The multi-layered 2021 NBA championship rings were given out during the Bucks’ season opener at Fiserv Forum on Tuesday, where they beat the Brooklyn Nets 127-104. The rings, made by Jason of Beverly Hills, feature a handful of nods to the Bucks’ and Milwaukee's history.

The ring has 360 diamonds on the top to represent the total wins since ownership purchased the team. Additionally, there are 16 emerald-shaped diamonds on the left side, representing the 16 playoff wins during the 2021 NBA Playoffs, with another 16 emerald-shaped diamonds on the right side for the 16 division titles in team history.

In total, the Bucks said there are approximately 4.14cts of emeralds, representing the 414 Milwaukee area code. The 50 round stones on the inner bezel highlight the 50 years since the team’s last championship win.

The Bucks even have the option to wear their rings around their necks. The rings feature a removable top, as well as a special loop that can turn the ring top into a necklace, and a QR code that goes to a video highlighting Milwaukee's historic run.

“We wanted to once again rewrite the rules of what a championship ring should be,” CEO of Jason of Beverly Hills, Jason Arasheben said in a statement. “We sought to create something that had a bit more versatility than rings of the past. As championship rings have gotten bigger, they have become less and less practical to wear. We addressed this by developing a push button system that allows the players to wear the top of the ring as a pendant, making it a piece of jewelry they can wear every day around their finger or on their neck to celebrate their tremendous season.”

There are loads of additional details in the rings; there are two trophies on the inside shank to represent the two franchise championships, and Fiserv Forum’s architecture is also featured on the side of the ring. The NBA Larry O’Brien Trophy on the face of the ring is made up of a signature batch of 65.3% purity yellow gold, representing the season winning percentage.

Additionally, approximately 3cts of stones on the shank represent the three conference championships in Bucks history. Arasheben also noted the approximately 0.53cts on the World Champions wording on the ring represents the total years the Bucks have been in existence.

“We are thrilled with the spectacular and incredibly detailed Championship ring designed by Jason of Beverly Hills,” Bucks and Fiserv Forum President Peter Feigin said. “The ring vividly tells the story of the Bucks history and stunningly celebrates our 2021 NBA Championship. We thank Jason and his team for creating such a remarkable ring that the Bucks will wear proudly and cherish forever.”
