Turns out Alan Jones has been busy since he left Formula One. After two stalled returns to the paddock in 1983 and 1985, the Aussie has been concentrating on his business interests, one of which caught our eye.

Speed Jewellery – established by Jones ten years ago – is a jewellery range for men themed exclusively on the wheel. Many of the 1980 World Champion’s favourite wheel designs from both the automotive and motorsport worlds were the basis for his original portfolio, which has continued to grow steadily ever since.

The range includes both rings and cufflinks, with the occasional pendant and bracelet thrown in. Held in particular esteem by the crankandpiston team are the Monza Ring – which replicates Italian sportscar design – and the Jones 1980 cufflinks, inspired by the Aussie’s Championship-winning FW07 Williams F1 car.

Hold fire on bulk orders, though. Each example will set you back close to $300 >>>
