Motorsport Meets High Jewellery: Hannah St John Turns Heads with ‘La Velocita’ Diamond Necklace at F1 Event
A 25-carat, 1,800-diamond Masterpiece Inspired by Formula 1 circuits Takes Centre Stage at the Glamour on the Grid ahead of the Australian Grand Prix
At the glamorous lead-up to the Australian Grand Prix, Hannah St John, partner of Liam Lawson, made a striking statement at the Glamour on the Grid event with a one-of-a-kind diamond necklace that seamlessly blended motorsport and haute jewellery.
Titled “La Velocit” (The Speed), the necklace was crafted by Australian atelier Martin Rogers Jewellery. The extraordinary piece features approximately 1,800 diamonds totalling 25 carats, intricately arranged to trace the outlines of iconic Formula 1 circuits from the global racing calendar.



A true testament to craftsmanship, the necklace required an estimated 250–300 hours of meticulous handwork, including weeks dedicated solely to precision diamond setting. Valued at around AUD $500,000 (approximately $350,000 USD), the piece stands as a bold fusion of speed, design, and luxury artistry.
Blurring the lines between engineering inspiration and fine jewellery, “La Velocità” captured attention across the paddock, proving that Formula 1’s influence extends far beyond the track.
