The 2021-22 NBA champions unveiled and distributed their championship rings ahead of their season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers, and the jewelry was indeed gaudy enough for a team with four rings in eight years. The rings were designed by Jason of Beverly Hills.
The rings feature approximately 16 carats of yellow and white diamonds set into yellow gold to represent the team’s 16 wins during the 2022 NBA Playoffs, marking the first time a Championship ring has been made up primarily of yellow diamonds. Seven carats of yellow cushion cut diamonds on the bezel represent the team’s seven championships, while 43 baguettes in the bridge represent Stephen Curry’s 43-point performance in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
The novel feature of the ring is a secret compartment that opens to show a collection of trophies reflecting each player's personal count of championships. So, four for Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and Andre Iguodala, three for Kevon Looney and one for everyone else.
Other features of the ring include architectural features of the Chase Center on the side, the game scores of each series in their playoff run, seven Larry O'Brien trophies, the team's "Just Us" mantra and an Oracle Arena pattern on the underside of the ring.
And, because no ring — especially a Warriors ring — is complete without some trash talk, the Celtics' parquet floor, on which the team won the ring in the first place.
