ABOUT THE DESIGNER
Sphinx was founded by S. Root in 1948 Chiswick, England.The company employed 200-300 people making high-quality jewellery. The pieces were beautifully designed and renowned in many cases to look real. They produced necklaces, bracelets, pendants, brooches, earrings and charms, made in silver and gold tone metals. The jewellery designs include the use of coloured and aurora borealis stones together with simulated pearls. In addition to their own jewellery collection, Sphinx produced jewellery for the higher end companies and department stores including, Kenneth J. Lane. Butler and Wilson, Marks and Spencer, Saks 5th Avenue and Bloomingdales. Sphinx ceased trading in 2000 and is highly collectable today.
Our vision at Mayveda is to create a world in which jewellery is truly valued, including the pieces already owned. We believe in buying less, buying quality whilst repairing and restoring pieces for future generations.
For us it is about style which lasts, resulting in future heirlooms for modern women who appreciate luxury, craftsmanship, history and one of a kind pieces. READ MORE >
