DVH Genuine Corvette Fordite Earrings Sterling French Wires 22x18x4mm (6534)

I hand cut this one of a kind pair of earrings out of genuine Corvette Fordite. Measurements in the title.  Sterling silver findings. This Fordite is contemporary accumulated paint overspray from the factory in Bowling Green, KY where they make the Vette.   I also have Fordite beads, cabochons, earrings, and polished face specimens in my other listings.  I have material from Ford, Jeep, Corvette, MOPAR, Freightliner, and Kenworth trucks facilities! 

I have over four decades experience crafting unique Fordite pieces. Contrary to the long-held belief that new Fordite rough is scarce due to shifts in manufacturing practices, there is indeed SOME contemporary rough available to lapidary enthusiasts like myself. My collection of this rough is sourced from a very few select, reputable, dealers who I know and trust, guaranteeing its authenticity and provenance. When considering Fordite, it's essential to distinguish genuine pieces from imitations flooding the market. Many claim to offer Fordite but often present nothing more than hastily blended paints or resin beads with no connection to authentic automotive history. I stand by the authenticity of my work.

My journey with Fordite dates back to the 1970s when I was actively involved in our local rock club in Michigan. Back then, dedicated rockhounds employed in the auto industry would salvage chunks of dried, layered car paint from factory painting booths, a practice dating back to the late 1960s. This overspray paint, subjected to repeated baking in curing ovens, gained remarkable hardness and solidity. It was affectionately known then by various names such as "Fordite, Chryslerite, Buickite, Detroit Agate," but over the years Fordite has become the most widely recognized and cherished term. Today, Fordite has evolved beyond its novelty origins to become a sought-after faux gemstone. Explore my collection and discover the rich history and unique beauty of genuine Fordite.

I welcome you to also discover the captivating metaphysical properties of Fordite - renowned for its creative essence and expression.
