Description: DESCRIPTION This is it, Lewis leaves Mercedes! To honour his time with the Silver Arrows and mark his new beginnings at Ferrari, I can offer you this very limited edition run of jewellery with these LH44 Sterling Silver Edition braceletsThis pretty special limited edition is a never before chance to own something I believe is pretty unique... you can own some of the lifeblood of one of the most dominant pairings in F1 history... actual race used engine oil from one of Lewis Hamilton's 2019 Grand Prix and championship WINNING Mercedes F1 cars. That's right, this wonderful glass vial bracelet is filled with the actual engine oil used in Lewis's Mercedes engine during the 2019 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the final race of the 2019 and a race in which Lewis was victorious! The oil is from a sample taken by Petronas at the end of the session mentioned where they micro inspect it for any imperfections such as metals and are able to report back to the team to report of what, if anything needs to be addressed. Ive tried to highlight in these bracelets some of those imperfection, metals that are inspected during such tests as seen in the attached photos. This glass and metal pendant is set upon a red cordered bracelet and finished with a beautiful 925 Sterling Silver and silver plated fittings as well as a 925 sterling silver and enamel chequred flag charm to mark the end of his time with this amazing team. This beautiful charm has a pair of slider grips either side to keep the charm where you want it most. They will come in a lovely square white gift box which features Lewis' wings emblem and his nane as he has it on his steering wheel. It will be pairwd with a signed COA art card and smaller identification double sided card. Which has all the information about this piece that you'll need. This is a limited edition for now of only 8 pieces, this is mainly due to my hands and eyes suffering with the symptoms of my Multiple Sclerosis and with them being very fiddly to make I cant make many at the moment, as well as that I'm keeping one for myself... I'm that happy with them! The length of these bracelets is 20cm, I will include an extention chain as well should needs be. Please note that the Mercedes sample bottle isn't being sold, I need to keep this oil in its original container because without it... well slippery much haha WHY I DO THISHaving witnessed the waste produced by Formula One over the past 20 years I decided that I could make a difference and at the same time give fans of the sport a unique opportunity to own the ultimate in F1 memorabilia. There are stories about fields in southern England having shipping containers packed full of F1® cars and parts being buried, certainly this was true of teams up the early 2000's. More recently many teams archive parts, but these archives have to be emptied, many items are destroyed (see the secretly filmed video of what one of the largest teams in F1® do when clearing out their archives) and due to their inability to be recycled, are put into landfill, something which will only have a huge detrimental effect to our environment in the future. Below I have embedded video of what McLaren do with their parts they no longer have a use for, pretty saddening and shocking that so much material like this ends up in landfill. ABOUT MEI had always wanted to do something about the waste our sport creates, when about 15 years ago the idea of selling obsolete, damaged, scrapped car parts came to mind. I didn't want to just sell on the parts on as is, I wanted to give my fellow fans the chance of owning the best memorabilia I could possibly offer and with my arts background I found that these F1® car parts really leant themselves to being redesigned and re-purposed into something new, something beautiful, something cool. Over the years however I have had to call a halt to this process due the ongoing battle I'm having with Multiple Sclerosis and the inability to physically be able to put these gifts together. Right now I am having periods of good health which enable me to get back to doing what I absolutely love, the design and manufacturing of upcycled F1® car part gifts. I am using this opportunity to give something back to the organisations which have helped not only myself, but every single person with MS to maintain, manage and cope with the symptoms this illness presents. POSTAGEDue to the Royal Mail losing so many parcels and the increase in scam buyers I have been forced into sending all parcels by recorded delivery and as such I can no longer offer a free postage method. I'm trying to find an alternative courier service but in the meantime I will make sure to only charge what is quoted and where I can, I'll try and be cheaper than what the Royal Mail quotes. UK Postage- Postage within the UK will be sent via small parcel 2nd class signed for. If however, you require a speedier method of postage then please select 1st class recorded upon completing your order. International Shipping- I will ship worldwide, if you can't see a price for the country you reside in then please message me before bidding and I will get a shipping quote sent over ASAP.
