How Much Is a Super Bowl Ring Worth? Are Super Bowl Rings Real Diamonds?

The air is filled with electricity as fans anticipate the exciting rematch between the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs. After today’s match, the next big thing everyone will be talking about is the iconic ring bearing the Super Bowl logo. 

Not only are the Super Bowl rings exquisitely studded with flashy gemstones, but are intricately designed to represent the winning team’s essence as well. The rings become an unforgettable memento for the winners of the Bowl and have elaborate features that skyrocket their price to millions. Ahead of the much-awaited match, this is the perfect time to take a look at what the massive flashy ring is worth.

Diamonds that last forever in memories!

Jewelers have free rein over the design of the ring and the number of gems (all authentic) to be embedded. Jewelry companies bid for the chance to make a customized ring, each showcasing their carefully made designs to the winning team. Gold, ruby, platinum, diamonds! Everything is on the table for the design with an aim of commemorating the team’s victory.

The rings often have the winner’s logo in colored jewels and represent the team’s stats with the number of diamonds. The Green Bay Packers‘ ring from the 45th Superbowl had the team’s logo engraved with 13 diamonds, representing the number of championship titles they had won.

Each ring can cost anywhere from $30,000 to $50,000, of which $5,000 is contributed by the NFL for each ring. Considering how lavish the rings have become through the years, the additional cost has to be paid by the team and is deducted from their winning paycheck.

Chiefs’ Super Bowl Ring from last year

As Kansas City gears up to defend their title this time, the memory of their red, gold and silver ring still remains fresh in fans’ memories. Displayed on the Chiefs’ official website, the ring contained a whopping 613 diamonds in total. It also contained 16 rubies in the logo depicting the number of division titles won and 3 marquise cut diamonds embedded above, symbolizing the number of Super Bowl titles won by the team. It also had a fan homage as the words, ‘Chiefs Kingdom’ on the side, along with an iconic quote of founder Lamar Hunt etched, “Arrowhead stadium is my favorite place on earth.”

Manufactured by the Jostens, who have designed the most rings for the championship so far. The ring’s personalized design was met with excitement from the team, especially Patrick Mahomes, tweeting a picture with the ring.

Only one question remains now: which team will get their personalized rings this year? Will the Chiefs successfully defend their title, or will the San Francisco 49ers avenge their previous defeat?
