On Tuesday night, prior the team’s thorough thrashing of the New Orleans Pelicans, the Golden State Warriors received their hard-earned championship rings. Needless to say, the Warriors likely spent a lot of dough on these babies.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the team did not disclose how many of these rings were made, nor the ring’s cost. However, the ring does include some really neat details once one stops being blinded by the bling.
The Bay Bridge logo on the ring is made of 67 percent gold to reflect the number of wins that the team earned during the 2014-15 regular season. The ring sports 240 stones to match the number of wins that the Warriors accrued under the current ownership of Joe Lacob leading up to the team’s most recent championship. The ring also has sixteen princess stones which symbolize the number of playoff wins that the Warriors needed to win the NBA Finals. Lastly, each of the players’ rings has four fluorescent diamonds inserted in them that are only visible under black light. The four diamonds refer to the number of championships that the Warriors franchise has won in league history.
Most importantly, the rings look absolutely amazing. Still, with as many gems as the jewelry has in it, it’s probably best to keep that ring on a mantle somewhere. It looks heavy.
