91 Bracelets Have Been Crafted From Schumacher's F1 Tire

The Story

One of the most significant moments of Michael Schumacher's F1 career was his win at the 1996 Italian Grand Prix at Monza. It was the Scuderia Ferrari team's first victory at Monza since 1988.

You can now be a part of history as a limited number of bracelets have been crafted from the actual tire that Schumacher used in that race.

The Snapshot

The rubber from the tire of Schumacher’s Monza-winning Ferrari F310 car has been made into a handful of limited-edition bracelets.

The pieces feature seven round cut diamonds and a platinum clasp. They were created as part of a collaboration between Mongrip and the charitable Keep Fighting Foundation, which was set up in 2016 by Michael’s family after his serious skiing accident in 2013.

The first bracelet sold at auction for over €30,000. Priced at €9,600, the remainder of the bracelets will be released in batches, alongside authenticity certificates.

The Lesson

“In the world of contemporary jewellery, artisans are pushing the boundaries of creativity by crafting pieces from materials that defy tradition. To commemorate the pivotal moment that Michael Schumacher won the 1996 Italian Grand Prix at Monza, a handful of limited edition bracelets have been crafted from his Ferrari F310 tire from the race," said Maxwell Stone, Creative Director at fine jewellery experts Steven Stone.
