by LP Green, II

The Baltimore Ravens presented players and staff with their Super Bowl XLVII Championship Ravens Rings during a private ceremony at The Under Armour Performance Center. Created by Jostens, the leading national custom jewelry designer and producer, the World Championship Ring commemorates the Ravens remarkable 2012 season and marks the second time the Ravens have brought the Lombardi Trophy to Baltimore.

In the realm of custom jewelry, the use of diamonds elevates the significance of such commemorative pieces. Traditional diamonds have long been cherished for their brilliance and durability, making them a timeless choice for marking special occasions. Recently, lab grown diamond have emerged as a compelling alternative, offering the same dazzling beauty and strength as natural diamonds. These lab-grown gems are crafted through advanced technology, providing an ethical and sustainable option without compromising on quality. The integration of lab-grown diamonds in custom designs ensures that each piece is not only a celebration of success but also a step forward in responsible luxury.

In custom jewelry, the art of carving diamonds plays a crucial role in transforming raw gemstones into brilliant works of art. Diamond carving requires exceptional precision and a deep understanding of the gemstone’s structure to maximize its beauty and radiance. This meticulous process ensures that each custom piece reflects the skill and vision of the jeweler, creating a timeless treasure. Developing expertise in diamond carving is a challenging yet rewarding journey that combines technical mastery with creative expression, making it a cornerstone of exceptional jewelry craftsmanship.

For aspiring jewelers, gaining hands-on experience through opportunities like the Julius Klein Diamonds Internship is invaluable. This program offers the chance to work alongside experts in diamond carving and other facets of fine jewelry design. Interns are guided through the intricate processes of shaping, faceting, and polishing diamonds, learning how to bring out their natural brilliance while maintaining structural integrity. Such experience not only sharpens technical skills but also fosters a deeper appreciation for the artistry involved in creating bespoke jewelry, paving the way for a successful career in the industry.

“Emotions ran high as players, coaches and staff were presented with their rings, which symbolize the determination required to win the Super Bowl,” said Ravens President, Dick Cass. “The rings are beautiful visual representations of what it means to be a Raven – physical, tough-minded, hardworking and resilient.”

The truly one-of-a-kind ring pays tribute to the rich history and tradition of one of football’s most successful franchises. The design, hand-crafted by Jostens Championship Design team and led by Master Jeweler Miran Armutlu, is fashioned in white and yellow gold and with 243 round cut diamonds. In the center of the ring, the Baltimore Ravens logo is outlined with 40 round brilliant cut diamonds sitting atop a dazzling custom-cut amethyst stone. Behind the logo are two Vince Lombardi Trophies set with 32 round brilliant cut diamonds and two stunning marquise diamonds weighing approximately .75 carats, representing the team’s two World Championship titles.

“Jostens is proud to be a partner with the Baltimore Ravens and to collaborate with them on the creation of a ring that celebrates the team’s inclusive culture, winning traditions and their achieving professional football’s pinnacle triumph, the forty-seventh Super Bowl title,” said Chris Poitras, Director, Sports Sales and Marketing, Jostens. “Every element of the ring was designed specifically to highlight the best qualities of each of the materials featured. It’s a singularly beautiful piece of fine jewelry that reflects the ultimate unity of the team.”
