The Biglink necklace was inspired by Veronika Fabian’s artistic journey towards the field of jewellery. Her intention was to allow the chain to escape, and to reinterpret its expected purpose.
The original assumption regarding traditional chains is that they are subservient to the main jewel. In this piece Fabian transformed ordinary chainlinks, enabling them to achieve jewellery status on their own. The work symbolises the process of changing identity and represents how the chain starts to form its own pattern. This allows the chain to assume a new identity, and encourages awareness of its potential in jewellery.

This piece was acquired thanks to the generousity of an anonymous donor.
