The St. Louis Blues Show Off Their Fancy Championship Rings Following Last Season’s Stanley Cup Win

The St. Louis Blues received their first-ever championship rings on Monday night in a private ceremony ahead of what should be a very challenging trophy defense. And squad members can now show off some fancy jewelry commemorating their amazing run to the Stanley Cup last season.

The rings are made of 14-karat white and yellow gold and bear several subtle designs that detail the incredible journey that ended with them lifting the most coveted prize in the NHL. There are 16 sapphires on each ring, denoting the number of playoff wins needed to win the cup. A collection of 75 diamonds make up the number of goals the team scored during the postseason and an engraving that reads ”PLAY GLORIA” is on the bottom, signifying the team’s adopted theme song.

The team will put replica versions of their championship rings up for sale so fans could get in on the act too. However, only 139 “fan rings” will be available; the number represents the combination of jerseys of the players who scored the coals in the decisive Game 7 against the Boston Bruins.

“The Blues journey to become Stanley Cup Champions for the first time was nothing short of extraordinary, and we wanted to honour that story through an equally incredible ring,” Chris Poitras, Vice President and Chief Operations Officer of Jostens Professional Sports Division (who made the rings), said.

“This ring celebrates not only the Blues but also the city of St. Louis and the dedicated fans that have supported them. We strived to capture that relationship in design of the ring; using diamonds and genuine sapphires, the story of the Blues and St. Louis comes to life through the ring’s unique details and intricate storytelling.”

Despite their remarkable achievement last term, the Blues aren’t favored to win the Cup again.
