MAKING OF THE RESS. BLOCK

Championship-winning. Race-winning. Podium-finishing. Every piece carries motorsport history.

SOURCING & AUTHENTICATING F1 COMPONENTS

Every RESS Block begins with a rigorous process of sourcing and authentication to ensure each piece is genuinely made from raced F1 components. We work closely with Formula 1 teams, collectors, and private owners to access authentic race parts, from championship-winning chassis to podium-finishing components.

Each component undergoes a meticulous authentication process. We trace the history of the part, what car it came from, when and where it raced, and its performance on the track, to guarantee that every element used in a RESS Block is truly a piece of F1 history.

This authenticity extends to the final RESS Block. Every piece is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, proving it is made from real F1 components. In addition, owners receive a detailed authentication document via our Authentication Portal on our website. This document provides an in-depth look at the exact part used, including race statistics, wins, podiums, points etc, and exclusive images and videos of the car and component in action.

Through this process, each RESS Block is not just jewellery, it is a verified piece of racing heritage, carrying the story and legacy of the track directly to its owner.

CRAFTING THE RESS. BLOCK

Once a component has passed the sourcing and authentication process, it arrives at our Foundry in Suffolk, England, where the transformation into wearable F1 history begins. Here, our skilled team starts the creative process, turning raw race components into precise, signature RESS Blocks.

The process begins with a high-pressure waterjet that cuts the component into manageable pieces. These are then melted in a furnace at extreme temperatures. Aluminium and titanium require reaching up to 1,607°C (3,040°F). Once molten, the liquid metal is carefully poured into our custom RESS Block moulds, forming the iconic bar shape that defines every piece.

After cooling, each bar is drilled to attach to a bracelet or necklace. The RESS serial number is engraved on the top face, while the opposite side proudly bears the RESS logo. The two engraved surfaces are then polished to a mirror-like finish, highlighting both craftsmanship and the history within the metal.

Once complete, each RESS Block is ready to be sent to its new owner.

THE RESS. SERIAL NUMBER

Every RESS Block carries a unique serial number, engraved to identify the DRIVER, YEAR, CAR, and BATCH from which the component originated. This serial number not only certifies the piece as an authentic fragment of F1 history but also allows you to trace the precise origins of your RESS Block, connecting them directly to the story and legacy of the car and driver it came
from.
