So here are two replica Super Bowl rings I now have in hand.
I wanted to give those that may be still looking a close look at the two rings side by side.

FIRST OFF let me say that I am not affiliated with either seller. One of those sellers was TrophyClone that has posted here. His ring is marked with a yellow "TC" in the pictures below. The other was a seller who says they are local, but the ring shipped out of California.

As you can see there are differences between the two. Most notable are size, height of Seahawk logo on top of the ring, the blue border around the Seahawk logo, the engraving inside the ring, and the bottom of the ring where the feathers are.

The other difference that you wouldn't be able to see is that the TrophyClone ring was made from solid sterling silver. The other ring is brass and plated. Both have a nice solid feel to them.

I would be happy to answer any other questions and take any other pictures for those that want them.

Ring1 zps70ddcd17

I was able to order the TrophyClone ring in a size 14, the other is a size 13 so that should tell you how big my hands/fingers are.

I will say that there is a noticeable size difference between the two rings. I'm no expert but if I were to guess based on the pictures I've seen taken from the players themselves, I would guess that the larger of the two is closer to the actual size.

The costs of both totaled are still less than the official Tiffany ring.

My custom display box will be here next week, so I will have pictures for it then.

Great post, thanks.
I personally like the smaller TC ring.
If you don't mind, what was the cost? And what are the stones?
Please PM me if you don't want to post the answers.

Is there one you prefer over the other? What was the difference in the price between the two?

For a fan who intended to wear it, I think the smaller would be the way to go. If only for display, definitely the larger one. Both look pretty sweet.

I'm curious who you used to source the larger of the two? I like both. The larger looks to be a more accurate replica of the real ones. But I like the better inside engraving on the TC one. And, the smaller size might make it more wearable actually. Not sure which way I'd go yet. I'd also like to hear any other thoughts you have on either piece.

In my opinion the TC ring gets most of the little details right:
the blue behind the Seahawks logo on top of the ring and the engraving inside the ring.

The bigger of the two is just that - BIGGER and IMHO probably more close to the actual size of the players rings.
I also like the looks of my name on the bigger ring. And the height of the Hawks logo looks more closer to the player's rings.
The feathers on the bottom of the rings are accurate on the bigger ring, as there is a space on the TC ring.

Maybe because the ring is bigger and the stones are bigger it appears as if the stones on the bigger ring have a better sparkle to them.

As it was mentioned before - for someone who is going to wear the ring more than usual I would go for the TC ring. A little smaller in size. If you're looking for something closer to an exact replica I would go with the bigger ring.

I went with the LARGER one. Best $225 I ever spent.


Where can one find the larger ring for sale?

Sometimes smaller is better and these rings are gaudy big.

I like some of the elements of both but I saw another ring I liked better than either of those. Saw it online somewhere.

Which vendor did you use for the larger one? PM if you'd like. Thanks.

Just my opinion and since I've worn the real ring on my finger I have to go with the TC version. No 12 would throw either away but the TC version looks like the mold is a little more quality...It has a tighter look to it with the little details. Again, both rings would be cool for a 12 to own but from the photos, I would have to say the TC version looks closest to the ring that was on my finger for a blissful minute or two.

Why does it say "Ballance"?
That would be my name
Oh, okay. I was afraid it was a misspelled word, like the time my friend got a tattoo that said, in part, "I belive it". Nobody pointed it out to him when he was showing it off at a gathering of our riding club, until I did (what are friends for, if not to point and laugh once the initial shock wears off? :mrgreen: ).
