Road Runner Rosie Fordite Ring
Fordite, Sterling Silver and 18kt Gold Handmade Ring by Inside My Locket Jewelry
Road Runner Rosie is indeed a treat for your finger! This piece of Corvette Fordite has lots of texture created by the air pockets when it was 'growing' alongside the assembly line rails in the Corvette factory. She has a ton of color and is paired with a Garnet from Mahenge Tanzania which is bezel set in 18kt gold. The split ring is a comfortable design to wear as the weather changes from cool to hot.
Road Runner Rosie while made from Corvette Fordite is named after the American Muscle car the Plymouth Road Runner.
Fordite is paint slag from the automotive industry, made available from the invention of the spray gun in 1930. Fordite was made in automotive plants for years, with most material coming from Michigan. In the late 1970's new methods of applying paint halted the amount of availble paint slag. This is indeed a rare material and a really cool part of history for car enthusiasts around the world! Between the Fordite and the sterling silver, this ring is made of 100% recycled materials.
A PERFECT fit if you normally wear a size 9.
