This fordite necklace is a unique piece where I used blue resin to add an element of color just below the eye feature where there was a natural void. The stone is a free form which is primarily square shaped. I flared the edges slightly in the middle of each side and ground them flush at the corners for a more unique look. The eye in this piece is really cool and to me looks like it's floating over the water. You can really see the colorful layering in this piece of fordite. It's modern fordite from Ohio that occurred while painting parts for semi trucks. The setting is solid silver 925 sterling and 999 fine silver. The pendant measures about 26 x 21 mm. The included solid silver chain is 20 mm in length. 

Fordite is recycled automotive paint sourced from automotive factories as well as manufacturers who paint parts for new vehicles. 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 and 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 can take hundreds of layers of paint to make a one inch thick piece of fordite. The original fordite came from Detroit and since then it’s also synonymously known as Detroit Agate. There is very little fordite that is truly vintage. Most that’s available is modern i.e. current or within the past 15 years. We prefer modern fordite as it’s water rather than lead based paint. There are many different fordite types and some are more valuable than others. You’ll find in our fordite listings we refer to the plant location that the fordite originated from rather than listing specific auto manufacturers or vehicles.You can easily google the plant location and get a list of vehicles painted there. We love to talk fordite so if you are looking for a specific type or color odds are we have it so please send us a message. All of our fordite is authentic.
