Like your favorite muscle car, you're bound to be drawn to these rings built utilizing real Fordite, paint layers chipped off the framework of classic paint booths ranging from Chrysler, to Ford and even some from the Kenworth semi-truck factory.

WHAT IS FORDITE?

Fordite, also known as “Detroit Agate” or “Motor City Agate” and more, is literally a man-made “gem”. During the early years of production of the Automobile, workers would hand paint vehicles on a track with compressed-air powered sprayers. The overspray from this process would get on the rails of the track, and would go through the ovens that baked and cured the paint. Over time, this overspray would accumulate on the tracks and disrupt production. 

Workers would knock off and chisel away the hardened paint from the racks, and then throw away what was considered to be garbage slag. However, a few workers would take the time to split these rocks apart and polish them up into beautiful layered “Gems”. Once word had gotten around of this unique material, many began to buy these rocks from the manufacturers. It would quickly find use in many different fashionable applications. 

Companies eventually moved away from the spray technique of applying paint to cars, and now rely on an electrostatic method that leaves little to no waste behind, meaning the supply of this material is now fairly limited and very valuable.

FORDITE IS ALWAYS DIFFERENT

No piece of fordite is ever quite the same! Thanks to the layered curing process, it means that each cut of fordite has its own pattern and look. One fordite ring may look wildly different from another, and that’s a big part of what makes this material so attractive. Each ring is a unique piece of automotive history. Take a look for yourself with our collection of Lead-Free Fordite Rings Here!

HOW TO CARE FOR A FORDITE RING.

Fordite, while fairly durable, is still at its core just layers of paint stacked upon each other, and as such can be scratched or damaged if not properly taken care of. Therefore, we have a few tips for keeping your fordite ring looking great:

  • Try your best to avoid exposing the ring to harsh chemicals like bleach, ammonia, or other cleaning agents. These chemicals and others may damage the surface of the Fordite.
  • Remove the ring before taking part in activities that could put a physical strain on the piece, such as heavy lifting, gardening, etc.
  • To clean a fordite ring, we recommend a soft brush or cloth and warm soapy water. Gently scrubbing the ring should remove any grime. Be sure to rinse it thoroughly and to dry it with a soft cloth. Be sure any other materials on the ring are water safe first!
  • If you decide to try and buff or polish the ring yourself, be sure to take proper precautions! Wear a properly rated respirator, gloves, and utilize wet sanding to protect your lungs from any dust particulates.
  • Be careful with ultrasonic cleaners as prolonged time within them could eventually cause damage to the individual layers of the fordite.

DOES FORDITE CONTAIN LEAD?

A common concern when it comes to Fordite is the inherent safety of the material. An especially common concern when it comes to vintage fordite is the possible presence of lead in its mixture. Older cars utilized lead paint for coloration and drying purposes, and lead can be found in paints leading up until the ban of lead paints in the late 1970s.

The Racer Ultralight

Would recommend 10/10

We ordered The Racer Ultralight. Weren’t sure exactly what size so got the ring sizing kit. When the ring came it felt a little tight on my fiance so we immediately set up to exchange it. The customer service was TOP KNOTCH in making sure we got the fit we wanted and it came in time for the wedding. The new ring came, fits perfect and he finds it so comfortable. Will definitely recommend to others as well as use the company again!

Excellent Exchange Process

Great customer service. Answered even the smallest question in a timely manner. Very friendly.

Love It!

I didn’t think I liked black rings, but I wanted the breakaway since I had an experience where I was dangling from my finger as my old ring was caught at the top of a ladder. I decided I would try it even though it was black and I love it. Within the first day I forgot I was wearing it, it is so comfortable, and now I know I’m safe from losing my finger. Also I got the middle thickness and it’s just right, I could not be happier. I will gladly buy another if it ever breaks.

Foreman Ring

Great quality rings, great customer service. Would recommend to anyone who asks about a ring.

Exactly what we needed!

I purchased my husband a teakwood-inlaid ring from a craftsman on Etsy, and the ring came with instructions on how to keep it preserved, but not any supplies. When my husband’s ring started looking a bit dull, I went looking for supplies and found this kit.
It worked perfectly! My husband’s ring is back to its original shine and now we have the materials to keep it looking good!

Perfect

I never review but this ring is exactly what I wanted. I hate wearing rings but my wife thinks I should wear at least 1. I hardly notice it and it looks awesome. I have left it on through many work outs and it still looks new. Shipped fast. Get it!

High Quality Ring and Excellent Customer Service

The ring I ordered was exactly as appeared online however it was too small. Customer service was quick to be helpful and arrange for the replacement.

Amazing! Durable, lightweight, 1000 x better then any of the rubber rings ive had. This order was a second one to keep for a back up (im terrible with loosing my ring). Didnt want to wait for shipping if i happen to miss place it.

Wonderful

Everything was so prompt and friendly. The ring sizer came in about 2 days and then the ring itself was about 5 days later. Customer service was incredibly friendly and helpful. The ring itself ended up being slightly big but that’s an easy fix!

Tough Rings!

When we married several years ago, I bought this same ring in a 10 mm size for my husband. Fast forward to about a month ago, he had heavy steel come down on his hand. By the grace of God, the ring took the brunt of the blow and his finger was fine. The ring snapped but, better than his finger. He’s a millwright and works in some pretty knarly places. Silicone rings are a joke. They didn’t hold up two weeks. So, the Quicksilver Ultralight is the ring for him. This time we ordered one that was slightly more narrow. He said it was more comfortable. Thank you for making a safe, attractive ring that my husband can actually wear.

What you need

Perfect minimal ring. Super thin and lightweight. Looks and feels great. Never want to wear anything else.

Just awesome!

From the amazing customer service to the quality of the ring I purchased, an amazing experience all around! Ordered the Sleek Ultralight - I’m not used to wearing jewelry and needed a ring that was super light and this lives up to the name. Also, it is very stylish… love it. 6 stars!

I'm happy that the ring sizer came for free beforehand for us to get the correct measurement. The ring feels nice and fits nicely. I also appreciated how fast it came both the ring sizer and ring came within a week.

Great company

Usually not into rings, but this one is great and you hardly notice it on. My girlfriend bought me this one in a half size too small (my fault) and they made it super easy and quick to exchange for a half size up. Thanks so much!

Thankful

I’m allergic to metal and I don’t like rubber rings, as they irritate me and you guessed it… depending on the mix of the rubber I’m allergic too.
This company has been amazing to find. On top of that, they are making us custom wedding rings. So I’m very grateful to find them.
Try it out, I don’t think you’ll regret it!

Men's Promise Ring

This fit the bill completely. Represented the receiver and his interest for fine whiskey and natural materials. Truly a man's man and he absolutely loved it, even minus the love and intention behind the original purpose (or rather in addition to). Simply perfect for any "real man of true substance". Couldn't have asked for anything more authentic, durable, lasting and sophisticated.

It's amazing. Shipped so quickly. Very grateful 🙏🏽

Simple ring of my dreams

I love the simple things in life and this is the perfect wedding band for me! I have sensory issues and just don’t tolerate some textures but this ring is so light and smooth.

Engaged!

The perfect engagement ring!

Very happy with the fit and feel of the ring, the rose gold and wood choice combo is perfect. Very happy with the ring and with the company.
