Fordite Necklaces Choose Your Color Option

This listing allows you to choose a color scheme in the fordite necklaces available. See the pictures for the pendants in the colors available in this listing. View the color options (1-7) by looking at the pictures and purchase the option of your choice. We will send ONE of the pendants pictured from the color option you pick per each quantity of 1 you purchase. The pieces in each option are  similar having been cut from the same batch of rough fordite. You'll get one from the option you select but this is not a select the specific pendant listing. If you prefer to choose an exact piece see our website for hundreds more handmade fordite pieces. These pendants are all roughly the same size and shape with small variations between them. The chains and bails that hold the stones are worry free stainless steel that won't turn or tarnish. The pendants are about 1.2 in height by .63 width in inches with a bit of variation between each. Overall thickness can vary from one to another. This is modern fordite which is water based paint. Option 1 is Michicgan sourced fordite from a plant that paints bumpers grills and wheel flairs. Option 7 is from Chillecothe Ohio and formed as a result of painting parts for big rig freight liners. The remaining color options are from the Parkway Toledo Ohio plant. When this listing gets low in stock I update it with new color options.  

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.
