Handcrafted Fordite Jewelry | Layer & Flow Jewelry Design

Layer & Flow Jewelry Design is our artisan jewelry collection, featuring one-of-a-kind handcrafted Fordite and Surfite jewelry and gifts made in Massachusetts.

Each piece is individually handcrafted in our Palmer, Massachusetts workshop, transforming distinctive layers of automotive history into wearable art. Fordite is hardened automotive paint formed over years of overspray in automotive manufacturing, creating natural patterns and colors that make every piece completely unique.

We carefully select, cut, shape, sand and polish each piece of Fordite to reveal the incredible layers hidden within. From Jeep and Mopar Fordite to Kenworth and Maritime Navy Fordite, every piece tells its own story—and no two pieces of our handcrafted Fordite jewelry are ever exactly alike.
