Fordite

When I learned about the existence of Fordite a few years ago I kind of went into a tailspin. In the automotive factories, on the floors where they paint the cars, the paint layers and forms a hard surface. Some enterprising person at some point realized that chiseling it off allowed for it to be formed into jewelry, pens, the handle to a pen knife....many things actually.

These are the pieces we have chosen to utilize this quirky colorful material.

Fordite Jewelry With a Previous Life

Fordite began on factory floors, where layers of automotive paint accumulated, hardened, and eventually became far too interesting to leave there. Cut through the surface and the history appears in stripes, swirls, and colors that could not be planned twice. Marla Aaron Fordite jewelry puts that accidental material to work across Locks, discs, rings, bracelets, and charms, each piece carrying a different cross-section of its former life. Build a Fordite necklace by attaching a Fordite Lock or piece from the Charms collection to one of our Chains, or let the material take up residence elsewhere. The Rings and Bracelets collections provide other useful assignments. Because no two cuts reveal quite the same pattern, Fordite resists matching too neatly, which is part of the appeal. For more experiments involving materials fitted precisely into working jewelry, the Inlay Series continues the investigation. Something industrial became something personal. We see no reason to question the career change.
