Let's take it back to the beginning, the origin of it all. The oval shape represents birth, fertility, rebirth and even immortality. The custom-crafted oversized oval links of the Origin Collar each hold it's own infinite possibility, and as a whole it is a classic piece you'll come back to for years and years. Each link is crafted one-by-one and assembled by hand to create the perfect go-to-always necklace. Styling tip: wear it as a streamlined chain with clasp to the back, or turn the toggle detail to the front to showcase as a centrepiece. All BIKO pieces are plated in 14k gold or rhodium, over brass. They do not tarnish or cause discoloration on the skin. All earring posts are surgical stainless steel, and hypoallergenic. 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. Wear your BIKO jewels often, and love them always. Made in: Canada
