ABOUT THE HALL OF FAME RING OF EXCELLENCE

The spectacular Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence is set in 14K gold with a total diamond weight of 1.75 carats. It is much more than a beautiful piece of jewelry, however. Intricate details on the ring reflect the special significance of enshrinement.

• The outer diamonds create a “stadium” effect surrounding the football-shaped diamond center.
• The vibrant blue gemstone was selected both for appearance and meaning, as blue is often associated with confidence, power and integrity – all traits of these incredible, legendary football icons.
• Each Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence is customized to reflect the Enshrinee’s unique career. A likeness of his Bronzed Bust, along with his position and years in the NFL, appear on one side, while his last name, the Pro Football Hall of Fame logo and year of enshrinement are included on the other.
• Additionally, a special arbormark (or engraving) appears on the inside of the ring which is the Enshrinee’s number among the 371 members of the Hall of Fame.
