The 2006 Grey Cup Championship Ring
The 10-carat, 60g, ‘Championship-sized’ rings include
38 round diamonds divided between each side, 21 round diamonds on the
Lions logo and five large marquise diamonds – one on each of the five
Grey Cups depicted on the ring’s top. The visible portions of two
trophies include eight more diamonds bringing the total diamond weight
to 1.75 carats.
Each player ring is customized with a name, position and number on one
side and includes the unique orange helmet the club wore in the victory
last November as well as an XV insignia representing the team’s 15
wins in 2006. The other side features the score from last season’s
final, the Vancouver skyline and the CFL logo.
The 2000 Grey Cup Champions Ring
Made by Intergold, the Calgary-based company which has produced championship rings for the NBA, NCAA, WNBA and
CFL. The rings weigh about 40 grams each (a typical gold wedding band is 7-8
grams).
Lion players Jamie Taras, Damon Allen and retiring Lui
Passaglia participated in the design process. Each ring will have 43
separate diamonds, weighing about 1.20 carats in total. Intergold
president Miran Amutlu believes they will be unique in another respect.
The diamonds were produced at the new Ekati mine in the Northwest
Territories, which would make the Lions the first team to wear
all-Canadian championship rings.
