Here is the Queen’s Ring: A Special Jewel (Completely Made in Brianza) for the Pole Winner
Yesterday it was previewed; on Sunday it will be delivered (engraved with his name) to whoever wins the pole position on Saturday.

The Queen’s Ring

A unique and special jewel that will adorn the finger of whoever wins the pole position after official practice. A jewel completely made in Brianza, crafted by the great master goldsmith Guido Guzzi from Villasanta. A jewel that naturally evokes the world of car racing.

How It Is Made

This year too, the Italian Grand Prix will boast a special prize, which last year was won by Lando Norris. The Queen’s Ring, promoted by the Scuderia Ferrari Club of Caprino Bergamasco, was born from an idea by two local entrepreneurs: Antonio Mariani and Enrico Squarzina, and is crafted by master goldsmith Guido Guzzi. A jewel whose shape recalls the plates that make up the Iron Crown (hence the name) and evokes the world of motors with the checkered flag and the Italian Tricolore.

A Pride of All Lombardy (and Brianza)

A true gem that was previewed yesterday, Monday, September 1st, at the Pirellone in the presence of the President of the Region, Attilio Fontana, and the regional councilor Alessandro Corbetta, as well as the promoters and the master goldsmith. A jewel that will be delivered directly on September 7th to the driver who won the pole the day before, personalized with his name.

“An excellent idea,” comments President Fontana, “that combines one of the greatest international sporting events held in our country with the history and tradition of the territory, celebrating in a ‘unicum’ the Iron Crown, the memory of Queen Theodolinda, one of the emblems of Monza, and above all the exceptional artisanal creativity typical of Brianza.”
Inspiration
“I was inspired by the Iron Crown, but I thought of creating a jewel that would be a trophy yet that a driver could also enjoy wearing, suitable for a young champion and that wouldn’t be put away in a closet after the award ceremony,” Guzzi recounted, explaining the genesis of the work. “The ring’s shape recalls the six plates that make up the Iron Crown, and inside there is a reproduction of the nail (present in the Iron Crown) which legend says belonged to the cross of Jesus,” Guido Guzzi had explained last year to MonzaToday.

The yellow gold is interspersed with bas-reliefs of the metal part that dynamically recreate the checkered flag, a symbol of motorsport, while the Italian Tricolore is suggested by the shades of the precious stones set: diamond, rubies, and tsavorite.

“We wanted to create an ideal link by drawing inspiration from the ancient knights, enhancing the culture and history of the territory on an international stage like that of Formula One,” Squarzina had added.
