Full description

This smaller freeform pendant features retro fordite bezel set in a smooth reversible sterling silver setting. The fordite has a muted colour palette with bands of dark red, mossy green, grey blue and white, theire is a little bit of antique gold in there as well for some sparkle. It has a simple loop bail which would fit a thin leather cord or ribbon instead of the sterling silver snake chain it comes with.This unisex pendant is ideal for any one who likes the unusual or things a bit retro and vintage. Pendant measures 33mm (inc bail) by 19mm and comes gift boxed.

Not come across fordite before? It is layer upon layer of cured car paint that built up in old spray booths at car plants - in this case Vauxhall's plant at Ellesmere Port on the Wirral. The colours are consistent with Vauxhall Vivas and Victors from around 1974 (flamenco red, sun glow, crystal green, blue fire and gold starfire according to the colour chart I found online) so this would make a great gift for someone who had a Vauxhall back in the day. Fordite of this age and location is rare and due to changes in how cars are painted fordite of all types is getting much harder to source especially the vintage material. I polish a lot of the fordite I use so if you want something different making drop me a message and I'll see if I can help you out.

Measures approx 33mm (inc bail) by 19mm. Comes gift boxed.
