Fordite Jewelry

Just one glance of this beautiful gemstone is enough to make you fall in love with them. The colorful gemstone that we are talking about is Fordite and at first look it resembles agate. But on closer inspection, a gemstone connoisseur will tell you that what you are holding isn’t agate but a manmade gemstone! The origin of Fordite is as interesting as its colorful patterns. Fordite jewelry used to be very popular during the early 1900s, though it is seeming a resurgence of sorts recently. Fordite is also known as Detroit Agate. 

What It Means and Where To Find It

As we mentioned Fordite is a man-made gemstone. It was actually accidentally created in automotive factories when automobiles used to be hand-painted. Workers would invariably drop the enamel on tracks and skids. Over time multiple colors and patterns would form on these tracks. Workers realized that when these layers of paint hardened over time and were further heated multiple times inside an oven, they became so heavy and thick that they acquired gemstone-like quality. Continuous heat on automobile paint also improved their shine further making them perfect for jewelry making. During the late 1800s and early 1900s when automobiles were hand-painted, Fordite women’s jewelry became very popular. 

Unfortunately since today this technique of hand-painting automobiles is no longer used as automated techniques have replaced them, Fordite is no longer created using this technique. However, jewelers are being able to replicate the procedure (without involving car making) to recreate Fordite and hence they are making a comeback to jewelry markets.
