Quality starts with what a piece is made from. We select our materials for their feel, finish, durability and everyday wearability — so your jewellery doesn’t just look good when it’s new, but is made to be worn.
Our rings are crafted from tungsten carbide, an exceptionally hard and dense material known for its substantial weight and excellent scratch resistance.
Unlike softer precious metals, tungsten holds its shape and polished finish exceptionally well over time. Its natural weight also gives it the solid, substantial feel that makes it particularly suited to men’s rings.
• Exceptionally hard and scratch resistant
• Substantial, weighty feel
• Maintains its shape and finish
• Resistant to tarnishing and corrosion
• Made for everyday wear
Our chains and bracelets are crafted from high-grade stainless steel, chosen for its combination of durability, comfort and lasting appearance.
Stainless steel is naturally resistant to corrosion, tarnishing and everyday moisture, making it a practical choice for jewellery designed to be worn regularly. It is also lead-free and skin-friendly.
• Durable and hard-wearing
• Highly resistant to tarnishing and corrosion
• Water and moisture resistant
• Lead-free and skin-friendly
• Easy to care for
Our gold-coloured pieces are finished using PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) rather than conventional electroplating.
During the PVD process, an extremely thin layer of material is bonded to the surface under vacuum. This creates a finish with better adhesion and wear resistance than traditional plating, helping the colour withstand everyday wear for longer.
It gives us the rich look of gold while retaining the strength and practicality of the material underneath.
We believe premium jewellery shouldn’t need to spend its life in a box.
Our materials are chosen to create pieces that feel substantial, look refined and fit naturally into everyday life — whether you’re wearing them to work, out for dinner or every day in between.
Our jewellery is made to be worn and enjoyed, and we stand behind the quality of every AKOA piece.
All AKOA jewellery includes a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects, giving you extra peace of mind with your purchase.
If you believe there is a manufacturing fault with your piece, simply get in touch with us and we’ll assess it and help make it right.
The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, accidental damage, misuse, loss, or damage caused by improper care.
