A beautifully designed ring crafted by Jason of Beverly Hills for the Vegas Golden Knight
The Vegas Golden Knights celebrated their 2023 Stanley Cup victory by receiving special championship rings at a ceremony on Sunday.
Collaboration with Jason of Beverly Hills
The ceremony took place at Wynn Las Vegas, and all players, coaches, and hockey staff got their rings. These rings were made in partnership with Jason of Beverly Hills, known for creating championship rings for teams like the Golden State Warriors and Las Vegas Aces.
Extravagant Design of the Rings
Golden Knights owner Bill Foley was impressed, saying, “I knew Jason of Beverly Hills could make a unique ring that represents our city and this amazing season. They exceeded expectations, and I’m sure our players, staff, and fans will treasure it.”
The rings, in true Las Vegas style, are extravagant. They have a removable top that can be worn as a pendant, with the words “It’s Knight Time” on the back. Underneath the top is a replica of T-Mobile Arena, the team’s home rink, with the 2023 Stanley Cup Final center ice logo. Small stars mark where they scored their nine goals in the Cup-clinching Game 5.
Diamond Details and Symbolism
These rings shine with about 12 carats of white and yellow diamonds. There are 67 white diamonds on the Knights’ logo, representing their wins in the regular season and playoffs. Another 32 diamonds on the inner bezel stand for the NHL’s 32 teams. The 0.54 carats of diamonds on the Stanley Cup pay tribute to the team’s 54 playoff wins.
Six stones around the diamond Stanley Cup represent the six seasons since they joined the NHL in 2017-18. These stones form a star shape, honoring the “Vegas Strong” banner from 2017, which remembered the victims of the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival shooting.
Memorializing Vegas Strong and Team Slogans
The rings also feature team slogans, “Vegas Born” and “Always Advance,” and depict the Las Vegas skyline. Inside the band, there’s another slogan: “Cup in Six,” referencing Bill Foley’s prediction before their first season, which came true six years later.
The team makes 50 rings for the public, almost identical to the players’ rings, priced at $75,000 each.
Upcoming Banner Raising Ceremony
On Tuesday, the Golden Knights will raise their 2023 Stanley Cup championship banner while hosting the Seattle Kraken.
