How Can I Order Diamond Jewelry Without Unexpected Additional Taxes in Greece?

When purchasing diamond jewelry online, particularly from an international retailer, the price displayed on the website may not always represent the final amount you will pay.

Depending on where the jewelry is shipped from, VAT, customs procedures, import charges or clearance fees may apply when the item enters Greece.

For this reason, when comparing diamond jewelry internationally, it is important to consider the final delivered cost in Greece, rather than simply comparing the advertised price.

What Happens When I Buy Jewelry from Outside the European Union?

If you order a diamond, engagement ring or another piece of jewelry from a country outside the European Union, the shipment is considered an import into the EU.

This means that customs procedures and the applicable taxes and import charges may apply.

As a result, a piece of jewelry that initially appears less expensive on an international website may ultimately cost considerably more once it arrives in Greece.

What Happens When I Buy from a Greek Company?

When purchasing your jewelry from a business in Greece, the transaction is considerably more straightforward.

You can know the applicable price and VAT from the beginning, without personally importing the finished piece of jewelry from a non-EU country.

This can be particularly important when purchasing high-value jewelry such as an engagement ring, solitaire diamond ring or a piece featuring a significant natural diamond.

Buying Diamonds and Fine Jewelry from Anweva

At Anweva in Athens, you can select your diamond and jewelry with a clear understanding of the cost of your purchase.

We specialize in natural and laboratory-grown diamonds and can guide you in selecting the appropriate stone according to:

• Carat

• Shape

• Color

• Clarity

• Cut

• Certification

• Budget

For natural diamonds, internationally recognized grading options such as GIA are available, while certified options are also available for laboratory-grown diamonds.

Can I Purchase the Diamond Separately?

Yes.

At Anweva, you can select an individual certified diamond or use it as the starting point for a completely finished piece of fine jewelry.

Once the diamond has been selected, we can design and create a piece specifically around it in our Athens jewelry workshop.

The complete process can therefore be managed through Anweva:

Diamond Selection → Design → Craftsmanship → Finished Jewelry

Why Should I Compare the Final Price Rather Than the Online Price?

When comparing diamonds or jewelry from different countries, always compare the final delivered price.

A lower advertised price from a retailer outside the EU does not necessarily mean a lower final cost.

Before purchasing, check:

• Whether VAT is included

• Where the product is actually shipped from

• Whether customs procedures apply

• Whether customs clearance or delivery charges may be added

• Who is responsible for shipment insurance

• Which grading report accompanies the diamond

  
  

How Can I Buy Diamond Jewelry Without Unexpected Additional Charges?

The most transparent approach is to confirm the final amount payable for delivery in Greece, including all applicable taxes and charges, before placing your order.

At Anweva, our objective is to make the purchasing process transparent from the beginning.

From selecting a certified diamond to creating a bespoke piece in our Athens workshop, you know what you are purchasing and the cost associated with your selection.
