New England Patriots players, coaches, team leaders and football staff received their Super Bowl LIII championship rings on Thursday night at a private party hosted by owner Robert Kraft – an event that brought together former players and coaches for a final celebration.

Quarterback Tom Brady was photographed on the official Twitter account of the team carrying his six Super Bowl rings. He is the only player in NFL history to win six rings.

Here are some facts about the ring designed by Josten:

  • It's the biggest Super Bowl ring of all time, according to Josten.

  • Made of 10 carat gold, it bears the logo of the Patriots highlighted by a red and blue stone cut to measure. Thirty-eight diamonds surround the logo, with an additional diamond set in the star.

  • The Patriotes logo is based on six Lombardi trophies, set with 123 diamonds, each accented with a marquise cut diamond.

  • The trophies at the top of the ring are surrounded by 108 additional pavĂ© diamonds, which represents the number of practices of the 2018 season.

  • A total of 76 diamonds adorn the edges of the ring. The complex design is complemented by 20 round blue sapphires, emblematic of the 20 AFC East Patriots Championships.

  • The right side of the ring features the official wordmark of the team above the Super Bowl LIII logo and includes the 13-3 score. The rallying cry of "Still here," which the team has adopted throughout the 2018 playoffs, completes the drawing of the right-hand side of the ring.

  • The name of each recipient appears to the left of the ring, above the iconic lighthouse and bridge at Gillette Stadium. To the left of the lighthouse, each ring bears the player's uniform number inlaid with diamonds. The sixth title of the Super Bowl franchise is commemorated with a 6X and dates from 2018.

  • Kraft's quote, "We are all patriots," appears above his signature.

  • The crest of the palm represents the years of the previous five victories of the team's Super Bowl.

  • The ring includes an average of 416 round diamonds and six marquise-cut diamonds for a carat weight of 8.25 carats. Each ring contains 20 genuine round blue sapphires for 1.60 carats, bringing the total carat weight of precious stones to 9.85 carats.
