Description

These super sparkly earrings feature elongated triangles of fordite which have been bezel set in sterling silver and finished off with simple sterling silver hooks. The fordite has a pattern of concentric rings in ingot silver, white gold and black with red and candy blue in the center, the patterns almost match. If you are thinking that's a weirdly specific name to give the colours have a read of the note below about what fordite is! The earrings measure approx 55mm from the top of the hook to the bottom by 13mm across and are finished with simple hooks (sterling silver). Comes gift boxed. Fordite is the name given to many layers of cured car paint that builds up in spray booths at car factories. The paint gets baked hard in between 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 circa 2017 when they were making C-max and Focus, I have double checked the colours against the official production colour charts hence the specific names. I cut this material myself so if you love fordite but want something else making drop me a message, I have quite a stash of rough from various eras and manufacturers.
