INNOVATION
To create the aesthetic the Tampa Bay Lightning wanted, Jostens developed a mechanism that enabled the Stanley Cup to lift and turn to reveal a special detail.
The Florida Marlins 2003 World Series Ring featured the first ring with a top that opened at the touch of a button revealing a fully functioning watch inside.
SOME ARE OBLIVIOUS TO IT, OTHERS EMBRACE IT, WE CREATE IT
From the early stages of ring design to the manufacturing process to distribution, we’re experts on the cutting edge of what’s possible, because it happens here first.
In a unique style of championship celebration, the winner of the World Series of Poker is presented with a hand-crafted bracelet adorned with hundreds of diamonds and gemstones. This special piece contains a removable golden poker chip which can be used as a one-of-a-kind card protector.
To celebrate two of their star players in franchise history, the Marlins partnered with Jostens to craft these one-ofa-kind medallions encrusted with stones.
PREMIUM MATERIALS
By owning our own metal refinery and specialty alloys, we’re able to adhere to the strictest of quality standards.
We source only the finest precious metals and stones from exclusive suppliers, all while adhering to the Kimberley Process, which ensures our materials are environmentally friendly and conflict free.
“Our organization takes tremendous pride in our brand and it was crucial that it be accurately represented in our ring. Jostens worked tirelessly to find the perfect green sapphire, found in one of two mines in the entire world. Their dedication to ensuring our expectations were met is a testament to their excellent customer experience.”
- Don Smolenski, President Philadelphia Eagles
The St. Louis Cardinals iconic logo comes to life on the top of their 2011 World Series Ring. The brilliant red of the Cardinal is captured through the use of intricately set custom-cut genuine rubies.
Jostens ongoing commitment to continuously innovate has resulted in truly spectacular ring designs. The 2022 Houston Astros World Series ring is a testament to our pursuit of perfection. Minute Maid Park comes to life in meticulous detail, honoring the home of the Houston Astros.
