Our Principles

24K Pure • Radical Transparency • Store of Value • Craftsmanship
When gold is discovered in nature, it is found as 24K, pure and undiluted. Pure gold is a unique element that never tarnishes and maintains its radiance and luster forever. Hypoallergenic and antimicrobial, it is universally wearable. Menē jewelry is crafted from that very same gold; its color and density is instantly experienced by human touch and sight. Other jewelry branded as “fine” is diluted via a man-made chemical process known as “alloying” (< 24K). Alloys not only will tarnish, but also look and feel fundamentally different.

Starfish for a Surf Necklace 10/10
The starfish is exactly as pictured, substantial 999 Pt. I made it into a surf theme charm necklace for my son, and he LOVES it. If he ever gets Into a jam, he could use it as a form of emergency money to get shelter, food, or to get home. So it’s an insurance policy and a beautiful jewelry.

Feels like a real shell
The hole for stringing it feels larger and more loose on the bracelet than other charms I've gotten off of mene, but nothing worth complaining about, just a detail. It looks incredible, it looks and feels like a little shell you picked up off of the beach. Would recommend.

Nugget of truth
All my purchases have been listed weight or more. These went great with my Menē shark tooth pendent. Only issue is they tend to flip around since back is rounded and I think it might be a tad too heavy. Does not make me like less. Will get more of these in the future to add to my necklace.

A play of visuals
ts a statement of the fallacy of current policies. These unfair weights and measures embodied in gold. Very contradictory, very appealing.

I think I like this one the least of Mene's three original sea themed charms, but suffice to say, it's still deserves a five star rating!

I do love this charm. My only issue is that I wish the hole was through the length of the charm rather than the width. I just wish it didn’t always spin around to the smooth side.

Golden Cowry
I was so pleased when I received this little golden gem from Mene! Owning a representation of one of the oldest known forms of currency cast in pure 24k gold really appealed to me. The Cowry is wonderfully detailed & has a rich, buttery luster. I look forward to collecting more items from Mine
