Fordite Heart Pendant, $225

valentine's day gift guide heart pendant

This pendant, from Inside My Locket is as gorgeous as it is unique. Fordite – also known as Detroit Agate – is actually man made, formed from the layers of enamel spray paint once used to paint automobiles. While the paint colors would change for each new ‘run’ the rails the cars were on would not, which would cause the paint to layer and build up in the bays.

Eye-catching colors of these layers – sometimes 100 thick – would bake and harden and eventually be discarded. These discarded pieces have been reclaimed and we are able to turn them into stunning pieces of jewelry with vivid colors perfect for accessory design. 

Additional designs available:

Left: Waves of Blue Fordite Heart Pendant, $200

Anna, the owner, has additional pieces available. Feel free to contact her via the email on her website for more information. Also, 20% of sales benefit the Detroit charity, Garage Cultural.
