Bronze Through the Ages
Bronze is one of the most popular metal alloys we use for casting sculpture recognition awards.Bronze is also one of the most prolific metal alloys in the history of mankind – in fact, an entire span of civilization is referred to as the “Bronze Age.” Since it is such an important alloy in past and present sculptures (including our awards), it is interesting to understand the role it has played throughout the centuries.It is fascinating that this material, and the methodology for casting it, has changed very little over the last 6 millenniums, and this adds to the richness and personality of the bronze awards that we create.

Enhance Your Award Presentation with Explanatory Production Videos
One unique and impactful way to enhance the perceived value of your awards is to convey the process used to design and produce the awards. Printed materials can be effective for this; however, a video showing how they are created is probably the best way to capture the complex, multi-step production process that is conducted by a team of skilled designers and artisans.
The Differences Between Bronze and Pewter Awards
Both bronze and pewter are primarily composed of copper and tin. However, the ratio of these two components in each metal is different and this creates significant differences in the finals metals themselves. Bronze is primarily copper alloyed with small amount of tin, while pewter is primarily tin alloyed with a small amount of copper.

The Lost Wax Casting Process
Archeologists have uncovered bronze sculptures from Ancient Greece and Rome, the Shang Dynasty period in China, as well as from the Chola Dynasty in South India. Just about every major civilization in history created bronze sculptures at one point or another, using a process known as lost wax casting to create small and intricate pieces like jewelry and vases, all the way to life-size statues and replicas.
What Makes Bronze So Special?
When most people think of a bronze award they think of third place; gold for first, silver for second, and bronze for third, right? For the record, most of the world’s most famous golden awards aren’t actually made of solid gold. And bronze awards, especially custom-designed bronze awards, are actually a lot more special than their usual 3rd place spot makes them seem.
