Fordite Earring, Bright Red Fordite, Stainless Steel, EB71

This listing is for a pair of bright red and white fordite earrings. These are in top domed teardrops with flat backs. the ear wires are surgical steel. My wife is sensitive to certain metals and she can wear these ear wires. The fordite stones measure about 22 x 12 in mm. This fordite occurred as a result of painting parts for freight liners big rigs in Chillecothe Ohio. See picture with a nickel for scale.  Picture props not included.

Fordite is recycled automotive paint sourced primarily from automotive factories. It forms in thin layers as car parts are painted on the racks that hold them in place. After hundreds of trips through the booth where the paint is sprayed then baked the excess buildup is scraped off the racks. We buy this waste paint in rough chunks and recycle it into beautiful jewelry. It?s said it takes almost a thousand layers of paint to make a one inch thick piece of fordite. The original fordite came from Ford Motors in Detroit hence the name Ford-ite. Fordite from prior to 1978 can contain lead. All of our fordite is either current or from the early 2000?s so it?s not lead based.
