I am happy to wrap and send gifts direct to recipients with a note - just specify their delivery address when you check out (I use either special delivery or track 24 so you can follow it round the country to the recipient). I cut and polish my own fordite, surfite and bowlerite, I'm happy to take commissions. If I don't have shipping to your country set up please drop me a message as it might be possible.

Full description
These drop earrings feature kite shaped pieces of fordite bezel set in sterling silver and finished off with sterling silver hooks. The fordite has fine curving stripes of colour arcing across it in shades of yellow, grey, beige, white and blue fading from yellow at the top to the blues at the bottom. The kites are a mirror matched pair so the bands arc in opposite directions (I was very pleased with myself when I managed that as I cut the fordite myself and it's rare to get such a well matched pair). Measure 48mm by 19mm including the hooks. Comes gift boxed.
If you've not come across fordite before its the name given to a cured build up of over spray paint from spray booths at car factories. As each vehicle is painted a new layer is added being baked hard in the curing ovens each time, this build up can be cut and polished to show the many layers and colours within. This particular material I believe to have come from Ford's Dagenham plant in the 1970's, probably when they were making transit vans as I've been told the material contains BT yellow, TNT orange and British gas blue. As painting technology has improved less fordite is being formed and it is becoming increasingly difficult to source, especially vintage material like this.
Measure 48mm by 19mm including the hooks. Comes gift boxed.
