Full description

These muted earrings feature long tear drops of fordite which has been bezel set in sterling silver. The fordite had a light grey base with fine rings in sparkly colours including red, blue, silver and black and they are a closely matched pair. The sterling silver safety hooks (also known as kidney wires) hold the earrings securely in your ears (so no more loosing one in your chunky winter scarf!) The earrings measure approx 46mm from the top of the hook to the bottom by 14mm across (just under 2 in by 1/2in). Comes gift boxed.

Fordite is the name given to many layers of cured car paint that builds up in old style spray booths at car factories. The paint gets baked hard inbetween each layer leading to a durable material that can be cut to show off the many colours. This particular material I bought from a guy who worked at Ford's Wayne Assembly plant and he had collected it from the production line in 2017/18 (they were doing C-max and Focus at that time). I cut this material myself and you can see the rough in some of the photos (not included) so if you love fordite but want something else making drop me a message. Fordite is becoming increasingly hard to source and thanks to more efficient painting processes less is being made so if you love your cars get some of the unique material whilst you can.
