Williams to sell jewellery made from F1 cars

Williams has partnered with motorsport jewellery specialist RESS to launch a range of limited-edition pieces made from components of its Formula 1 cars.

The collection features bracelets and pendants containing material from Williams machinery, including Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon’s FW47s from the 2025 season.

The FW47 was Williams’ most successful car since 2017, with the team finishing fifth in the constructors’ championship and scoring two podiums with Sainz.

The initial collection comprises five products.

A £70 Williams team bracelet is made from metal used in the construction of this year’s FW48 and comes with an adjustable navy-blue woven nylon band.

Separate Sainz and Albon ranges each feature a £100 bracelet and a £150 pendant made directly from parts of their respective 2025 FW47 cars. The pendants are supplied on 26-inch sterling silver chains.

RESS says every piece can be traced back to its source material. Each item carries a unique serial number identifying its driver, season, car and individual piece number.

Buyers also receive a certificate of authenticity and access to a digital record on RESS’s website. The record, unlocked using the serial number, details the original component from which the jewellery was made, where and when it was used, and other associated material.

According to RESS, the components originate from Williams’ Grove factory and can come either from parts of the car itself or from the car-building process. Material that is no longer suitable for racing can subsequently be repurposed by RESS.

The collaboration will initially launch in person at the Williams F1 Team Fan Zone in Madrid’s Plaza del Callao from September 7-13.

The collection will then be available online from 10am BST on September 12 through RESS and Williams’ official online stores.

RESS says the Williams partnership will expand beyond the initial five products, with further releases and highly limited-edition “drops” planned during the F1 season.

“This is the start of an exciting partnership, and we look forward to sharing more details as the collection expands,” said RESS founder Mike O’Connor.

Williams merchandise and licensing director Luke Timmins added: “Working with RESS has given us a new way to engage with fans, and showcase the very material that shapes our sport.”

The partnership marks a move towards giving fans a more tangible connection to retired F1 machinery, with the provenance of each piece intended to establish a direct link to a specific car and season.
