According to the Head of Marketing at MentraxOro Jewellery, Mr Victor Wellrich, the launch showcases the depth of Ghanaian craftsmanship and reflects the company’s broader mission to promote Ghanaian culture through innovative initiatives.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mr Wellrich appealed to tourists across the globe to make Ghana their preferred travel destination.

Proudly crafted in Ghana, the Ghana Gold Pendant is more than just a luxury item, it is a symbol of national pride, unity, and artistic excellence. As the first jewellery brand to design a gold piece specifically to promote tourism, MentraxOro Jewellery has pioneered a visionary approach to blending artistry with national identity.
Under the theme “Experience Ghana: Gateway to Africa,” the initiative aims to position Ghana as Africa’s premier cultural and heritage tourism destination. The gold pendant serves as a shining representation of Ghana’s rich traditions, creativity, and resilience, now showcased on a global platform.
