Description

These sparkly stud earrings have eye catching rounds of fordite which has been bezel set in sterling silver and finished off with sterling silver posts and scrolls.The fordite has stripes of black, navy, dark grey and silver, most of which are sparkly and catch the light. They are not a matching pair but were cut from the same piece of rough material so make sense as a pair. They measure about 12mm diameter and are lightweight. Comes in a gift box. Fordite is the name given to many layers of cured paint that builds up in spray booths at vehicle 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. I bought the rough this was cut from direct from a guy who worked at Ford's Wayne Assembly plant and this was formed when they were making Cmax and Focus cars between 2014-2018 (I could get nerdy about the triple layer paint system they were using being the reason for getting thicker stripes of colour compared to the grey primer but i think you're loosing interest so well done for reading this far). They measure about 12mm diameter.
