What is Fordite?
Fordite, also know as Detroit Agate, is a material made up of layers of automotive paint. During the assembly process, cars would be hand sprayed then baked. This paint would buildup on the racks that carried the cars and had to be chipped off every so often. Automotive workers realized the beauty of the material and began making jewelry, and that's how Fordite was born. Fordite is a rare material as vehicles are not painted in the same way they used to be.
All pins are made on stainless one piece hardware and will only work with functioning lapel holes.
