Full description
This classic pendant features an oval of stripey fordite, the bands run diagonally across the piece and there is an 'eye' of moody dark red and black. The fordite is smoothly bezel set in sterling silver and it is finished with a simple (and generously sized) loop bail, measures 34mm by 20mm (exc bail) and it comes with an 18 inch silver chain, the bail could easily fit a ribbon or thong if you wanted to swap it over. (The setting is open backed making it reversible but the front looks better.)
Fordite is layers of cured paint that built up in the spray booths at vehicle plants, the panels would be placed on rails to be sprayed and paint would build up on the rails getting cured after each coat. The guy I bought the rough material from worked at the Kenworth plant in Chillicothe USA. Kenworth make cabs for big 18 wheel trucks often with custom paint colours hence the range in this piece. Changes in how vehicles are painted mean that fordite is only formed in small quantites now and it is becoming increasingly difficult to source. I have a bit of a stock pile of rough fordite so if you would prefer something else drop me a message.
