Vancouver 2010 Torch Replica

By Birks

This is not a souvenir – this is a piece of history, passed on to you. Birks, one of North America’s leading luxury brands, is proud to present the limited-edition Torch replica in a lovely box made of Canadian Alder wood and crafted in British Columbia. The torch can be showcased in the form-fitted presentation box or exhibited as a free-standing sculpture on a sleek metal base.

The 2010 Olympic Torch, designed and manufactured by Bombardier, will carry the Olympic flame across Canada on a 45,000 kilometer journey. Twelve thousand torch bearers will carry the torch as they move across 1,020 communities throughout Canada.

Canada’s open land, vast potential and smooth, fluid lines left in the snow from winter sport were the inspiration for the Torch design.
