About Akana

Founded in 2017, Akana is a jewellery brand inspired by a passion for art, cultural heritage, and meaningful connection. Each piece is designed and handcrafted in Portugal, combining elegant, contemporary design with the integrity of artisanal tradition to create accessories that are both timeless and expressive.

Every Akana jewel is crafted with meticulous care, utilising a unique multi-strand threading technique that brings strength, flexibility, and a flawless finish. The brand selects only the finest natural gemstones, Murano glass, ceramics, and uses steel closures plated with five layers of 22K gold, ensuring exceptional durability and lasting beauty.

Cultural Heritage & Social Impact: Akana deeply values craftsmanship and community. Many collections incorporate details created in partnership with skilled artisans from Colombia and Ecuador, honouring traditional techniques and supporting social projects that empower local communities.
