Built to last.
Worn with intent.
What it's made of. How it lives.
PVD Gold over Stainless Steel
Adinkra Charms are crafted in PVD gold over stainless steel — a process where gold bonds to the metal at a molecular level, not simply layered on the surface.
The result is a finish that resists tarnish, oxidation, and daily wear far beyond traditional gold plating.
This choice was intentional. Not to imitate fine jewelry — but to create something that lasts, without placing heritage behind a price barrier.
Wear it often. Handle it with intention.
- Remove before swimming, showering, or intense physical activity
- Avoid prolonged contact with perfumes, lotions, and harsh chemicals
- Store in its pouch or box when not in use
- Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth
With consistent care, your piece will maintain its finish for years.
Not untouched — but kept. Not preserved — but lived in.
Accessible. Without compromise.
We believe the African diaspora should not be priced out of their own heritage.
PVD gold over stainless steel allows us to create pieces that are durable, refined, and accessible — without compromising the integrity of what they represent.
