I am guessing that very few of you will be familiar with Fordite.
Fordite is a beautiful substance, but neither natural nor old.
It is actually built-up paint residue from the paint-shops at Ford car plants.
It really is the most beautiful substance, and when cut and polished it reveals the coloured layers of paint that have built up on the floors and walls of the paint shop.
I must point out that this really is a rare and sought after substance
I bought a supply a while back , and since then the supplies have almost totally dried up.
As cars are painted in a different way nowadays there will never be any Fordite once current supplies run out.
That really WILL be it!
The earrings feature two drop shaped cabochons of beautifully coloured US Fordite - set in custom made solid silver setting.
The Fordite sections each measure 1.5cm from top to bottom and hang from sterling silver earwires - and sent in a lovely black, velvet lined jewellery box.
You will also receive a lovely signed certificate of authenticity - complete with unique holographic serial number
UNIQUE AND RARE!
