The hidden meaning in each element of the Red Sox 2018 World Series rings

The Red Sox got their new bling at their 2019 home opener at Fenway Park, with Jostens unveiling the team's 2018 World Series championship rings on Tuesday.

The rings were crafted in 14-karat white gold, and Jostens said they're "arguably one of the richest in symbolism and storytelling ever made."

There are 21 custom-cut genuine rubies that form the iconic "B" logo, representing the four World Series tittles won by the Red Sox in the 17 seasons of FSG ownership.

That logo is surrounded by 22 custom-cut blue sapphires, symbolizing the team's 14 postseason games played and the eight home runs hit during the World Series alone.

Seven princess-cut diamonds accent each side of the ring top, with the 14 channel-set diamonds symbolic of the total number of American League pennants the team has won since its establishment in 1901.

There's a cascade of 128 diamonds in two rows on the side of the ring, honoring the 119 franchise-record wins in 2018 and the nine World Series titles held by the Red Sox.

The left side of the ring displays eight pennants for the years of previous World Series titles, while the ninth and largest pays tribute to the 2018 campaign's accomplishment.

Then, 100 individually weathered bricks of Fenway Park form the background of each side panel to celebrate the centennial of the 1918 World Series Championship.

The name of each recipient is on the right side of the ring with their relationship to the team.

2018 World Series MVP Steve Pearce's ring showcases his jersey number, 25, created with pave-set diamonds.

On the inside of every ring is 10-28-18, signifying the date of the World Series victory, and the words "DAMAGE DONE" appear alongside each of the players' signatures and nicknames.

The finishing touch on the plam crest reads "TEAM FOR THE AGES," and, in total, the ring has 185 stones to represent 162 regular season games, 14 postseason games and nine World Series titles.
