RAPAPORT... Jostens designed and hand-crafted the 2013 Stanley Cup ring for the Chicago Blackhawks' victorious season. Master jewelers at Jostens collaborated with the sports team to design these rings that were presented to players during a private ceremony on September 29 in Chicago.
The ring is framed by the words “Stanley Cup” and “Champions” and features the Blackhawks logo fashioned in round brilliant and marquise-cut diamonds with custom-cut tapered rubies set on a background of 14-karat white gold. The total weight of the championship ring is 93.0 grams and includes 260 diamonds and gemstones totaling approximately 14.68 carats. 
The side design features seven baguette-cut rubies and two pear-shaped emeralds set in the shape of the Blackhawks’ secondary logo. This emblem is set against the background of a "C" formed in yellow gold and yellow diamonds. Each ring is personalized with a championship team member’s name and respective number against an antique black background. There are five diamond-studded Stanley Cup trophies set on the opposite side, representing a championship title for the years 1934, 1938, 1961, 2010 and 2013.
"Jostens is proud to have partnered with the Chicago Blackhawks to develop a ring that celebrates the team’s remarkable win and honors their championship history," said Chris Poitras, the director of sports marketing and development at Jostens. "This unique collaboration with the Blackhawks and Jostens master jewelers produced a striking ring design that truly represents the team’s achievements, and features the team’s motto and symbols in a brilliant championship ring."
In addition, the Blackhawks and Jostens created collectible jewelry for the team's loyal fans in the form of rings, pendants, earrings and cufflinks that went on sale beginning September 29.
