Mismatched fordite earrings

These unusual earrings feature deliberately mismatched drops of fordite which has been bezel set in sterling silver finished with simple silver hooks. One of the pieces of fordite has horizontal stripes, the other has vertical stripes, they were both cut from the same piece of rough so the colour palette is the same - white, red, shades of blue and yellow. Some of the layers are sparkly so catch the light. The earrings measure 43mm (from top of hook) by 18mm across, fordite is lightweight so comfortable to wear all day.

Not come across fordite before? It is layers of cured paint that builds up in spray booths at vehicle factories where the paint misses the car panel it is meant for. This over spray builds up getting baked in between each layer giving a hard material which can be cut and polished to show the colours. This material is from the Kenworth truck plant in Chillicothe, Ohio in 2018 (I bought it from a guy who works there) and you can see the rough in one of the photos (not included). Love the idea of fordite but want something else - drop me a message, I have more of the rough and since I cut and polish it myself I should be able to make what you want.

Measures 43mm (from top of hook) by 18mm across and comes in a gift box.
