Fordite Corvetteite Silver Ring Vette Ring Pick Your Size, ET162

This is corvetteite-fordite from the Bowling Green KY plant where they were painted circa early 2000's. This is widely considered by many artists to be THE premium fordite type. It cuts brightly colored rare and valuable stones. I love fordite for it's bright colors that get noticed, the shimmer it shows when the light plays across it, and it's unique history and formation. It's like the ultimate trash to treasure material. I've been working with it professionally now for about 8 years. I try to make a range of sizes in rings so hopefully you can find one that you love in your size. These rings are size 6 - 7 in half sizes. I cut the fordite stones in domed teardrops and set them in solid .925 sterling silver. I hand forged, formed and textured the outside of the ring bands and the bottoms of the settings in recycled sterling silver. The bands are comfort style with a flat exterior and they're about 3.3 mm wide. The settings are about 15 x 11 with a bit of variation between each. These make a great special gift or you can treat yourself. Please ensure you know your size. You can purchase inexpensive ring sizers online if you're unsure. Not only does that ensure a proper size you can know the size you wear on other fingers - because any finger can be a ring finger. ;) These ship well protected in our branded jewelry box ready for gifting. 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 paint.
