Classic Pyramid and Sphinx Charm - Gold Stainless Steel - 14.6x17.5mm
The Sphinx in Front of the Pyramid
A triangular charm in gold-tone stainless steel, cast as a pyramid with the courses of stone blocks worked across the face, and the Great Sphinx modelled in high relief at the base - the nemes headdress striped, the paws stretched forward. It measures 14.6mm wide by 17.5mm tall and 3.2mm thick.
At 1.18g it is lighter than it looks, and the depth is real modelling rather than a thick plate: the sphinx stands proud of the pyramid face and catches light separately from it. The reverse carries the pyramid and a pharaoh's head in gold relief.

Choose Charm only to add it to a bracelet you already own. Charm + Clasp adds a small lobster clasp so it clips straight on - no pliers, no open links - and it works just as well on a bag, a zip pull, a keyring or a watch strap. Charm + Gold Bracelet or Charm + Silver Bracelet pairs it with our Gold or Silver Paperclip Chain Bracelet - fine-gauge stainless steel, adjustable from 16cm to 20cm. Bought as a set they cost 30% less than buying separately.
The Great Sphinx has a lion's body and a human head, and that combination is the whole idea: the strength of the animal governed by the judgement of a person. It has sat at Giza for roughly four and a half thousand years, facing due east into the sunrise, and was already ancient enough to need excavating from sand by the time of Tutankhamun. A gift for her who keeps her own counsel. More motif meanings at JewelMotif™ · Watch & read: Ancient Egypt: How Jewellery Became a Path to Eternity
No stones and no enamel, so nothing can work loose, and stainless steel does not tarnish, rust or turn skin green. The modelling round the sphinx and the stone courses will hold hand cream - rinse, dry, and use a soft dry brush across the face now and then. Full guidance at our Stainless Steel Care Card and the JewelCare™ hub.
FAQs
1. Is it a mummy or a sphinx?
A sphinx - the Great Sphinx of Giza, with the striped nemes headdress and the paws forward. The pyramid behind it is worked into the same casting.
2. Can the back be engraved?
No. The reverse carries the pyramid and a pharaoh's head in gold relief rather than a flat panel.
3. Are there any stones?
None. All metal and modelling.
4. It reacts slightly to a magnet - is that a problem?
No. Cast stainless steel normally contains a small amount of ferrite, deliberately, because it stops the metal cracking as it solidifies - that is what a magnet finds. Brass and copper are entirely non-magnetic, so a magnetic response actually rules them out. Full explanation in Is Magnetic Stainless Steel Jewellery Fake?.
5. Does it arrive gift-ready?
Yes - every order is packed to give. See JewelGift™.
How to Style the Pyramid and Sphinx
A triangle among circles and hearts reads as deliberate, so it works well as the odd shape in a stack. It is also a travel charm - the obvious piece to add after a trip. Hang it on a DuoTone™ or FortunaLink™ bracelet, browse the whole MiniCharm™ range, or start your stack at JewelBuild™.
