This pendant is made of Fordite and hand-wrapped in 12 gauge sterling silver wire.
Fordite, also known as Detroit Agate or Motor City Agate, refers to polished pieces of hardened automotive paint accumulated in car factories. It formed from layers of enamel paint that built up on skids and tracks during the painting process, repeatedly baked and cured. Now upcycled into jewelry, Fordite showcases vibrant, layered patterns reflecting the history of American car manufacturing, especially the changing paint styles and the decline of Ford’s Detroit factories. Though not a true mineral, it carries cultural and historical significance.
