Full description

These striking earrings feature rounded oblongs of fordite which has been bezel set in sterling silver and then finished with simple silver hooks. The fordite has wobbly rings in sparkly colours including silver, pewter and white with an egg yolk yellow streak in the middle. The patterns almost match. The earrings measure approx 59mm from the top of the hook to the bottom by 13mm across, fordite is much lighter than stones so even those these earrings are large they are lightweight and comfortable to wear. Comes gift boxed.

Fordite is the name given to many layers of cured car paint that builds up in old style 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 2015 (the sparkly yellow is called 'Tangerine Scream' and was unique to Focus models at the time). 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. Fordite is becoming increasingly hard to source and thanks to more efficient painting processes less is being made so if you love your cars get some of the unique material whilst you can.
