Description: I hand cut this bead pendant PAIR as a set, using genuine Ford Focus Fordite. While they are intended to be a "His & Her" set of pendants representing and abstract Adam & Eve, they are light enough that they could be worn as earrings. Measurements in the title. Sterling silver bail, CHAIN NOT INCLUDED. This Fordite is accumulated paint overspray that was collected in 2018 from the Ford factory in Wayne, Michigan when they made the last run of the Ford Focus there. See my other listings for fordite from Jeep, Corvette, and Kenworth truck manufacture! I also have Fordite cabochons, beads, earrings, and polished face specimens in my other listings. Here in my web store you can also purchase chains to wear the pendants with. I've been cutting varieties of Fordite for over 40 years. I only work in material I am sure of its source. Contrary to what had been believed for many years about the unavailability of new rough due to manufacturing changes, there is SOME contemporary Fordite rough that is collected and made available to cutters in small quantities. I have a good stock of rough to work with. Compare my Fordite with others for sale on the internet! Much of it is fake and either "handmade" by just pouring pretty colors of paint together that are clearly not automotive paint colors of ANY era, or they're just striped resin beads made in China and not real Fordite. I grew up in a rock club in Michigan during the 1970's and rockhounds who worked in the auto industry would collect chunks of dried, layered car paint from the paint sheds at least as early as the late 1960's but it was never collected in large quantities. Fordite is built up overspray that has been baked repeatedly making it relatively hard and solid. It was sold at local rock and gem shows as "Fordite, Chryslerite, Buickite, Detroit Agate, etc." Fordite was by far the most common and popular name and today has come to be used for all built up industrial oversprays used in the jewelry trade. Ethical dealers will accurately identify the variety and source of Fordite if they know it.
