Fordite
Fordite (or "Detroit Agate") was taken in its raw form from the spray
booth at the Ford River Rouge plant in the late 1970s. Chunks of
layered automotive overspray were painstakingly removed from the walls
and conveyor, then cut and polished into gems. Patterns emerge from the
Fordite depending on the angle of the cut or depth of the polishing.
Since technology has replaced the spray booth, Fordite has become
increasingly rare and valuable. James Blanchard creates this unique
recycled jewelry by setting the gems into his contemporary designs.

Balance & Direction
To move the world you must first move yourself. Do it from a place of balance. Judi Patson strives to find the balance between playful and classic. She does this by finely crafting and designing beautiful signature pieces using everyday objects. Her designs include playful sterling silver necklaces, rings, and cufflinks featuring miniature levels one would use to hang a painting or shelf. Her compass pendant necklaces can come in handy too. |
