The player rings start out with 108 round diamonds on the top bezel. It’s no coincidence that the number matches the 108 years between World Series Championships. The Cubs logo is done with 33 red rubies, which are surrounded by and 72 round diamonds and 46 blue sapphires.

Moving onto the sides, one is customized with the player’s name and number. The team’s “Fly the W” flag is filled in with another 31 diamonds. The Wrigley Field ivy and brick wall are also imprinted on the side.

The other side of the Chicago Cubs 2016 World Series rings has the Wrigley marquee along with the World Series trophy. A large diamond sits in the middle of the trophy while a pair of princess cut diamonds are on either side.

No part of the ring, which is molded in white gold, is left empty. The bottom reads, “We never quit,” the team’s motto throughout the 2016 season. On the inside, there’s the date and time of the final out, the logos of the teams they beat in the postseason and each series’ details. And, yes, there’s even a silhouette of the Wrigley Goat, which had apparently cursed the team for decades.

Jostens designed and made the 2016 World Series rings. They have several styles of replicas for sale that range from a few hundred dollars all the way up to the 108 Fan Ring that has a price tag of $10,800.

I have to admit, it looks amazing.

It looks nice, but sounds a bit ridiculous with how packed it is with gems. It was nice to see another LONG championship drought ended though.

Now I want to see Cleveland end their nearly 70-year drought. But there are still 2 current teams that have never even made it to the World Series (Mariners and Expos/Nationals) and 6 more that still haven't won one.

It is pretty awesome, and I don't care for jewelry at all outside of watches.

Same here, but rarely would I call one of my watches jewelry! I guess I just get cheap watches. I did have a very nice Fossil watch a while back, but I mostly just get a $20-40 watch and wear it until the band breaks or the gears wear out. I don't do metal bands b/c I don't like having my wrist hairs ripped out one-by-one. Most of the watches that I would consider to be jewelry would have a metal band. Or a watch with a gem inside the face and I've never had one of those b/c I see no need to get one.
