We are a Black-owned, woman-owned house, founded by Grace Yeboah Ofori. Our collections are original TruFaceByGrace designs — pieces created under our own name that you will not find anywhere else.
The boutique sits in the Fullerton Road business park off Franconia-Springfield Parkway — an easy stop from I-95, the Beltway or the Fairfax County Parkway. It is a true retail floor, not a studio by appointment: walk in, try things on, take your time.
Why statement jewelry is worth buying in person
We sell online and we love it. But statement jewelry is the one category where a photograph consistently misleads — in both directions.
Scale does not photograph honestly
A cuff that looks enormous on a white background often sits perfectly on the arm. A necklace that looks manageable on screen can be a true shoulder piece. Customers regularly tell us a piece they hesitated over online was an instant yes once they held it.
Weight is the quality signal
Solid brass, cowrie shell and Ghanaian glass have a heft that thin plated costume jewelry does not. Pick up two pieces side by side and you will learn more about quality in ten seconds than any product description can tell you.
Gilded finishes change with the light
Our gilded and burnished pieces scatter light rather than mirroring it — they glow instead of glare. That is exactly what flat product photography cannot capture.
Pairing is easier on the floor
The 2:1:1 styling rule — one hero piece, one supporting piece, one area left bare — is far easier when you can hold three options against what you are actually wearing.
What you will find in the boutique, not online
Our website carries a large share of the collection, but the Springfield floor always holds more.
- One-off and sample piecesPrototypes and single-run TruFaceByGrace designs that never get a product listing because there is only one.
- Sale and clearanceIn-store markdowns that are not mirrored online.
- Apparel and capesAnkara pieces, capes, pant sets and dresses are far easier to buy when you can check the fit.
- The full colour rangeMany designs come in more colours than we photograph.
- Bags and clutches, in handOur Bahari Luxe Cowry Shell Clutch and the raffia bag collection are tactile pieces — the weave and weight decide the purchase.
Looking for something specific? Call (410) 917-8333 and we will set it aside for you.

African fashion and jewelry across the DMV
We would rather be useful than pretend we are the only option. The DMV has one of the strongest African retail communities in the country, and if you are building a collection it is worth knowing.
Virginia
Springfield and the surrounding Fairfax County area are home to several independent African clothing boutiques carrying custom and traditional garments.
Washington DC
Look around Anacostia, H Street NE and the U Street corridor for galleries, boutiques and markets with contemporary African clothing, art and gifts.
Maryland
Prince George's County and Silver Spring offer a strong mix of African ready-to-wear, Ankara fabric and accessories.
What sets us apart is specific: we are a jewelry-first house. Most African fashion retailers in the region lead with fabric and garments and treat accessories as an afterthought. Our collection runs deep in brass, cowrie shell, Ghanaian glass, horn, bone and raffia, built around original TruFaceByGrace designs.
Pop-ups, markets and events
If Springfield is a stretch, you may be able to find us closer to home. We regularly appear at cultural festivals, conferences, vendor markets and pop-ups across the DMV and beyond, and we have shown at the Smithsonian's Future of Fashion runway and the GUBA Awards in Barbados.
See Upcoming Events & Pop-Ups for the current calendar, or follow @trufacebygrace on Instagram, where store days and event locations are announced first.
Our jewelry has appeared on the cover of ESSENCE's 55th Anniversary issue with Susan L. Taylor, on Janet Jackson's Made for Now set, and at New York Fashion Week 2026. That matters less than the everyday version of it: teachers, nurses, pastors, executives and students from across Northern Virginia walking in, trying something on, and walking out feeling seen.
That is the real point of the store.
