Power

Our Ohene Adwa pendant necklace means “The King’s stool” in Akan language, representing power and authority. Inspired by the Ohene Adwa Adinkra symbol this piece is handcrafted from 14k gold plated on 925 silver.

The Story Behind This Piece

The Ohene Adwa Adinkra symbol is visually represented by a stool which is considered to be a throne. For the Akan people, the stool represents more than a seat, it is a symbol of rulership, respect and responsibilities tied to leadership. The one sitting on the stool is considered to have great power and leads over the community.

To this day this symbol is emblematic of African art. You’ve probably spotted it in movies such as Wakanda and the Women’s King.

Material & Care

Our chain and pendant are made with high-quality 14k gold plating over 925 sterling silver, making this necklace a durable, hypoallergenic piece of jewelry for everyday wear.

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.
