Fabulous geometric sterling silver ring with a gorgeous Fordite bead! This ring features a flat U-shaped band with a circle inset for comfort. The spinning mechanism atop the ring allows you to see all sides of the colorful one-of-a-kind bead and is attached to the band with pegs of brilliant blue bezel set Lapis Lazuli. Created by artist Shoaleh Mansour.
What is Fordite? Also known as Detroit agate, Fordite is old automotive enamel–formed by the buildup of layers of paint on racks that held auto bodies for spray painting–that has hardened sufficiently to be cut and polished. This industrial waste product has been reclaimed and upcycled into “stones” for jewelry makers!
