Details, close-up look at rings

The 2024-25 NBA season started Tuesday night, but the Boston Celtics have already won — at least with their new hardware.

The team unveiled massive rings after winning their record-setting 18th championship in June’s NBA Finals against the Dallas Mavericks. The rings feature 15 carats of white diamonds, representing the 15 teams in the Eastern Conference. That’s exactly where the symbolism begins.

The ring, made by Jason of Beverley Hills, also has a removable top that reveals a small replica of the championship banner the Celtics raised Tuesday night before hosting the Knicks in the season opener. The inside of the removable lid contains a small, circular piece of the actual parquet floor on which Boston captured the title.

Each ring is also individually designed with a nameplate on the flank of one side, with the player’s jersey number filled in with diamonds.

However, references everywhere point to Boston’s dominance in the 2023-2024 season. The word “champions” at the bottom of the top of the ring contains 80 diamonds, representing Boston’s total of 80 regular season and playoff wins. The side edge has 84 points of diamonds, which represents the winning percentage in the playoffs (.842). The inside of the shaft shows the details of each play-off series.

Although it was the team’s 18th championship, the 2023-2024 NBA title was the Celtics’ first since the 2007-08 season.
