Team Jordandenè has been struggling to keep this awesome news quiet for weeks now. A little while back, we got to hang out at the coolest photo shoot ever: RockLove Jewelry for Marvel Studios’ Black Panther, modeled by our friend Robyn of Geek Girl Strong. Their modern take on a strong, fierce Wakandan warrior woman made for an awesome fitness-inspired photoshoot.
RockLove & Marvel officially released the collection on Tuesday. And it’s so full of T’Challa-inspired goodness, we had to share it with you all here, too.
The collection includes two sets of talon earrings and a matching necklace as shown above. The designs are a familiar nod to T’Challa’s vibranium suit, but subtle enough to go over the heads of any non-geeks. This makes them perfect for everyday wear.
That bracelet looks familiar, doesn’t it? Anyone paying enough attention to the trailers would have spotted these on the wrists of every Wakandan. Kimoyo beads are a huge part of Wakandan culture. They showcase technology arguably cooler and more advanced than any we’ve seen in the Marvel universe so far.
Marvel shared their top-secret photos of the original Kimoyo bead props with Alison Cimino of RockLove jewelry so she could recreate them for her collection. Fans can choose from two screen-accurate replicas for their very own piece of Wakandan tech.
If I had to pick a favorite part of this collection, it would be the two talon rings. One sits at the tip of the finger and the other armors down to the knuckle. While they are rounded at the tip, they still manage to look like deadly, razor-sharp cat claws that give off the ultimate “Don’t mess with me” vibe.
If you haven’t been following the hype (but why wouldn’t you be?), Marvel Studios’ Black Panther hits movie theaters on February 16th. You can shop RockLove’s collection on their website to hold you over in the meantime.
