This bling is a slam dunk.
The New York Knicks raised their banners and were presented with their 2026 NBA championship rings during the 2026-2027 season home opener game tonight against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Designed by Jason Arasheben of Jason of Beverly Hills, the jewelry is covered in nearly 800 diamonds and blue sapphires totaling 22 carats, all set in white gold.
At the center of the design is a one-of-a-kind mechanism that raises “a miniature re-creation of Madison Square Garden’s iconic exterior with a simple turn,” per a press release from the brand. The design twists open to reveal a detailed miniature recreation of the arena’s lower bowl, while the underside of the removable ring top recreates the Garden’s distinctive ceiling architecture.
The ring “was designed to capture the team’s identity and the defining moments of its title run,” Arasheben told Page Six Style exclusively.
There are tons of other personalized details, too; Player jersey numbers wrap around the top representing the championship roster and a 0.16-carat round diamond represents the Knicks’ 16-point comeback in Game 5, 16 emerald-cut diamonds line the inner bezel representing the team’s postseason victories.
Engraved on the shank is the phrase “Knicks in five” and another phrase, “10 weeks,” which “references the team’s mantra: a commitment to 10 weeks of sacrifice, discipline and complete focus on winning a championship.”
The jeweler is known for his championship sparklers; he’s created dozens of personalized designs including, most recently, the Stanley Cup championship rings for the Carolina Hurricanes. He’s also crafted bespoke designs for the NFL, WNBA, MLB and more, as well as a one-of-a-kind design for Tom Brady’s Netflix roast.
“What makes this ring unique from others I’ve created is how every detail — from the combination of round brilliant and emerald-cut diamonds with radially set blue sapphires to the individual player tributes and championship milestones — tells a story that is distinctly New York Knicks,” Arasheben said.
The story of the 2026 Knickerbockers is certainly one worth remembering: They won 13 consecutive playoff games, just two short of the NBA record, to end the franchise’s 53-year drought.
The team beat out the San Antonio Spurs in Game 5, following nail-biter performances punctuated with memorable moments like OG Anunoby’s Game 4 tip-in and Brunson’s memorable 45-point run in the clincher.
Superfans who wish to get themselves a piece of history can get in on the fun: a limited-edition design inspired by the championship ring is now available to purchase for a cool $20,000 with other baubles in the collection ranging from $299 to $15,995.
Now, the orange and blue fights another year.
