Alice H. Parker ~ Ignite ~

$60.00

An African American inventor whose 1919 patent introduced a natural‑gas central heating system, a major step toward the modern HVAC systems used today. Her design pulled cool air into a furnace, warmed it through a heat exchanger, and sent it through ducts to heat individual rooms—far safer and more efficient than the wood‑burning fireplaces most homes relied on.

Inspired by harsh New Jersey winters and an ineffective fireplace, Parker’s idea reduced the need for chopping wood and lowered the risk of overnight house fires. Although her exact design wasn’t adopted, Parker’s innovative use of natural gas and ductwork helped shape the central heating systems we depend on today. SALUTE!!!

Ignite is a handcrafted piece of jewelry made with 10mm Black Labradorite, Citrine, Pyrite,and Sodalite beads with Gold-plated accents.

The perfect piece to complement any outfit.
