Atlanta Braves receive World Series rings featuring 18.71-karat white gold, 755 diamonds, and yes, pearls

ATLANTA — The Braves finally have their bling, and yes, pearls are involved.

Just prior to the first pitch of Saturday night's game against the Cincinnati Reds at Truist Park, members of Atlanta's front office, coaching staff and roster were given their World Series rings celebrating last season's championship.

In all, 24 current players received rings for their efforts as part of the 2021 team.

«It's something that you dream about,» Braves manager Brian Snitker said earlier this week. «Not everybody gets the chance to experience that. So I'm going to cherish every second of the thing because you're never guaranteed for this to happen again.»

Atlanta's Game 6 win over the Houston Astros last November clinched the organization's fourth World Series trophy, and second since the team moved to Atlanta in 1966. The Braves had last won the World Series in 1995.

During Saturday's pregame ceremony, ring recipients walked from the Braves dugout onto a red carpet that led to a stage that had been positioned in front of the pitcher's mound. Each of the rings came inside a black box.

Each ring prominently features the Braves' «A» logo, and it is comprised of contrasting 18.71-karat white gold, a nod to the franchise's founding in 1871.

The ring features a removable top. Upon opening, it lights up with micro-LED lights and illuminates a miniature Truist Park that's positioned inside the ring. The interior ballpark features the No. 44 on its outfield grass, in recognition of a tribute the actual ballpark had all season following the death of Hall of Famer Hank Aaron earlier in the year.
