Fordite Necklace, St. Paul Fordite, Minnesota Fordite, Chain Included, Fordite Jewelry, Fordite Pendant

This pendant is made from fordite that occurred at the St. Paul MN plant in around 2010 where rangers were made. The setting and included chain are all stainless steel making this worry free jewelry. This is a very rare fordite type consisting of thin bands of paint. I typically keep one piece available similar to this and another set in sterling silver. The fordite stone measures about 30 x 16 in mm. This will ship in a jewelry box ready for gifting. Pictured necklace holder/other props are not included. 

Please see our shop for many more fordite listings.

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.
