Each piece is hand-cut and hand-polished by The Swanky Dale in Ball Ground, Georgia to reveal the stacked color history trapped inside. This Blacktop Bloom pattern shows deep blues, metallic greys, and high-contrast black and white stripes layered in tight bands that pulse with industrial energy. The fordite rests on a hand-sawed recycled copper backplate shaped like a guitar pick, the signature silhouette of this collection. Set on hypoallergenic surgical-grade stainless steel chain that won't tarnish or fade. One of a kind, never to be repeated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine fordite (Detroit automotive factory paint buildup)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-cut and hand-polished stone, hours of labor per piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep blue, metallic grey, black, and white high-contrast stripe pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-sawed recycled copper backplate, guitar pick shaped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHypoallergenic stainless steel chain included, 20\" rope or 24\" ball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight and comfortable for everyday wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% one-of-one design, handmade in Ball Ground, Georgia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hypoallergenic stainless steel chain requires no maintenance and won't tarnish.
