We had the good fortune of connecting with Vintij Brat and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Vintij, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
The most important factor behind my business is my purpose!
Proverbs 19:21
21 Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.
From a very young age I knew I was different. I was called weird by my peers and rightfully so from the knowledge that they possessed, I never fit in. Always a little different, it took years for me to understand that being set apart is a gift and not a curse. In me being set apart I also learned that there was a calling on my life and God had placed purpose inside of me. He was in fact going to use me!
Though I was different there was something about me that drew others to me. I was a natural born leader. From setting trends and breaking rules to walking in my own truth. There was nothing that I could not accomplish being spirit lead, wonderfully and fearfully made.
My fashion sense and love of all things creative has existed for as far back as I can remember. So naturally God used what he had placed inside of me to both prosper my business, Prmxn and His kingdom. I remember at the age of eleven cutting pockets off of my sisters’ t-shirts and ironing appliques on their favorite jean shirts. I was a force and if God was for me who could be against me.
I didn’t know it then but God had already began using me. I have always been a trend setter and wore white all year round, lol. With my Avant Garde spirit and God’s blessings no one could stop me.
It is truly my purpose in God that drives me to think outside of the box, creating custom, peculiar and exclusive jewelry that embodies anyone courageous enough to exhibit it. These bold pieces help encourage and determine your mood, unleash your alter ego and captivate your spirit animal while enhancing your internal and external beauty.
My pieces are whole mood, they give you PRMXN (per.mis.sion / per’miSHen) to walk in your purpose!
Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I use one-of-kind jewelry to create mood-altering experiences for the PRMXN family. My jewelry is designed to catapult your spirit into euphoria through seeing yourself as God sees you. My PRMXN family customers are the real prize and the jewelry is merely the vessel. Each piece that leaves my shop is hand crafted, set apart and prayed over just like God’s children.
I love the way God uses me to draw others towards their own purpose. Often times I don’t even refer to my business as a business. It is in fact a ministry! Where jewelry elevates you and meets the desires of your heart.
This jewelry phenomenon has been a long time coming. Creativity has been my passion for forever. From drawing to poetry to cooking to jewelry. Each phase of life has been marked with raw and authentic creativity. It is a love that will never cease.
This journey has always been organic and somewhat easy for me. The biggest obstacles have been wavering faith, boredom and patience. Through my business God is teaching me to BE STILL. What a double portion to teach others and be taught all at the same time. God is good.
I have no idea how and where God will use me next but I am excited about the possibilities. Infinite and inspiring. Whatever it shall be am I ready and willing.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My Mother is literally an Angel in her own right. To know her is to love her. From the very beginning she has led by example and spoken life into me. I remember going for a job interview for a Assistant Controller position. Nervous and unsure I called my mom and she uttered nine words that gave me the strength and faith of a nation! “You can do anything you put your mind to.” That was always her approach when encouraging me. With God and a willing spirit, I was all set.
I’m grateful that even when she may not have totally believed I could do something she still pushed me. There is always success in your try! She has always been my loudest cheerleader and biggest fan. I would not be who I am today without her cheering me on.
I am forever indebted to her unending love, countless pep talks and the millions of times that she’d express how proud she was to have me as a daughter.
