Chicago Cubs got their BLINGY World Series rings, which are worth more than your car

Ah, lovely.

Oh, hello. I didn’t see you there, I was too busy admiring the shiny rock that is the Cubs’ World Series ring.

The Cubs just got their rings in today. Yes, you may think, huh, that took forever. But every detail on them is so perfect.

The outside’s got the W flag, Wrigley Field with the sign reading “Cubs Win!” and of course the Commissioner’s Trophy.

There’s more than that, though. The rings are 14-karat white gold, and those diamonds around the logo there? There are 108 white diamonds — for the 108 years it took for the team to win the World Series again. Directly next to the ‘Cubs’, which is made of rubies, there are more white diamonds, and also blue sapphires. Yes, all the stones are real.

On the outside opposite of the bevel is the Cubs’ famous saying, “WE NEVER QUIT!”

The outside’s got all the bling and symbols, but the inside of each ring is pretty important, too. On the left is the date and time the Cubs won the series. On the right is the full series record, just in case anyone wants to look back and check on the lead the Indians blew.

Finally, on the opposite side, the part that goes underneath your finger when you’re wearing it, is a tiny engraved goat. The Curse of the Goat is finally over.

So what’s the total on all the gems in these things?

“The ring contains 214 diamonds at 5.5 karats, 3 karats of genuine red rubies and 2.5 karats of genuine sapphires,” according to The Chicago Tribune.

That’s 33 rubies total, plus 46 sapphires.

They’re worth about $70K each. This isn’t even the most weighty World Series ring we’ve seen, though.

The Marlins 2003 World Series team had 228 diamonds, 13 rubies, plus one “rare teal diamond.” Those rings were also, of course, 14-karat gold.

Another time, Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria gave shortstop Hanley Ramirez a chain with 394 diamonds in it to honor his 2009 National League batting title. NBD.

Some baseball bling isn’t worth so much, though.

The 1984 Detroit Tigers gave relief pitcher Bill Scherrer a ring worth less than everyone else’s. Back then, not all rings were made the same value, just like postseason salaries. That year, the players voted to decide who got what.

The New York Times reported that Scherrer ended up with a ring with glass instead of a diamond, and the whole thing was worth $90 to $250, based on an appraisal.

How times change.
