The Warriors' 2022 NBA championship rings are here and they are incredible.
Golden State held its ring ceremony prior to their 2022-23 season-opener against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night at Chase Center and the fourth ring for Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and Andre Iguodala might just be the best one yet.

"The rings feature approximately 16 carats of yellow and white diamonds set into yellow gold to represent the team’s 16 wins during the 2022 NBA Playoffs, marking the first time a Championship ring has been made up primarily of yellow diamonds," the Warriors wrote in a statement. "Seven carats of yellow cushion cut diamonds on the bezel represent the team’s seven championships, while 43 baguettes in the bridge represent Stephen Curry’s 43-point performance in Game 4 of the NBA Finals."
"A secret compartment on the top of the ring unveils the trophies won by each individual player, which is only accessible through a lever designed within the architectural features of Chase Center, the Warriors’ home arena, depicted on the side of the ring. Additional features on the sides of the ring include seven Championship trophies to represent the franchise’s seven NBA Championships, the team’s “Just Us” mantra, and more."
The rings were created by Jason of Beverly Hills, who also made the Warriors' 2015, 2017 and 2018 rings.
Each member of the 2021-22 Warriors team in attendance -- both current and former -- walked out one-by-one to receive their rings.
The Warriors wrapped up their ceremony by hanging yet another championship banner.
The Warriors are hoping that their 2022-23 season both begins and ends with hardware as they look to repeat as champions and win a fifth ring in nine seasons.
