Tampa Bay Lightning receive even glitzier rings for second consecutive Stanley Cup title
The Tampa Bay Lightning, who captured back-to-back Stanley Cup titles, have received championship rings that are even glitzier than their first.
The rings feature 273 round diamonds, 45 custom-cut diamonds, 20 princess-cut diamonds, 30 custom-cut sapphires and 22 tapered-baguette sapphires for a total gem carat weight of approximately 31.67 carats.
Jostens says that’s the largest ring by carat size in the company’s 125-year history. The 2020 championship rings had about 25 carats.
Among the special commemorations:
- A nod to Conn Smythe-winning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy’s five consecutive series-clinching shutouts over two seasons.
- Two images of the Stanley Cup, with images of fans below to celebrate the trophy being won at home in Game 5. The 2020 Cup was won in the Edmonton bubble.
partial breakup of the team. The entire third line – Blake Coleman, Yanni Gourde and Barclay Goodrow – is playing elsewhere, as are Tyler Johnson and David Savard.
The Lightning, also dealing with another injury to star Nikita Kucherov, might find it harder to repeat, but if they pull it off, an even bigger ring could be in store.
