After a painstaking Game 7 loss in the 2014 World Series to San Francisco, the Kansas City Royals got refocused and made it all the way back to the Fall Classic in 2015. This time, facing the New York Mets, they were not to be denied, winning their first World Championship in 30 years. A balanced, team-effort with timely hitting, aggressive base-running and a dominant bullpen was the recipe for success. A largely home-grown roster of maturing talent led by Eric Hosmer, Lorenzo Cain, and Salvador Perez had blossomed into World Champions under Manager Ned Yost. Offered here is a spectacular 2015 World Series 14-karat yellow and white gold ring.
The elegant ring has 115 diamonds for a total of 2.5 carats. The team’s "KC" logo is spelled out in 31 custom-cut blue created sapphires outlined in yellow gold on the face, set atop a bed of 14K white gold and 41 round brilliant-cut diamonds. The words "WORLD CHAMPIONS" frame the top and bottom in yellow gold with an additional 16 round brilliant-cut diamonds on each side. The sides are lined with the team’s crown logo in 14K yellow gold with a gold satin finish. 30 round white diamonds that adorn the top of the crown, while 30 princess-cut created sapphires sit behind the crown. One shank features "Bertozzo" atop a silhouetted Kaufman Stadium overlaid with the Royals and MLB logo. The other shank has "2015" spelled out in yellow gold and 23 round brilliant-cut diamonds, set above a baseball diamond and World Series trophy flanked by two large princess-cut created sapphires for 1st and 3rd base that represent the team's back-to-back A.L. Pennants. The five diamonds on the bottom of the trophy represent the five runs Kansas City scored in the top of the 12th inning in their Game 5 clinching victory over the Mets. Inside the band is the team logo engraved with "CROWNED BACK TO BACK A.L. CHAMPS" and each of the three postseason series results in 2015, along with "Jostens 14K.”
The ring comes in size 10 and weighs 70 grams, presenting in nearly pristine condition with no sign of wear. It is housed in its original black Jostens presentation box (mint), an elegant design with two internal spotlights and a glass top etched "Royals 2015 World Champions."
