Traditionalists in the sports jewelry world hate when outsiders disrupt the status quo. For decades, massive heritage brands like Jostens and Tiffany & Co. held a virtual monopoly on championship hardware. They built beautiful, classic, and completely predictable rings.
Then Jason Arasheben showed up. Recently making headlines in related news: The Dirt That Stays Silent.
Operating from behind a nondescript door in a Beverly Hills office building, the founder of Jason of Beverly Hills just completely threw out the traditional playbook for the Seattle Seahawks. Fresh off their Super Bowl LX victory celebrating the 2025 season, the Seahawks unveiled their championship rings at a private party. What they saw wasn't just a heavy piece of gold with some diamonds slapped on top. It's basically a mechanical transformer disguised as a piece of high jewelry.
It weighs about a third of a pound, sits as large as a child’s fist, and contains 20 carats of white diamonds and deep blue sapphires. But the real reason this ring is causing waves in the industry isn't the stone count. It's the engineering. Additional insights into this topic are explored by FOX Sports.
The Secret Button and the Transformer Top
Most Super Bowl rings sit in a safe. They're too heavy to wear, too awkward for daily life, and function primarily as desk trophies. Arasheben explicitly designs against this limitation.
The top of the new Seahawks ring completely detaches from the base. With a quick twist, the entire diamond-encrusted face converts into a wearable pendant on a chain. It’s an aggressive design pivot that acknowledges a basic truth: modern players want to actually wear their ice, not just look at it in a box.

[12 Flag Side Button] ---> Pops out Lumen Field Arches to reveal "World Champions"
The real engineering flexing happens on the side of the band. A small "12 Flag" nod to Seattle's legendary fanbase double-functions as a mechanical button. When pressed, a highly complex internal system of levers and springs activates, causing the iconic arches of Lumen Field to pop outward, revealing the words “World Champions” hidden underneath.
This isn't standard jewelry making. It's micro-engineering. The three-month production process required CAD specialists and structural engineers working alongside traditional bench jewelers in Los Angeles to make sure the spring mechanism wouldn't jam after a few hundred presses.
Breaking Down the Micro-Details
Every millimeter of a modern championship ring has to justify its existence by telling a story. Vague symbolism doesn't cut it anymore when a single ring appraises anywhere between $50,000 and $250,000.
Here is exactly what Arasheben packed into the piece:
- The Face: A vibrant backdrop of custom-cut Seahawks blue sapphires framing the official hawk-head logo. Two miniature Lombardi Trophies sit in the background, marking the franchise's two world titles.
- The Frame: Exactly 50 brilliant round white diamonds encircle the center logo, a direct nod to the team's historic 50th franchise season.
- The Flanks: One side features the player’s name, number, and the team's internal mantra, "M.O.B." The opposing side features the Seattle skyline, the Super Bowl LX logo, and the phrase "12 AS ONE."
- The Underside: Twelve engraved feathers line the very bottom of the band, a permanent tribute to the 12s.
- The Interior: Pop the top off, and you'll find a literal piece of a game-used football from the championship season embedded into the center, stamped with the number 50. Engraved nearby are the words "17 WINS," capturing the total record of the historic run.
Even the presentation box is over-the-top. When a player opens the lid, three internal mini-spotlights turn on automatically while a mechanical platform rotates the ring.
The Hustle Behind the Hardware
Arasheben’s rise to the top of the sports world makes the corporate structures of corporate jewelry giants look incredibly boring. Before he was designing rings for the Los Angeles Rams, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Philadelphia Eagles, and now the Seahawks, he was a UCLA student drowning in $28,000 of debt. He started out selling basic hair clips and cheap trinkets from a folding table on campus.
He built his brand by catering to the hyper-custom, loud aesthetic of NBA stars and hip-hop artists who felt ignored by old-school luxury houses. That direct relationship with the players is exactly why his company has locked down eight of the last 11 NBA championship ring contracts. He understands the culture of modern sports luxury better than a board of executives at an established corporate jeweler ever could.
He explicitly treats these pieces as time capsules rather than traditional jewelry. They aren't meant to be understated or subtle. They're built to scream.
What This Means for Sports Memorabilia Collectibles
If you're a fan looking to get a piece of this specific design history, the team launched a retail collection. But don't expect a cheap knockoff.
The flagship piece of the public collection is a highly restricted, ultra-premium replica ring. To honor the franchise's founding year of 1976, they only manufactured 76 pieces total. Each one retails for a massive $15,995.
For serious sports collectors, these entry points are worth watching. Championship rings hold a bizarrely lucrative spot in the high-end auction market. To put the long-term value into perspective, Kobe Bryant’s 2000 Lakers championship ring fetched a staggering $927,000 at auction. While a fan replica won't hit those historic numbers, the extreme scarcity of a 76-piece run means these will likely become massive targets on the secondary market within the decade.
If you're aiming to secure one of the limited public replicas, skip the third-party auction sites and go straight to the official team portal at Seahawks.com/ChampionshipCollection before the tiny allocation sells out completely. Frame the certificate of authenticity immediately, keep the mechanical box out of direct sunlight to protect the rotation motor, and treat the piece like the piece of engineering it actually is.
