Leadership

Our Adinkrahene bracelet features the Adinkrahene Akan Goldweight which represents leadership. Our goldweight is handcrafted in bronze and attached to a delicate chain made from 14k gold plated on 925 silver.

The Story Behind This Piece

In Akan society, gold was intimately associated with authority, royalty, and the sacred. Akan Goldweights are one of the most popular pieces of Akan art. Traditionally made of bronze, copper or brass and dipped in gold, they play a central part of West African jewelry, conveying traditional wisdom through ornaments.

The Adinkrahene goldweight represents charisma, leadership and greatness.

Material & Care

Our chain bracelet is made with high-quality 14k gold plating over 925 sterling silver, making this bracelet a durable, hypoallergenic piece of jewelry for everyday wear. Our Akan Goldweights are authentic pieces sourced in the Ivory Coast, they are made traditionally from bronze using the lost wax casting method.

Gold plating naturally tarnishes over time. Exposure to moisture, sweat, perfumes, lotions, and sulfur speeds this up. With gentle care, your pieces will keep their shine much longer.

  • Keep it dry. Remove your jewelry before showering, swimming, exercising, or washing your hands.
  • Put it on last. Apply perfume, lotion, and hairspray first, and let them dry before wearing your pieces.
  • Store it dry. Keep each piece separately in a dry place with the anti-tarnish strip included in your order.
  • Wipe after wearing. Every piece is treated with an anti-tarnish finish. A quick wipe with a soft, dry cloth removes oils and sweat before they cause tarnish.
  • Skip polishing cloths. Gold plating is too delicate for abrasive cloths. Only use a soft, non-abrasive cloth with very light pressure.
  • Avoid steam and ultrasonic cleaners. They can strip the plating.
