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 track 24 or special delivery 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.
USA customers - I will be shipping using Royal Mail/ USPS so I can pre pay your tariff charges which I have included in the shipping costs.

Full description

These elongated drop earrings feature fordite which has been bezel set in sterling silver and finished with simple silver hooks. The fordite is predominately white with yellow and red swirls with a little silver and royal blue, the fordite still has a little texture from the original dimpled surface of the 'rough' (its not actually rough, I've polished out all the rough edges). They measure 53mm (from top of hook) by 15mm across, fordite is lightweight so comfortable to wear all day.

Not come across fordite before? It is layers of cured paint that builds up in spray booths at vehicle factories where the paint misses the panel it is meant for. This over spray builds up getting baked in between each layer giving a hard material which can be cut and polished to show the colours. This material is from the Kenworth truck plant in Chillicothe, Ohio (I bought the rough from a guy who works there before cutting and polishing it myself). Love the idea of fordite but want something else - drop me a message, I have quite a stash of rough from a range of factories and eras I should be able to make what you want.

Measures 53mm (from top of hook) by 15mm across and comes in a gift box.
