We recently created the championship ring for Professional Boxer Zab Judah.We were approached by his managers to create a ring that was more along the lines of a Superbowl ring and more bling than the current rings.
The current rings were ok but not great and the management team wanted a unique look for all of there rings.
The first step was the concept. We wanted two boxing gloves holding the belt.
We also had to incorporate all of the logos for all of the groups involved.
Zab had his own logo as did the Management group.
We did a ton of renders. Getting all of the logos sized down and still having readable detail was tough. It realy came down to Matt's skill at milling the wax model. What most people dont realize is that this ring is a size 7.5Zab is the Jr Welterweight champion and only weighs 140 lbs.
The team at main events was great to work with. You wouldn't think of ladies as boxing managers but they are.
One of our concerns is does it look impressive on the hand.
We also added Pave rubies and diamonds.
The finished ring is one I am really proud of. One of my favorite things is the video of Zab getting the ring. I often make rings that are given as a surprise but I never get to see the customer expression when they see the gift for the first time.
