Title: Ahi Mama Pendant
Description: This sterling silver pendant is a modern minimalist design featuring a very unique gemstone, completely man-made, called Fordite. Fordite is actually vintage auto paint! Read more about the history of this gemstone below. The sterling silver box chain glides through the sides of the pendant allowing the pendant to float in the center. The chain passes through a slider to allow the length of the chain to be adjustable. This versatility allows you to wear the necklace short or long, depending on your outfit. Each fordite gemstone is slightly different in color making your necklace unique. If you would like to email me to see the different color options prior to your purchase, please do so. Dimensions: Pendant length is 2" with a width of 1". History: Fordite, also known as Motor Agate or Detriot Agate, is a unique vintage enamel material with an interesting history. Years ago, big automotive factories hand spray-painted their production cars. The oversprayed paint built up, producing many colorful layers, would hardened repeatedly in the ovens as the car bodies went into to cure the paint. Eventually, the paint build-up on the equipment became a problem. Crafty individuals with an eye for art started showing up at auto factories offering to help remove the problem. ☺ Sadly, the techniques that produced this great material years ago, are no longer in practice. The Fordite “mines” are dry.
