Anatomy of Warriors' NBA championship ring

Share

The NBA Champion Golden State Warriors received their 2014-15 NBA Championship rings during a special pregame ceremony on Tuesday, Oct. 27.

The circular top is a nod to the shape of the Warriors jersey logo as well as the shape of a basketball.  Jason ofBeverly Hills was even able to get Oracle Arena's silhouette into the design, as well as a gold image on the side of the ring of the team holding up the Championship trophy.

While some of the meanings are obvious, there are a few hidden stories...

  • The 240 stones on top of the ring stand for the 240 regular season wins and playoff wins under the current ownership group.
  • The ring is 14kt gold except for the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and players' numbers that are made of a special batch of yellow gold with 67 percent purity to represent the 67-win season.
  • There are 16 princess cut stones on the side of the ring to represent the number of 2015 playoff wins that led to the Larry O'Brien NBA Championship Trophy coming back to the Bay.
  • What you cannot see are 4 single stones that are only visible under special black light, because they were made fluorescent to signify the four championships in Warriors franchise history (2015, 1975, 1956, 1947).

The total carat weight of the player's rings is over six carats of diamonds and blue sapphires. This is a limited edition ring that can't be copied.

"While the ring is simple in design, it has a complex story line and really does tell the story of the franchise. The Warriors allowed us to take a risk with the design and redefine what a championship ring looks like," said Jason Arasheben, CEO of Jason of Beverly Hills.
