The Patriots got their Super Bowl Rings

These things are huge.

some details taken form the patriots.com page:

104: The total number of diamonds displayed in each ring.

5.05: The total diamond weight of each ring. The 5.05 carats is the largest carat total of any Super Bowl ring in history.

3.8: The total weight of the championship ring in ounces, making it the largest Super Bowl ring ever made.

33: This year's ring is approximately 33 percent larger than the ring that the Patriots earned just two seasons ago for their Super Bowl XXXVI Championship.

32: The number of full-cut diamonds that surround the Patriots logo centered atop the ring, representing the 32 NFL teams who annually vie for the Lombardi Trophy.

15: The number of full-cut diamonds atop the running atop the crest of the ring, representing the season-ending 15-game win streak, the longest in franchise history.

12: The number of full-cut diamonds embedded along the bottom of the ring's crest, representing the undefeated 12-0 record at Gillette Stadium in 2003.

2: The number of Lombardi Trophies displayed as the centerpiece atop the ring. They represent the 2001 and 2003 championship seasons and are filled with three-quarter carat marquise-cut diamonds.

25: This is the 25th Super Bowl ring manufactured by Jostens (out of 38). They have manufactured both of the Patriots championship rings.

2: Of the 38 Super Bowls rings created, the Patriots' TWO championship rings are the only TWO to be cast in 14-carat white gold.

17.5: Predictably, the largest ring size ordered this year is the 17.5 that will be presented to Ted Washington. The smallest is a 9.

17: Running a close second, Ty Warren will receive a 17-sized ring.
