Jeep Fordite Carved Butterfly Wings
Total weight for both is 4 grams
22mm x 49mm x 4mm each
Made by my beautiful and talented wife. This is Jeep Fordite that she has carved two unique butterfly wings out of. Perfect matching pair of cabochons waiting for you to set them in your favorite setting. Great for a brooch or pendant. Also great for collecting!
Fordite, also known as Motor Agate, is a unique automotive enamel material with an interesting history. The original layered automotive paint slag “rough” was made incidentally, years ago, by the now extinct practice of hand spray-painting multiples buying of production cars in big automotive factories.
The oversprayed paint in the painting bays gradually built up on the tracks and skids that the car frames were painted on. Over time, many colorful layers built up there. These layers were hardened repeatedly in the ovens that the car bodies went into to cure the paint. Some of these deeper layers were even baked 100 times.
Please look at pictures closely and blow them up to see the details of these magnificent fordite cabs.
