This information from the Saints website explains in a bit more detail about the rings:
"The Tiffany & Co. championship rings, presented in Tiffany Blue boxes, are handcrafted in yellow gold featuring the New Orleans Saints Fleur-de-Lis logo set with round diamonds. “World Champions” is bezel set with eight diamonds on the top of the ring. In addition to the Saints’ iconic Fleur-de-Lis, several other notable features of the rings include the personalization of each ring, the images of two New Orleans landmarks, The St. Louis Cathedral in Jackson Square and the Louisiana Superdome, as well as the final score of Super Bowl XLIV (Saints 31-Colts 17), the NFL shield and the first few notes of the song “When The Saints Come Marching In.”
An image of the Saints’ historic Super Bowl parade celebration through New Orleans is also displayed on the rings."
The article did not mention the value of the rings, but the estimated cost is 30,000 per ring. The NFL paid for 150 rings to the organization and the team gave out 219.
The rings just seemed to get everyone geared up again for football season this year and we can't wait to watch our Saints again. The Saints are also raffling off chances to win one of their rings in a fundraiser dedicated to the Gulf relief efforts. You can purchase chances to win the ring online here. The drawing will be held September 9, 2010 at the season opener. You certainly want to be in that number!
And if you still can't get enough of our Superbowl Champs, Tiffany & Co. has an entire line of jewelry and accessories to choose from which is completely dedicated to our team.
