Carbon Fiber
Carbon is the most common chemical element found freely in nature. Plants
and most natural organisms consist of carbon, with graphite being on
of the softest know material forms of carbon, and diamond being one
of the hardest forms.
In the 1900s a new group of materials called composites appeared. Carbon
fiber is one of the latest reinforcement materials used in composites.
The combination of carbon and other elements produces an extremely light,
extremely strong compound called "carbon fiber", which consists
of microscopic fibers made up of the same compound wound tightly together
and then held there with a very strong adhesive.
This high-tech material is extremely lightweight, yet incredibly strong.
It provides optimum structural properties, which make it better than
most metals, and stronger and lighter than steel for many applications.
Carbon fiber can be found in many applications today, including the
Stealth bomber and Formula 1 race cars, and in construction.
Today, carbon fiber has been developed for use in the aeronautical and
space industry technologies, where stringent and sophisticated requirements
are inherent, such as the Stealth bomber, satellites, the Space Station,
rocket motor casings. It can also be found in everyday articles and
purposes where extraordinary high performance was needed, such as Formula
One race cars, sports equipment, boats etc. It also has application
in medicine, and is used in artificial human body parts.
Escapes Design is proud to feature designs made with this high tech,
ultra modern material. In addition to its superior strength and durability
properties, the spun carbon fiber material also has an attractive weave
pattern design.
Stainless Steel
In 1912, during World War I, English metallurgist Harry Brearly was
searching for an alloy that would prevent erosion and protect cannon
bores. He discovered that when chromium was added to low carbon steel,
the steel became resistant to staining.
The characteristics and benefits of stainless steel and many and diverse:
it has unique and exceptional corrosion resisting properties and allows
stainless steel to last for a long time; has high fire and heat resistance
which allow it to retain its strength at high temperatures; it requires
less maintenance, and is easy to clean, making it ideal in strict
hygiene controlled areas such as hospitals and kitchens.
Aesthetically, it is also very pleasing. It has a deep, medium to
dark gray color to it, and when polished, the surface has a mirror
like shine to it. This bright, easily maintained surface of stainless
steel provides a modern and attractive appearance in numerous applications.
Since the early 1900's, stainless steel, in one form or another, is
found in our daily lives, from aircraft engines during World War I,
to cutlery in the 1920's and construction in the 1930's. Such notable
buildings which incorporated the use of stainless steel were the Chrysler
Building in 1930, and the Empire State Building in 1931
The many unique characteristics of
stainless steel have been discovered by architects, engineers, artists,
designers, metal smiths, and jewelers all over the world. Its longevity,
light weight, strength, flexibility, easy maintenance, resistance to
staining, corrosion, tarnish and oxidization has made it the material
of choice for buildings, furniture, appliances, design, and, yes, accessories
and jewelry.
We at Escapes are proud to feature contemporary designs in this most
unique material, merging material and design in beautiful jewelry you
will be proud to wear for years to come.
Glass Jewelry - Murano - Venetian - Made
in Italy
Each glass jewelry item in our Glass Collection
is handmade in Italy and created with Murano and Venetian glass and
glass beads.
Where are they made:
Our beautiful glass items are made in Venice and Murano, Italy. Murano
is actually one of a group of islands located North West of the city
of Venice, Italy, which enjoys world wide fame and recognition for their
glass art. Today the island is home to about 5000 Muranese, half of
which work in the glass industry
Brief History:
The history of glass making in the area is believed to date back to
the 8th century. In 1291, the Venetian Republic ordered glass makers
to move their foundries to the island of Murano because the glassworks
represented a fire danger in Venice. Politically, this consolidation
favored the government by virtually isolating the very profitable glassmaking
community and allowing the government to better oversee and manage the
industry.
The industry was therefore concentrated in the island and glassmakers
there became the leading citizens. Their prestige came at a price however:
glassmakers were not permitted to leave the Republic, and heavy sentences
were laid on those revealing secrets. This was the government's means
of protecting the secrets and safeguarding the glass making techniques
held by this very profitable monopoly.
Today, Murano continues to be a center of glass making and exporting.
The style and artistry of their glass has maintained its value and their
masters maintain their reputations throughout the world.
Quality:
Each piece is handworked, or blown by a human working in the furnaces
in Murano.
Small bubbles that appear are a natural part of the glassblowing process.
They are not flaws, rather contribute to the uniqueness of a piece.
Because they are handmade and not machine made
there will appear slight variances, such as shape and size. No two items
will ever be exactly the same. That's why the item you order will not
appear exactly as pictured.
Glass Terms:
Lampwork
Lumè in Italian, it means that the beads were hand-worked over
a natural gas flame which generates enough heat to melt the glass.
Avventurina
A process accidentally discovered and developed for glass use in Murano
in the early 17th century. The avventurina (Avventuria in italian)
gives a swirling iridescent and glittering copper and gold effect to
the glass. The glass is crystallized from the melted mixture of transparent
colorless glass with cuprous oxide and iron and lead oxides. The result
is a shimmery, metallic look.
Gold and Silver Foil
Small squares of tissue thin 24kt gold foil and .925 sterling silver
foil are used. A final coat of clear or translucent glass is layered
over the gold and silver foil. Since the gold and silver are covered,
they will not peel or chip away.
So, we invite you to escape for a while into Escapes
Design, where we are sure you will find something fun, something special,
or something unique to express your own personal style or enhance a
