A white gold ring has been presented to British Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton.

The racing driver was given the 18-c white gold, diamond and titanium ring by Steinmetz Diamonds to celebrate his victory in the Monaco Grand Prix 2008.

Inspired by racing, the ring has been created to high standards of fine jewellery making and features diamonds in a pave setting that spell out Hamilton's signature.

Hamilton won this year's Formula One world championship at the age of just 23 and has been hailed as a British sporting hero.

The Boston Celtics had a gold championship ring crafted for the basketball team to mark their victory in the 2008 NBA Championship.

Designed by Balfour, the 2008 World Championship rings are worth around $30,000 each and are set with diamonds and an emerald shamrock to commemorate the Celtics 17th NBA Championship.
