Offering its original collections of hand-crafted jewelry and gems, art glass and other collectibles created by artists across the United States and Canada, Fire & Ice opened its second airport location on Concourse D at BWI in June 2011.  The original Fire & Ice unit opened in May 2005. 

"Travelers at BWI are discerning consumers that come from all over the nation and the world, and they have responded favorably to high-quality, attractive jewelry and specialty items that have helped Fire & Ice gain its well-deserved reputation for excellence," said Brett Kelly, Vice President of AIRMALL Maryland.  "The jeweler's original unit was a passenger favorite, and the latest addition to our concessions line-up is quickly becoming a destination as well.  At AIRMALL, we congratulate Fire & Ice on their recent recognition from DFNI."

"Over the past decade, Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport has raised the bar in terms of high-quality concessions, and this award for Fire & Ice is further evidence of how our program continues to achieve new heights," added Helen Tremont, Director of the Office of Commercial Management for the Maryland Aviation Administration. 

With a passion for the natural sciences and art glass, Fire & Ice seeks to preserve traditional techniques from all corners of the world, working to support cultures threatened by modern pressures to assimilate.  This drives the company to continue seeking out new examples of "Fascinating...Creative...Unique."  Since 1980, Fire & Ice has expanded to 12 locations reaching from Natick, Mass. to Tyson's Corner, Va.
