The Fordite Collection
Discover Fordite jewellery — one of the most unusual and visually striking materials used in modern jewellery. Created from layers of hardened automotive paint, Fordite is a fascinating by-product of the car industry, transformed into bold, colourful wearable art.
Often referred to as “motor agate”, Fordite forms when layers of paint build up in car factories and are baked repeatedly over time. These layers create incredible natural patterns and vivid colours, which are then cut and polished to reveal their unique structure.
Our Fordite jewellery showcases these striking patterns in a range of designs, from pendants and rings to cufflinks and earrings. Every piece is completely individual — no two patterns are ever the same.
At Jurassic Jewellery, each piece is carefully handcrafted and selected with over 20 years of experience working with rare and unusual materials. Every item is supplied with a signed Certificate of Authenticity, confirming the genuine origin of the Fordite.
A Material That Can No Longer Be Made
Fordite was originally created during the golden age of automotive manufacturing, when vehicles were hand-sprayed in multiple layers. Modern painting techniques no longer produce Fordite in the same way, making existing material increasingly rare.
This means each piece is not only unique — but part of a finite and disappearing material.
