Sienna

Description

Name : SIENNA

Type : Pendant

This large pendant features a striking Detroit Fordite piece that is bound to make heads turn. Whilst the dominant color is reddish brown (hence, its name), this piece has many pools of sweet bi-colors (glittery grapefruit and flesh colors) with very nice color gradation. Lots of bull’s eyes present, with accompanying colors of dark blue, vintage silver and white. This is indeed a very striking piece.

Here’s a short explanation of what Fordite is. It is vintage recycled material, baked automobile paint slag, to be precise. Fordite was really unintentionally produced. It was in fact, waste from the production of automobiles. Before computers took over the production of automobiles, this industry was intensely manual labor. Automobiles then, were spray-painted and pushed into the oven to cure manually. This resulted in a lot of paint wastage which when baked, hardened on the tracks and hindered the process. They were manually broken off,  removed and discarded. One worker at a Ford motor plant in the US saw the beautiful psychedelic patterns in these blocks of paint slag, collected them and sold them. Soon after, people were seen wearing pieces of these paint slag as modern jewelry and interest in them began to grow. Since they originated from Ford motor plants, they were known as “Fordite”.

This Fordite piece is striking enough and it doesn’t really need any elaborate silverwork at all. It is encased in sterling silver (including the bail). The entire silver frame and bail is handmade from a scratch. There is some design in the silver case but it does not take your view away from the center of attraction, the Fordite piece.
