One of the pieces in the show will be my “Fordite Time
Travel” Necklace! I was fooled by the name of “Detroit Agate”
and realized when this intriguing stone arrived in the mail that it was not a
stone at all! By further investigations
I found out that this was a beautifully “recycled” product made from old time
accumulation of enameled paint in the Ford factory over years and years that
was hardened enough by multiple baking to be cut into cabochons. I decided to make the best of it by making
this Ford 1959 motif with my new “stone” called Fordite or Detroit Agate! The head lights are single cut diamonds set
in 14K Rose Gold settings and the grille is a Sterling Silver mesh. The bail is
also free formed in 14K Rose gold.
