The rings, from Jason of Beverly Hills, include a number of unique details to commemorate the Warriors’ fourth title in eight seasons, and seventh overall.
According to Jason of Beverly Hills, this is the first championship ring that primarily uses yellow diamonds, a choice made because it represents “this organization’s golden age.”

Additionally, the “0.91 carats of white diamonds on the inner bezel represent the Warriors’ 91% home winning percentage in the 2022 playoffs.” The Warriors went 11-1 at Chase…
