June 15 2018 - 08:05AM
Jostens, the leading provider of custom, hand-crafted jewelry for
professional sports teams, unveiled the Philadelphia Eagles 2018
World Championship Ring to Eagles players and coaches in a special
ceremony last night. The Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl LII
Championship Ring commemorates the organization’s historic 2017
season, which culminated in the team’s victory over the New England
Patriots and their first Super Bowl Championship title. In
total, the Eagles are distributing over 400 rings to the
entire Philadelphia Eagles organization, including players,
coaches, front office executives, football operations and support
staff.“We at Jostens are truly honored to have had the opportunity
to partner with the Philadelphia Eagles on their inaugural Super
Bowl Ring,” said Chris Poitras, Jostens Division Vice President of
Professional Sports. “The beautiful and intricate design pays
tribute to the determination of the team and the story of their
season.”THE STORY BEHIND THE RINGThe ring is made of 10-karat white
gold and features 219 diamonds and 17 genuine green sapphires with
a total weight of 9.15 carats. The rare rough green sapphires were
secured to match the official team color. The ring top features the
Eagle head logo, set atop the Vince Lombardi Trophy and custom-cut,
genuine green baguette sapphires surrounded by intricate, pavé-set
diamonds. Fifty-two pavé-set diamonds are set within the Eagle
head, signifying Super Bowl LII. The bottom portion of the
base of the trophy features 13 pavé-set diamonds representing the
13 regular season victories that tied the franchise record. The top
of the trophy is adorned with three diamonds, representing not only
the number of times the Eagles were deemed underdogs, but also the
number of post-season victories it took to be crowned World
Champions. A large marquise-cut diamond is featured at the top of
the Vince Lombardi Trophy to represent the first Super Bowl
Championship in franchise history. To round out the ring top, the
words “WORLD CHAMPIONS” adorn the top and bottom edges.The bezel of
the ring features a waterfall of 127 diamonds, paying tribute to
one of the most memorable moments in franchise history – “The
Philly Special” – the trick play that resulted in a touchdown on
fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line in Super Bowl LII. The 127
diamonds represent the combined jersey numbers of three key players
involved in the play – Corey Clement (30), Trey Burton (88) and
Nick Foles (9). Four round, genuine green sapphires adorn the
corners of the base of the ring and symbolize the team’s four NFL
Championships – three World Championships (1948, 1949, 1960) and
one Super Bowl Championship (2017)The left side of the ring
features the player’s name set above an end zone view silhouette of
Lincoln Financial Field, the home of the Philadelphia Eagles. The
inclusion of the stadium is a symbolic tribute to the passionate
and dedicated fan base that has supported the team since its
formation in 1933. The player’s number is studded with pavé-set
diamonds and set in the middle of the football field.The right side
of the ring features the score from Super Bowl LII (PHI 41 – NE 33)
and one of the team’s messages of unity throughout the season, “WE
ALL WE GOT, WE ALL WE NEED” is set above the Super Bowl LII logo.
The word “FAMILY” sits below the logo and serves as a reminder of
the team’s commitment and dedication to each other.In honor of
Eagles fans across the region, country, and world, the words from
the team’s fight song, “FLY EAGLES FLY” are written on the bottom
of the outer band. The top of the inside arbor of the ring is
inscribed with the scores from the team’s three postseason
victories and an image of an underdog mask, an acknowledgement of
how the Eagles embraced and overcame their underdog role to
galvanize the team, the fans and the entire city of Philadelphia.
The bottom of the inside arbor is inscribed with each player’s
signature – the first time championship rings have ever featured
engraved signatures.WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP JEWELRY COLLECTION NOW
