Description
2009 Los Angeles Lakers NBA Championship Ring with High-Tech Original Display Case. With five NBA Championships between the years of 2000 and 2010, the Los Angeles Lakers find no competition for its stature as the greatest modern dynasty in American sports. Presented here is the glorious symbol of that dynasty's fourth trip to the mountain top, and the fifteenth in the franchise's illustrious history. Not an expense was spared nor a corner cut when crafting the award, a staggeringly opulent ring with enough flash to make a major label rapper blush. Stamped and tested at fifteen karat gold, the ring boasts 148 round brilliant-cut diamonds with a total carat weight of 2.75, and the ring a gross weight of 71.6 grams.The Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy appears in miniature on the ring face along with the "Lakers" logo, set against a background of wall-to-wall diamonds. "2009 World Champions" balances at the perimeter in raised text. The left shank features an image of the LA skyline, the year "09" and the regular season record of "65-17." The name "Barraza" at top of the left shank is that of our consignor, the gentleman who won a raffle after purchasing a $100 ticket to benefit the Los Angeles Lakers Youth Foundation. The right shank lists the results of each Playoff series, with a roman numeral "XV" keeping count of franchise Championships. The band measures 11.5, and is stamped "JBH-396, 15k" inside.
Even the original display case is something truly special here, a shiny black wood and leather creation holding a battery-operated mechanism which makes the ring rotate slowly at the center as two LED spotlights shine down from the open lid. An engraved brass plaque is affixed to the front. Condition of ring and box is Mint.
