Andre Caldwell had a solid junior year for the Florida Gators in 2006 hauling in 57 catches for 577 yards and six touchdowns. In the 2006 SEC Championship against the Arkansas Razorbacks the wide receiver even threw a 5-yard TD pass to help his team secure a 38-28 victory. Four weeks later the Gators blew out Ohio State 41-14 in the BCS National Championship to give Urban Meier his first national title and Florida its second in school history.  Played on January 8 2007 at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale AZ with Tostitos as the title sponsor the game marked the BCS's first standalone national title game. (Previously the BCS had rotated the deciding final game among the four major bowls.) Tim Tebow and Coach Meier would win another BCS title two years later for the Gators.

Offered here is Caldwell's 2006 Florida Gators National Champions ring. The 10-karat gold ring is manufactured by Herff Jones and comes in size 12.5 with a bed of CZ's on the face and surrounding edges. Within conglomerate of CZ's is a National Championship trophy with the ball of the trophy filled out with a large CZ. "NATIONAL CHAMPIONS" appears in relief lettering on the perimeter. The left shank displays "13-1" -- the Gator's final record -- on top with the final score of the BCS Championship game at the bottom centered by a detailed image combining the Gators logo and a National Champions banner. The right shank reads "CALDWELL" above an emblem of the Gator's stadium with "THE SWAMP" and "WR" just beneath. Inside the band shows the "HJ" and "10K" marks along with an engraved "A Caldwell" in cursive. The ring shows light to moderate wear and presents beautifully.

It is important to note that National Championship teams in football began receiving two rings in 2002 one from their school dated with the season year and the other from the BCS with the year the National Championship game was actually played. This ring is the one issued by the Florida Gators to players and coaches.
