Chiefs receive Super Bowl rings loaded with diamonds, but keep focus forward

The Kansas City Chiefs are eyeing history in 2024, but before they head out on their summer break, they had one last celebration for what they accomplished in 2023.

Members of the Chiefs received their Super Bowl championship rings in a private ceremony at Kansas City's Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art on Thursday. More than 400 rings were handed out at the ceremony, with each being personalized while also celebrating the franchise's history.

The rings, which were made by Josten jewelers, each have 529 diamonds, 38 rubies and 14.8 carats worth of gems, and were created in 10-karat white and yellow gold. The ring tops have the Chiefs' arrowhead logo, which was shaped from 16 custom-cut rubies, representing the number of division titles the franchise has won. The arrowhead is fashioned in yellow gold and set with 50 diamonds. In the foreground of the ring top, the Chiefs' four Super Bowl trophies are outlined. The left side of the ring top has the word "WORLD" and the right side has "CHAMPIONS."

"Back-to-back" is embezzled on one side of the ring, along with the Super Bowl LVIII logo and the final score of the game. The other side is personalized to feature the recipient's name and position. Additionally, that side includes the four years the Chiefs have won the Super Bowl (1969, 2019, 2022, 2023). That side also includes an outline of GEHA Stadium. 

There are several other unique details on the ring. The game-winning play, "Tom and Jerry," of Super Bowl LVIII is outlined with Andy Reid's handwriting inside the ring top. "Loud" and "142.2" are also inscribed into the rings to represent Chiefs Kingdom. There are 22 sequential diamonds to represent the number of points the Chiefs scored in the second half and overtime of the
