Diamonds and Ruby Trophy Ring: It's a Player!
Few of us have the talent/ability to become a Professional sports athlete and so we use our imagination and live vicariously through our hometown teams. All of us have at one time or another fantasized about making that winning shot or play to win a championship and get that Ticker Tape parade down Main Street. One of the rewards is getting that Championship Ring-Bling!!!
The Boston Red Sox, 2007 World Series Champions received their rings yesterday. The new bling - made by the ring kings at Jostens - features a pair of Red Sox, on the top, each one containing four specially cut rubies for a combined weight of 2.14 carats.
There are 14 princess-cut diamonds in a diamond-shaped bed below the Sox, and 28 more round-cut diamonds running around the top of the ring.
Eight players - David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez, Jason Varitek, Curt Schilling, Tim Wakefield, Doug Mirabelli, Mike Timlin, and Kevin Youkilis - received rings that featured the Sox’ “B” and two World Series trophies on the side because they were on the team in both 2004 and 2007. The rings for the rest of the team feature just one trophy.
On the other side of the ring are the words “7th Word Series Championship,” with a replica of Fenway Park underneath and the words “4-0 Sweep.”
The rings have been appraised at $20,000 and the Sox Team Officials are expected to hand out about 50 of them to players, coaches and staff.
Jostens also made all three of the New England Patriots Super Bowl rings, and are ready to design a ring for the Boston Celtics should they win the NBA Championship this year.
For the rest of us? Dream On!
