The statement piece of the season, the Galina Collar sits comfortably on the neck, exuding feelings of stillness and comfort. Galina is named after the Greek word meaning 'calm; windless'. Hand-cast from an array of beautiful pebbles that designer Corrine found at her grandmother's village beach in Bolati, Greece, and polished to perfection by hand. Galina is one very special and timeless piece you'll love for years to come. Made from 14k gold plating over brass, hypo-allergenic and hand-polished. For increased longevity, keep jewelry clean and dry using a soft cloth. Avoid wearing your jewelry in the shower or during exercise, and wear after applying perfume or hairspray. Protect your piece from rain and humidity. When not wearing, be sure to store inside a jewelry box or soft jewelry pouch, such as the pink branded BIKO pouch provided. All BIKO pieces are plated in 14k gold or rhodium, over brass. They do not tarnish or cause discolouration on the skin. All earring posts are surgical stainless steel, and hypo-allergenic. Wear your BIKO jewels often, and love them always.
