The Golden State Warriors’ new championship rings are, predictably, beautiful.

Even an Opening Night loss couldn’t dim the shimmer of the Golden State Warriors’ new championship rings. It’s the team’s second in three years and I have some pretty cool news: it never gets old. Seriously, I wouldn’t be mad if they did this again next year.

Per ESPN’s Darren Rovell the 11-carat ring has more diamonds than any other ring that has ever been created for a major professional sports champion. The jewelry must fit the team and it’s hard to find any other squad that dominated quite like the Warriors did. It just looks expensive and heavy.

Just like in 2015, the organization selected Jason of Beverly Hills to design and create the rings. Once again, they did not disappoint. Everything about the ring is gorgeous.

The face features the Warriors’ bridge logo with the Larry O’Brien trophy. The gold really stands out against the diamonds. The blue around the face brings it all home.

Each championship player’s number is featured underneath the face around the ring. One one side, the player’s name is inscribed. On the other, the result of each series is etched into the ring. The Warriors swept the first three rounds and won the Finals in five games so there are three “4-0’s” and one “4-1” on the ring. Additionally, the year of each championship is included on gold trophies.

I couldn’t find the cost of the rings, but it’s safe to say they weren’t cheap. When you have the most diamonds in any championship ring ever, you’re going to need to open up your wallet. Lucky for everyone that got one, Joe Lacob and Peter Guber aren’t shy about doing that.

Regardless of the price tag, that ring is priceless. It’s a physical representation of all of the hard work the team put over the course of the year. Though they may never wear it, no one can take the fact that they are NBA champions away from them and that ring proves that.

Jason of Beverly Hills will have to get really creative next year when Lacob puts in that request for a brand new batch.
