FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Hi Octane Jewelry Brings Handcrafted Horsepower to Daytona Beach’s Iconic Turkey Run

DeLand, FL – October 2025 — Hi Octane Jewelry, the handcrafted jewelry brand inspired by classic cars, speed, and design innovation, will showcase its bold automotive-inspired pieces at the upcoming Daytona Turkey Run, held Thanksgiving weekend at the Daytona International Speedway.

Located in DeLand, Florida, just a short drive from Daytona Beach — the home of NASCAR, Hi Octane Jewelry fuses motorsport culture with fine craftsmanship. Every piece is designed and made by hand using the ancient lost wax casting method, resulting in jewelry that celebrates horsepower, heritage, and individuality.

“Hi Octane Jewelry was born from a love of classic cars and the artistry behind them,” says designer and founder Alicia Hanson. “Each ring, pendant, and pair of earrings tells a story — whether it’s inspired by a vintage grille, a tailfin curve, or the roar of an engine. Our customers aren’t just wearing jewelry — they’re wearing their passion for the open road.”

Fans can find Hi Octane Jewelry in the Artisan Alley at the Daytona Turkey Run, one of the largest classic car shows and swap meets in the country. The brand will feature its signature Hot Rod Rings, Piston Pendants, Car Grille Cufflinks, and Automotive Earrings — each piece designed for car enthusiasts who appreciate originality and craftsmanship.

The collection’s signature materials — sterling silver, gold brass, and recycled metals — pay homage to both engineering and artistry. Each piece captures a sense of motion and mechanical beauty, designed for those who live life in the fast lane.

The Daytona Turkey Run runs November 28–December 1, 2025, at Daytona International Speedway, drawing tens of thousands of car lovers and collectors. Hi Octane Jewelry invites attendees to stop by the Artisan Alley booth to experience the intersection of fine art and automotive culture — and discover why their motto is:
“Jewelry with Horsepower.”

Wear the Road: Sterling Silver Ford Galaxie Front-End Ring

From Hood to Hand: Ford Galaxie Grill Sterling Silver Ring Nothing says power and craftsmanship like a handcrafted sterling silver ring inspired by classic muscle car front ends. Each piece is meticulously sculpted to echo the iconic curves, grilles, and headlights of vintage American muscle, capturing the raw energy and style of automotive legends. These rings aren’t just jewelry—they’re miniature works of art that speak to both car culture and fine metalwork.

Placed on hands tattooed with the word “HAND MADE” across the knuckles, the rings tell a story of authenticity, grit, and devotion to craft. Every detail—from the precise grille lines to the polished “chrome” finish—is designed to stand out on strong, expressive hands, making them a statement piece that’s impossible to ignore. Whether you’re a collector, a car enthusiast, or someone who values one-of-a-kind jewelry, these rings celebrate individuality in bold style.

Made from high-quality sterling silver, these rings are built to last. The metal is durable, maintains its shine, and can be polished or aged to match your personal aesthetic. Each design bridges the worlds of industrial precision and wearable art, reflecting the craftsmanship behind both muscle cars and fine jewelry. The tactile feel on the finger also mimics the solid, weighty presence of a well-tuned engine.

For collectors, these rings are a conversation starter. Pair them with leather jackets, racing boots, or other automotive-inspired jewelry for a cohesive look. They also make an unforgettable gift for gearheads who appreciate both style and mechanical artistry. Each piece from HiOctaneJewelry.com celebrates the synergy between road culture and hand-crafted silver artistry.

>Manley Design Custom Ring Order | Hi Octane Jewelry

We just finished this custom ordered emblem ring. Dan Manley of Manley Designs conceived this ring design from a Cadillac toaster the he designed. What is a Cadillac Toaster you ask? See it here. Dan built the MD logo emblem for his toaster then thought it would make a cool emblem ring. So he built the ring in a 3D program. Then sent us the file. We milled the ring and cast the ring in sterling silver.

I just love the way it turned out and so did Dan.
