Officially Licensed 'Black Panther' Jewelry Line Announced - Heroic Hollywood (blog)

As evident in the colorful posters, promotional photos and seen in motion in the film’s trailers, Marvel’s upcoming film Black Panther will have its characters showcasing some vibrant and stunning costumes and jewelry. It is only fitting for a kingdom such as Wakanda to have a regal fashion sense that is only fitting for not only one of Marvel’s most thriving and prominent fictional principalities but also for a king such as T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman).

Geeks of Color is reporting that Douriean Fletcher, a Los Angeles-based jewelry designer who served as the special costume jewelry designer for Black Panther will be releasing an officially licensed line of jewelry for the film. Fletcher was influenced by her travels around both South Africa and Tanzania where she sought out to learn about the women from those cultures and how their jewelry tell their story. The end result is wearable pieces of art that instill the wearer with a sense of power and pride just like T’Challa and his allies. The designer also mentions that she designed the costume worn by Okoye (Danai Gurira) in the recent trailer for Avengers: Infinity War which you can see below.

The bracelets, necklaces and earrings that Fletcher designed definitely feel right at home with the overall aesthetic and culture of Wakanda not only conveyed the upcoming film but also from the pages of the Black Panther comics. If jewelry doesn’t suit you then don’t worry, Fletcher has also designed a snapback cap that features a beautifully engraved Black Panther mask. You can check out the cap and jewelry below.

Fans can check out and pre-order the Wakandan jewelry through January 6 from Fletcher’s website here.

Black Panther will be released on February 16, 2018. The movie features a cast that includes Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa (Black Panther), Lupita Nyong’o as Nakia, Danai Gurira as Okoye, Martin Freeman as Everett K. Ross, Daniel Kaluuya as W’Kabi, Angela Bassett as Ramonda, Forest Whitaker as Zuri, Letitia Wright as Shuri, Florence Kasumba as Ayo, John Kani as T’Chaka, Sterling K. Brown as N’Jobu, Michael B.
