Full description

These vibrant cufflinks feature round cabochons of vintage fordite from the Dodge factory which is bezel set in sterling silver and finished with easy to use sterling silver swivel backs. The face of these cufflinks is large at approx 21mm dia but they have a low profile of 3mm and are lightweight so they won't be heavy on the cuff. The fordite has an eye catching pattern of concentric circles in red, white, yellow and blue (some are sparkly), it has been suggested that they look like slightly blood shot eyes so the prefect gift for an optician who loves old muscle cars perhaps?

What's fordite. It's the name given to paint build up that forms in spray booths at car plants, with each car a new layer of paint is added getting cured after each one. The build up gets removed (often with a hammer) when its in the way and lapidarists discovered that it could be cut and polished to show off the multitude of colours. I have matched the colours in this material to Dodge paint charts from 1970 (thank you to the collectors club who put the charts on online). I cut and polish this material myself and have quite a stash of rough from a range of years and factories so if you like the idea of fordite but these aren't quite right drop me a message I might be able to help.

Measures approx 21mm dia by 3mm with standard sterling silver swivel backs. Comes gift boxed.
