General Information

Not currently, sorry! This is the only Online & Official place you can find our handmade premium SΦINX® jewelry.

You can find our SΦINX® products in selected stores:

- SORRY MAMA Tattoo Studio - Perikleous 3 & Panagi Tsaldari, Marousi, 151 22, Athens, Greece.
- PHILEO - The Greek Concept Store - Friderikis 7, Delphi, 330 54, Greece

All SΦINX® jewelry is hand-made of 925 Sterling Silver and receives a plating. We plate with 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 gold altering. 

More information for each of our products can be found in their descriptions. All jewelry is designed to last a lifetime. It is therefore very important to care for your pieces and ensure that their beauty will last longer.

Yes, all our 925 Sterling Silver items are hallmarked, with exception to smaller items where there is no space to make the 925 mark.

We know how important is to keep the original brilliance of your jewelry, so we recommend you to keep water, lotions, perfumes and soaps away from plated jewelry to prolong its life. You can use a silver polishing cloth to polish your plated jewelry, just don't rub too hard! 

Try a lint-free flannel, microfiber, or other soft nonabrasive cloth as an alternative. Do not use paper towels or tissues to polish your jewelry as they contain fibers that can scratch the plating. Exposure to air naturally tarnishes plating over time so storing in an airtight bag is a great preventative measure.

Jewelry should be stored away from natural sunlight and heat. We recommend place them in a protective (lined) jewelry box, a tarnish-resistant pouch or in a plastic zip lock bag made of polyethylene. Never use polyvinyl plastic bags. Do not store your jewelry in the bathroom or any humid spot.

Please note that our SΦINX® gift-boxes are not made for long-term storage as they are not airtight and tarnishing will occur over time.
