Knicks Unveil 2026 Championship Ring With Nearly 800 Gems

The New York Knicks have unveiled their 2026 championship ring, featuring nearly 800 diamonds and sapphires, intricate tributes to the team's title-winning season and a mechanical miniature of Madison Square Garden. Created by luxury jeweler Jason of Beverly Hills in collaboration with Knicks leadership, the ring was revealed during the team's championship celebration before its Opening Night game at Madison Square Garden on October 20, 2026.

According to the announcement published by Business Wire, the white gold ring contains gemstones totaling 22 carats. Its design incorporates the Knicks' blue and orange colors through white diamonds and blue sapphires, alongside details commemorating the team's playoff victories, championship roster and decisive moments from the season.

The centerpiece is a mechanical feature that raises a miniature recreation of Madison Square Garden's exterior when activated. The ring's body also twists open to reveal a miniature version of the arena's lower seating bowl, while the underside of its removable top reproduces the distinctive ceiling architecture of the venue.

Jason Arasheben, founder and CEO of Jason of Beverly Hills, said the design aimed to match the significance of the franchise and its championship season.

"We felt the pressure to create something truly revolutionary, worthy of an iconic franchise and a city as passionate about basketball as New York, while translating the defining moments of the Knicks’ championship run into an extraordinary piece of design. Bringing Madison Square Garden to life through the ring’s innovative moving mechanisms was central to that vision, and we’re proud to have partnered with the Knicks to create a piece of history that will stand the test of time," said Jason Arasheben, founder and CEO of Jason of Beverly Hills.

Additional details connect the jewelry directly to the team's championship campaign. The numbers of players on the championship roster encircle the top, and each player's ring carries an individual surname above a diamond-encrusted jersey number.

The championship side displays the 2026 title year, playoff series results and the Larry O'Brien Trophy. A 0.16-carat round diamond set into the trophy commemorates the Knicks' 16-point comeback against San Antonio in the championship-clinching game, according to the announcement.

Sixteen emerald-cut diamonds line the inner bezel, representing the team's 16 postseason victories. The words "WORLD CHAMPIONS" feature 69 points of round white diamonds, referencing the Knicks' 69 combined wins during their championship season.

The inner shank bears the engraving "KNICKS IN FIVE," marking the team's five-game Finals victory over San Antonio. Another inscription, "10 WEEKS," recalls the team's stated championship-season mantra centered on sacrifice, discipline and focus.

The unveiling followed uncertainty surrounding the ring's design. In an article published October 20, 2026, NorthJersey.com reported that the Knicks had not publicly disclosed the designer or construction details ahead of the ceremony. Social media activity from Jason of Beverly Hills, including an image of Madison Square Garden illuminated in blue and orange, had prompted speculation about the jeweler's involvement.

Jason of Beverly Hills has operated its championship-ring division since 2009 and says it has produced championship jewelry across the NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL and WNBA. Examples of its previous work include rings for the Philadelphia Eagles, New York Liberty, Boston Celtics, Texas Rangers, Denver Nuggets, Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers, according to the company's website.

The jeweler has also introduced a championship collection for Knicks fans, offering six commemorative products, including rings, pendants and other accessories. The collection includes a limited-edition Knicks Premier Championship Ring inspired by the players' version. The release is limited to 200 pieces and carries a listed price of $19,995, according to the company's announcement.
