The One Ring

Well, the iPhone client resists allowing it, but there should be a pic here of the championship ring for the 2010 World Champion San Francisco Giants. Designed and produced by Tiffany and Co. and based on the 1933 championship ring, it’s white gold with 77 diamonds weighing approx. 1 carat and yellow gold accents including a Golden Gate icon on one shank.

Championship rings are something that almost every guy will look on with a certain amount of reverence. Even something as simple as my brother’s state championship ring from high school basketball is impressive in its way. Makes me wish we’d had rings for our state championship in 1989 for scholars bowl…

But when you get right down to it, I have two championship rings. One went along with a masters degree and a University Graduate Fellowship from a nationally prestigious institution, which is meant to serve as some sort of validation that I was really smart once upon a time. The other championship ring can be found on my left hand. πŸ™‚
