Beyonce: Robot Gloves
Friday, November 28, 2008
Beyonce Glove- What's with Beyonce's glove? Beyoncé has a robot-like glove that was created by longtime jeweler, New York-based Lorraine Schwartz. What made it so special is that it is made in titanium, the "king of metals" and a very rare metal at that. Titanium is also priceless. Just look at photo of Beyonce's glove and tell me what you think.
Here are facts on Beyonce’s titanium glove:
• Schwartz had her artisans working day and night on the piece, laboring 24 hours a day until it was complete.
• It fits literally like a glove. Beyoncé’s entire upper arm was cast in wax so that the titanium piece would wrap perfectly.
• It’s actually several pieces, including a ring, a glove and a separate component that covers the upper arm. It can be worn all together or separately.
• It looks heavier than it is. Titanium is about 45 percent lighter than steel.
• The glove was Beyoncé’s concept all the way.

Titanium is not priceless. Perhaps this specific piece of jewelry made out of titanium is priceless, but titanium itself is not priceless. It is bought and sold daily and used in a variety of products including hammers and pens. Not priceless.

Titanium isn't priceless or rare, it's a simple alloy of aluminium, steel and supporting agents and very much an everyday material these days.
