Mr. Paul Donnelly

Operations director Paul Donnelly said the high-profile commission was secured through Wisconsin-based diamond specialist Mike Husar, with whom the crystal makers have worked in the past to produce trophies for Indy Car races.

Mr Donnelly said: "On May 20 we got a call from the race organisers.
...
Mr Donnelly explained: "We were asked not to go above 6kg but the large trophies each weigh 10kg.
...
Mr Donnelly said he was excited the company was playing a significant part in such a major sporting occasion.

He said: "This will get worldwide exposure and it will show everyone what we can do in terms of quality and turn around time.

"I don`t think anybody else in the crystal game, starting from scratch, could have delivered a custom made trophy to the size and design we were asked to.

"That is something we are very proud of."

The F1 cars will roar into action at 6pm (GMT) on Sunday, but Mr Donnelly joked: "I will be watching the race but I will be paying particular attention to the podium presentation."
