Bico jewelry is unique in design, look and feel. It
was designed for both men and women. Chains and pendants range from
very feminine to very masculine with most going either way. The
tribal inspirations, which tell the story of each pendant, are
uplifting, fun, funky and ageless. Many are tribal Aboriginal, but
others are Celtic, Buddhist and traditional.
Just
who is BICO
anyway?
Once upon a
time (1995) in faraway Australia, in a kingdom known as Bondi Beach,
there lived two young designers. Inspired by the sun-kissed culture,
they shared a dream: to create unique jewelry that reflected their
urban outdoor lifestyle. Basing their creations on tribal designs,
they fashioned a line of jewelry so distinctive that the pair’s
work quickly became known throughout the land. The need for cool
fashion jewelry for guys and girls, who were inspired by the
sun-blessed lifestyle of Australia, grew rapidly with the creation of
unique sculptured three-dimensional designs. Each design is inspired
by images of freedom in urban youth and their tribal instincts. All
products are fashioned for the street with styles made for the individual.
Bico now
works closely with a highly talented team of craftsmen who are
located at Bico’s factory at Sydney’s Bondi Beach.
Bico’s high quality is assured with each piece undergoing
several hand polishing and hand finishing techniques, as well as
several quality control checks. Years later, Bico is a leader in the
unisex fashion jewelry industry, with their products being worn in
more than 30 countries worldwide! All pendants
and most metal elements are made of fine grade pewter. They are
plated with various layers of silver, brass, or copper then hand
finished. Finally, they are coated with a unique protective layer
which extends the life of the plating. BTS and BT pendants are hand
polished and not plated. Chains, with the exception of link chains,
are made of brass and then plated. Other materials used in Bico
jewelry include authentic Swarovski® crystals, fine leather hide,
PVC, rubber, carbon fiber, New Guinea rosewood and resin. In keeping
with its reputation for high quality product, Bico assures that these
materials are of the highest standard. Bico products are stamped with
the original Bico logo. It is a mark that guarantees quality and fine
craftsmanship. All Bico products are nickel free and manufactured to
the highest international standards. Ensure you are
buying a Bico – each product is branded with the unique Bico
stamp. IMITATIONS R NOT BICO - If it is not branded by Bico, it is

BICO
pendants and chains are silver plated. General sensible care must be
taken to ensure product longevity. BICO recommends gently wiping the
product with a damp cloth and drying with a soft cloth. Exposure to
colognes and aftershave, pool products, and excess sweat can affect
the coating and plating of your product. Pendants should be carefully
rinsed and dried if worn at the beach
