What is Fordite?
Fordite, also known as Detroit agate or Motor City agate, is old car paint which was formed from the buildup of layers of enamel paint from when cars were hand spray-painted (a now automated process), which have been baked numerous times.
Made from years and years of build-up, this paint has now hardened sufficiently to be cut and polished. Lapidarists slice them up into pieces and shape them so that all the layers of colour can be seen. Jewellery makers then buy these smaller pieces to incorporate them into one-off pieces of jewellery for you!
