Eagles Super Bowl LII rings revealed and they are beautiful

By Josh Liddick, Sports Talk Philly editor 

OK. Wow.

On Thursday night during a special ceremony, the Super Bowl LII Champion Philadelphia Eagles received their Super Bowl rings, four months after winning the team's first championship in franchise history.

Before going any further, just take a look for yourself.

Yeah, that's one beautiful rock right there.

Thanks to the Eagles and owner Jeffrey Lurie, he goes in-depth behind the process of creating the rings, before giving them to the players on Thursday night.

“It was a fun process and it took waaaayyy more hours than I thought previously,” Lurie said. “I thought, ‘You know, you just sort of come up with some ring, and you make many, and you have a party.’ I never really thought of the details that were required. You go through so much during a season. What, when you’re looking back 20 years from now, do you want to have signified with that ring? What are the statements that you want to make about the team, about the season, about the kinds of players and coaches that we had? It’s kind of like, how do you want to be remembered 20 years from now?"

“For the people putting the ring on, I want them to feel a sense of pride and a love for the process. Pride in that they are a World Champion and an acknowledgment that this process, the entire season, was so much hard work, resilience, love for each other, and a sense of passion for the game. Nothing got in the way of this team. Nothing from the outside, injuries … it did not matter. Very, very few teams in any sport have lost their best player at the game’s most important position and won. It’s almost unheard of."

The article continues to go on explaining the diamonds and all the odds-and-ends of what the ring is made of. If one word can describe these rings, it's gotta be "spectacular."

We still have to wait and see if replicas of the rings will be made for fans to purchase somewhere down the line. According to an Eagles' staff member in the organization, non-player personnel within the team were offered a chance to get a ring, but for a cost of $750. Nice gesture, but most teams who win championships typically get the ring for free after working with the team during the year.
