MentraxOro Jewellery has made history as the first Ghanaian brand to gift real gold to guests at a product unveiling, using its latest creation to spotlight tourism, arts, and culture.
The landmark event, held at the Accra International Conference Centre, welcomed over 150 guests, including leading Ghanaian personalities and dignitaries, who each received a real gold pendant during the unveiling of the highly anticipated Ghana Gold Pendant.
The star-studded gathering featured actor James Gardiner, Ghanaian-American comedian Michael Blackson, filmmaker Fred Nuamah, media personality KOD, and the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Tourism Authority, Maame Efua Houadjeto.
Together, they witnessed a cultural milestone that celebrated Ghana’s identity, craftsmanship, and rising global reputation.
In an unprecedented fusion of luxury and national pride, MentraxOro set a new standard for innovation and hospitality in Ghana’s jewellery and creative sectors.
A representative from the Ga Mantse Palace affirmed the cultural significance of the event, while popular broadcaster Serwaa Amihere served as MC, bringing elegance and vibrancy to the evening.
Crafted entirely in Ghana, the Ghana Gold Pendant is more than a luxury accessory. It is a powerful emblem of national unity, artistic excellence, and cultural pride.
As the first jewellery brand to create a gold piece specifically to promote tourism, MentraxOro has pioneered a bold new path in merging creative expression with national identity.
Under the theme “Experience Ghana: Gateway to Africa,” the initiative seeks to position Ghana as Africa’s top cultural and heritage tourism destination.
The pendant represents Ghana’s rich traditions, innovation, and resilience — now showcased on a global stage.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Victor Wellrich, Head of Marketing at Mentrax Refinery, emphasised the deeper meaning behind the launch.
“This is more than jewellery; it’s a celebration of Ghana’s heritage, creativity, and future. Through initiatives like this, we are telling the world that Ghana is not only rich in resources but rich in culture, unity, and artistry,” he said.
The evening also featured live music, cultural performances, artistic displays, and a symbolic recreation of the iconic Independence Arch — all echoing the vision of Ghana as the gateway to Africa.
By merging creativity, patriotism, and elegance, MentraxOro Jewellery’s unveiling of the Ghana Gold Pendant marks a luminous new chapter in the nation’s cultural journey and global influence.
