About Platinum Jewelry

Platinum is the ideal choice for red carpet jewelry because it holds diamonds and precious gemstones more securely than any other metal. It is not only the highest quality metal, but its density makes it one of the most durable and enduring precious metals. Platinum is also naturally white, unlike white gold, which means it will not cast any tint onto a diamond or gemstone, allowing the stone’s genuine color to sparkle brightly.

Boston Bruins Reveal Championship Ring Details

October 7, 2011 By Leave a Comment

On Tuesday, October 4, 2011 the Boston Bruins unveiled their 2011 Stanley Cup Championship rings, created by Jostens. The Bruins 2011 Stanley Cup ring symbolizes the team’s 6th NHL Championship, celebrating each player that participated in the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals and the dramatic game seven victory over the Vancouver Canucks in Vancouver on June 15. The ring also pays tribute to the rich legacy of one of hockey’s “Original Six” franchises through well-known symbols and events from the team’s history.

The crest of the Boston Bruins 2011 Stanley Cup ring features diamond set images of the iconic Boston Bruins “B” logo and the Stanley Cup, fashioned in brilliant cut custom princess, princess and round diamonds set against a background of 14 kt. white gold. There are six larger round diamonds on the crest of the ring that represent the six Stanley Cups that the Bruins have won. The diamond-covered top of the ring is framed on the left side by “STANLEY CUP” and on the right side by “CHAMPIONS” to record the Bruins’ 2011 achievement.

One shoulder is personalized with a player’s last name and sweater number against an antique black background. The side includes an image of the Bruins secondary “Bruins Bear” logo, which is surrounded by six stones honoring the Bruins as one of the “Original Six” professional hockey franchises.

The opposite shoulder of each ring features a diamond-studded Stanley Cup framed on top by “2011″ in gold and diamonds, which represents this year’s team and the first Stanley Cup that the Bruins have won under the leadership of the Jacobs family. The years ’72, ’70, ’41, ’39 and ’29 also frame the cup and connect this year’s team to the earlier championship teams that helped build the Bruins into one of the most storied franchises in sports.

Intricate and custom engraving on the inside of each ring enhances the distinct and one-of-a-kind design. The playoff slogan that decorated the locker room during the championship run, “FULL 60+ TO HISTORY,” is on one side while the other shows the National Hockey League shield and the four playoff opponent’s logos and series scores of the games the Bruins won en route to the Stanley Cup.

The Boston Bruins Stanley Cup Championship Collections are available at www.jostens.com/bruins.
