July 03, 2024 - For more than a century, racing has provided a launch pad for Cadillac to transfer knowledge and technology between race cars and production vehicles, and a way to build a fanbase for the brand around the world.
To illustrate Cadillac's commitment to performance, the brand collaborated with CRASH Jewelry to produce limited edition sustainable jewelry made from CT5-V Blackwing steel in original factory paint.
Two styles are available in original factory Black Raven and Chartreuse Metallic Paint—the Blackwing Icon Cuff and the V-Performance Pattern Cuff. Each design consists of a limited edition run of only 75 pieces.
Using emerging laser technology, CRASH Jewelry's innovative designs are created through a process that selectively preserves and highlights the Cadillac's original factory paint. The Blackwing Icon Cuff depicts the repeating logo pattern that, at first glance, resembles a tire tread.
As its name indicates, the V-Performance Pattern Cuff portrays just that but in both colors as a double cuff.
The Cadillac wordmark is engraved inside every cuff, along with a custom CRASH Jewelry VIN, and a serial number to denote its position in the exclusive series.
Both Blackwing Cuffs can be found on the V- Series 20th Anniversary Collection website at http://www.vseries20.com.
