The Kansas City Chiefs victory in Super Bowl LVII now feels more official as Chiefs players, coaches and staff were presented with their official Super Bowl rings from Jostens during a private ceremony.
“Jostens is proud to once again be trusted by the Kansas City Chiefs to celebrate another historic milestone for their franchise, it is an honor to continue to grow the partnership between our organizations,” said Chris Poitras SVP & GM of Jostens Professional Sports Division in a news release. “The Chiefs Super Bowl LVII Ring features thoughtful details and incredible craftsmanship. This ring captures their unique championship story and commemorates the team’s third Super Bowl victory.”
“Winning a Super Bowl is the crowning achievement for an NFL club, and the championship ring is the ultimate symbol of the hard work, dedication and sacrifice that it takes from everyone in the organization to reach this pinnacle,” Chiefs President Mark Donovan said. “Our organization has trusted Jostens to create all three of our franchise’s Super Bowl rings, dating back to our first win in Super Bowl IV, as well as our recent win in Super Bowl LIV. "
"From ownership to the players who were consulted in the design process for this year’s Super Bowl LVII ring, we are thrilled with how Jostens brought this meaningful design to life, and we are extremely proud of what this ring represents for every player, coach, and staff member, as well as all of Chiefs Kingdom.”
The Chiefs returned to the Super Bowl stage against the Philadelphia Eagles on February 12th, coming out on top 38-35 to win the third Super Bowl in team history.
Crafted in brilliant 10-karat white and yellow gold, the ring top prominently features the Chiefs logo created from 16 genuine custom-cut rubies set in yellow gold. These rubies represent the number of total division titles that the franchise has won in its history dating all the way back to its first title in 1962.
The arrowhead portion of the logo is set with 50 diamonds, symbolic of the 50th anniversary of the opening of GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. Set behind the logo are three Lombardi Trophies, each of which is set with a marquise diamond at the top. When combined, the baguette diamonds in the base of the Trophies total 16, a nod to the 16 different players who scored touchdowns in the Chiefs 2022 regular season.
The Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl LVII Ring is not only filled with unique details, but it also boasts an impressive stone count. With 609 round diamonds, 16 baguette diamonds, four marquise diamonds and 35 custom-cut genuine rubies totaling approximately 16.10 carats, this ring is fit for World Champions.
