The Fordite

$1,500.00

Corvette Fordite Ring | 14K Gold | A Piece of Automotive History

This remarkable piece of Fordite, sourced from the Corvette factory in Bowling Green, KY, is a vibrant relic of automotive craftsmanship, set in 14K gold.

Also known as "Detroit Agate" or "Motor Agate," Fordite is not a naturally occurring gemstone but a byproduct of car manufacturing. From the 1920s to the 1980s, layers of excess car paint built up in factory painting bays, hardening over time through repeated baking cycles—sometimes as many as 100 times. This process not only cured the paint for durability but also formed the mesmerizing, striated patterns that make Fordite so unique.

A true collector's piece, this pendant is a fusion of industrial history and fine jewelry, celebrating innovation, artistry, and sustainability in a way that's as bold and dynamic as the cars that inspired it.
