Jostens Creates World Series of Poker 2017 World Championship Bracelet
July 23 2017 - 07:50AM
The 2017 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event champion was
presented with a custom championship bracelet from Jostens early
Sunday morning at the Main Event Final Table in Las Vegas.
Scott Blumstein from New Jersey took home a cash prize of $8.1
million along with the WSOP world champion bracelet created by
Jostens, the leading custom jewelry designer and producer for
professional, college, and high school champions across the
country.
Custom-created by Jostens’ artisan jewelry team, the bracelet is
intricately assembled from over 40 uniquely-cast parts and crafted
with 427 grams of white and yellow gold. The entire bracelet
features 356 white diamonds totaling 25.5 carats, 626 black
diamonds totaling 14.8 carats, and 194 rubies at an outstanding 3.8
carats.
Each link of the bracelet mimics a playing card, perfectly
doubled down on both sides of the bracelet. This one-of-a kind
design ups the ante by linking a diamond and ruby encrusted band to
a show-stopping centerpiece featuring the acronym “WSOP” written in
rubies that are set against a backdrop of rows of perfectly placed
white diamonds. The centerpiece is punctuated on all sides by a row
of black diamonds.
Opening like a locket, the stunning centerpiece bracelet top
reveals a hidden compartment designed to house the two winning
cards from the player’s final tournament, preserving the winning
hand for all time. This year’s winning player’s bracelet holds an
ace of hearts and a two of diamonds.
“Jostens has a longstanding tradition and commitment to
celebrate champions and their championship moments, and we’re
honored to once again be the official bracelet manufacturer of the
World Series of Poker,” said Miran Armutlu, VP Jewelry, Jostens.
“This year’s bracelet – like its champion – will be remembered for
its unique contribution to the game and to the WSOP tradition.”
“We’re proud to work with Jostens to honor our World Series of
Poker Main Event champion,” said Ty Stewart, Executive Director of
WSOP. “Our continuing partnership reflects the
outstanding achievements of our champions and the game.”
