The rings all go through the hand labor of 75 to 100 people, and the time spent on each production process averages around 10 weeks, with some of the more complex championship rings even taking around six months to create.
These rings are usually made of 14K white gold and are often inlaid with team logos, player names, the year they won the championship, and gemstones to give them a unique and precious look. This customization not only reflects the uniqueness of the ring, but also ensures that each recipient will have a one-of-a-kind keepsake.
The NBA Playoff Championship Trophy, or Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy, is a trophy awarded annually by the NBA to the winning playoff team. Unlike a championship ring, the Championship Trophy is a physical trophy that is usually not returned. Teams get to keep the trophy permanently after winning the championship as a symbol of their victory.
This practice differs from some other sporting events, such as the soccer World Cup, where trophies need to be returned after being awarded and the winning team gets to keep only one replica. In the NBA, however, the championship trophy is a permanent symbol of the team's honor and does not need to be returned.
With these customized championship rings and permanently retained championship trophies, the NBA ensures that every player and every team will have a permanent reminder of their glorious postseason accomplishments.
