warehouses. We kindly recommend ordering in advance to allow for processing time. If you require items by a specific date, please inform us accordingly. Remember, good things are worth waiting for! Your patience will be rewarded with a uniquely crafted treasure.
Every piece of SΦINX® jewelry is created and shipped from our workshop in Athens, Greece. Each item is designed and meticulously crafted with unwavering attention to quality and infused with a profound sense of purpose, authenticity, and conscious intent.
Our creativity is inspired by the idea of making the change we want to see in the world, following ethical eco-ethical principles, commitment to quality, and the concept of wearable art.

Repairs & Replating
REPAIRS
Quality and craftsmanship are the most important part for us. All our jewelry is destined to last for a lifetime. However, jewelry by its very nature is delicate and sensitive.
Please send your order ID, your SΦINX® Certification Card and description of the issue along with some close-ups of the damaged item to support@sfinx.gr and we will handle the issue as soon as possible. All repairs will be assessed on an individual basis.
We offer free repairs for any manufacturer defects within 20 days of purchase receipt. However, damages from misuse or general wear will require a repair fee. Please note, we can only accept repairs for items purchased on sfinx.gr. Repairs for items purchased at one of our retailers must be returned through the original point of purchase.
REPLATING
In case you need to re-plate your jewelry, please note, that the price for the plating service is per piece + shipping cost which depends on country of residence. Please send us an email at support@sfinx.gr to arrange this service.
