KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Patrick Mahomes won't often wear the championship ring he collected Thursday night for the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl LVII victory. He'll keep it in a safe at home, safely tucked away and out of view.
That doesn't mean he won't cherish it, just as he does the ring commemorating the Chiefs' win in Super Bowl LIV.
"That's what you work for, was to win the Super Bowl and get those rings," Mahomes said before the Chiefs handed out the rings at a private ceremony at Kansas City's Union Station. "They last a lifetime. To be able to see them, I know they've done a great job with them. I got to help out a little bit with the creating process.
"I got to see the process of it and gave some ideas and stuff like that. So they did a great job and they mean [a lot] even with whatever they look like. You get to have them forever and they mean the world. It's cool to be able to have two of them now."
According to Jostens, the company that made the Chiefs' Super Bowl rings, each one contains 613 diamonds — 609 round diamonds and four marquise diamonds — and 35 rubies totaling 16.1 carats.
