Your Exclusive CirculAIRity Jewellery

CirculAIRity is shaping the future of aviation, much like the symbolic Bristol-built Concorde did, with a legacy that is fit for the future. Concorde became iconic of pushing boundaries; CirculAIRity, also from Bristol, is inspired to continue that legacy with the support of the right partners.

Concorde, the supersonic aircraft developed in the 1960s by Sud Aviation and the British Aircraft Corporation made its first flight in 1969. It could maintain speeds of up to Mach 2.04 (twice the speed of sound) at 60,000 feet. A total of 20 Concordes were built: 6 for testing and 14 for commercial use, with Air France and British Airways each receiving seven.

With its sleek, bullet-shaped fuselage and cutting-edge delta wings, Concorde could break the sound barrier thanks to its four powerful Rolls- Royce/Snecma Olympus 593 Mk 610 turbojet engines. It also pioneered analogue fly-by-wire controls, a first in commercial aviation. The extraordinary speed made it possible for Concorde to complete a London-to-New York flight in just three hours; faster than the Earth’s rotation.

The last Concorde produced, G-BOAF, returned to its birthplace at Filton Airfield, Bristol, on 26 November 2003, marking the end of Concorde's flying era. The CirculAIRity team is proudly pictured in front of this aircraft.

CirculAIRity's exclusive jewellery features a material called Hiduminium-RR.58, a high-strength aluminium alloy, originally developed by High Duty Alloys Ltd. It is composed of 93.5% aluminium, 2.5% copper, 1.5% magnesium, 1.2% nickel, 1% iron, 0.2% silicon, and 0.1% titanium, Hiduminium was originally crafted for use in jet engine compressor blades. The skin Hiduminium, clad with an additional 1% zirconium content, met the critical creep-resistant requirements of the aircraft's design allowing it to endure temperatures of up to 150°C at speeds of 1,350 mph, and ensuring a flight lifespan of 20,000 to 30,000 hours.

The Hiduminium Concorde skin cuts used in CirculAIRity’s exclusive jewellery are set in sterling silver and comes from (E/13/A/14) originally owned by British Airways. Such is the scarcity of this material, the majority of Hiduminium in existence globally (particularly with traceable authenticity) can only be found in Concorde museum aircraft.

While many view the end of Concorde as a ‘step backward’ for aviation, its true legacy lies in the enormous advancements it brought to the industry. We hope that you are also inspired and are interested in collaboratively shaping the future story for the aviation sector.
