Fordite Keychains
Shop one-of-a-kind Fordite keychains handcrafted from genuine automotive paint collected from automobile manufacturing facilities. Also known as Detroit Agate, Fordite is created when layers of automotive paint overspray accumulate and harden on factory equipment, producing colorful patterns that can be cut and polished using traditional lapidary techniques.
Each Fordite keychain from DVHdesigns is individually shaped and polished to reveal its unique layers, colors, and patterns. Many pieces have documented provenance from specific automotive manufacturing sources, making them distinctive gifts for car enthusiasts, Fordite collectors, automotive history fans, and lovers of unusual American-made lapidary art.
I've been a professional lapidary artist since 1992 and cut my first piece of Fordite in Michigan in 1981. Every keychain shown here is individually photographed—you receive the exact piece pictured.
