Boxing Championship Ring — Two-Tone Gold & Silver Signet

$$$

Sterling silver, 14k yellow gold accents, lab diamonds

A client came to us wanting a second championship-style ring to match one he'd already commissioned, built around a boxer figure from his own design and lettering honoring his gym and his service in the Marine Corps. After he adjusted the figure to match his original reference and asked for black finishing to make the raised gold details pop, he had it rushed to make a boxing alumni convention. When it arrived he wrote: 'Everyone notices and makes a comment to me! I never take them off!'

'Yes! After looking back it is basically the same. It was a dark gold color which made it look different. Continue with the ring! I know it will look great!' — on design approval

'Everyone notices and makes a comment to me! I tell them all about your company and how easy and fun it was to design these beautiful rings. Thank you for getting them to me fast! I never take them off!' — on delivery

How you'd make it yours

Figure: this piece uses a sculpted boxer in a fighting stance; a new commission could use a different sport or activity figure

Metal: this piece pairs a silver base with 14k gold accents; the same two-tone language works with white gold or a different accent karat

Stones: this piece uses two princess-cut diamonds; a new commission could use a different cut or a colored stone for contrast

Lettering: the gym and service references are specific to this piece; a new commission would carry its own text

Finishing: the black accenting is applied to recessed areas on this piece; it could be used more sparingly or more broadly

One of a kind: this exact ring was designed for one client and is not reproduced — a new commission is an original piece inspired by this one, not a copy

Design changes made

The boxer figure was revised to match the client's original reference image after he felt the first render didn't look quite right, and black finishing was added around the raised top and side elements to make the gold details stand out against the silver.

Who this is for

This piece is for someone who has more than one part of their life story worth putting into metal — an athletic achievement and a branch of service, a gym and a title. It's especially right if you want a bold, sculptural ring that reads clearly from across a room, not a subtle accent piece.

How it's made

The ring base was cast in sterling silver while eight separate accent pieces — the top figure plate, lettering, and side panels — were cast in 14k yellow gold. Each gold piece was hand-polished and finished individually before being soldered and assembled onto the silver base, a two-metal construction that lets the raised gold details stand out against the textured silver body. Once assembled, two SI1 princess-cut diamonds were hand-set into the top plate flanking the boxer figure. The figure itself received additional hand engraving and fine polishing to sharpen details that don't translate fully from a 3D render. A black finish was then worked into the recessed areas around the top and side panels, darkening the background so the raised gold lettering and figure read with more contrast.

Key note

The boxer figure looked noticeably different in the first render than in the client's reference photo mainly because of lighting and metal reflections — the final hand-engraving and polishing pass is what actually brings the sculpted figure in line with the original.

Pricing guidance

A two-tone championship ring with a sculpted figure, multiple cast gold accent pieces, and diamond accents sits toward the higher end for custom rings of this style. Most of the cost comes from the number of individually cast and finished gold pieces combined with the hand-engraving needed on a sculptural figure. Diamond selection and the number of accent pieces are the next biggest cost drivers after that base labor.

Questions people ask

Can you make a championship-style ring with a sculpted figure like a boxer?

Yes, sculptural figures like a boxer in a fighting stance can be cast in high relief as part of a championship-style ring design. The figure is typically modeled digitally first, then refined with hand engraving and polishing after casting since fine details like musculature and stance don't always translate perfectly from a 3D render. This hand-finishing step is what gives the figure its final sharpness and resemblance to a reference photo. It's a common approach for rings based on athletic or military achievements.

What's the difference between a sterling silver and 14k gold two-tone ring?

In a two-tone build like this, the main ring base is cast in sterling silver, while accent pieces like lettering, panels, and a central figure are cast separately in 14k yellow gold and then soldered onto the silver base. This combination lets the gold elements stand out visually against the silver without the cost or weight of an all-gold ring. The gold accents behave like solid 14k gold in terms of durability and color retention, while the silver base is more affordable than a solid gold ring of the same size. Over time, the silver portion may need occasional polishing to maintain its shine, while the gold will hold its color well.

How durable are princess-cut diamonds in a setting like this?

Princess-cut diamonds have sharp, pointed corners that are more vulnerable to chipping than rounded cuts, so the corners are typically protected by the surrounding metal or prongs in the setting. SI1 clarity diamonds are eye-clean, meaning any internal characteristics are not visible without magnification, and they offer solid durability for everyday wear. In a design like this, with the diamonds set into a raised metal plate alongside other design elements, the surrounding structure helps shield the stone corners from impact. Regular wear is generally fine, though any ring with pointed-cut stones benefits from occasional inspection to make sure the setting remains secure.

What does a custom championship ring like this typically cost?

A two-tone championship ring with multiple individually cast gold accent pieces, a sculpted figure, and diamond accents falls toward the higher end for custom ring pricing. The bulk of the cost comes from the labor involved in casting and finishing each separate gold piece, plus the hand-engraving needed to refine a sculptural figure after casting. Diamond selection and the total number of accent pieces are the next biggest factors. Simpler single-metal designs with fewer cast elements cost meaningfully less.

How long does it take to make a ring like this?

A design with this level of detail — multiple cast gold pieces, a sculpted figure, and diamond setting — typically takes several weeks from approved design to finished ring, covering casting, hand-finishing, stone setting, and final polishing. Rush timelines are possible when there's a specific deadline, such as an event date, but they compress the finishing steps rather than skip them. The hand-engraving and polishing stage on a sculptural figure like this one is usually the step that takes the most care and time. Clients should expect the finishing and detailing work to be the longest phase, not the initial casting.

Can a ring like this be remade if it's lost or stolen?

Yes — once a design has been fully created and approved, the design files and specifications are kept on record, so a ring like this can be remade without starting the design process over from scratch. This is especially useful for complex, multi-piece designs where recreating all the details from memory would be difficult. The remake uses the same confirmed specifications, including ring size, metal choices, and diamond details. This makes replacing a lost or stolen piece considerably more straightforward than an entirely new commission.

Can you add black finishing to just certain parts of a ring?

Yes, black finishing can be selectively applied to recessed or background areas of a ring while leaving raised details in their natural metal color. This is typically done after the piece is cast and assembled, with the dark finish worked into the lower areas so that raised lettering, figures, or other design elements stand out in contrast. It's a common technique for championship and commemorative rings where legibility and visual pop matter. The finish can wear over time with heavy daily use, similar to other surface treatments like plating.

Can you combine military service details with an athletic achievement in one ring?

Yes, a single ring design can incorporate multiple areas of personal significance, such as a military branch reference alongside an athletic achievement like a boxing title or gym affiliation. These are usually arranged with the central figure or main lettering representing the primary achievement, while side panels or smaller text carry the secondary references. This kind of layered design is common in championship-style rings where the wearer wants more than one part of their story represented. The layout can be adjusted so no single element overwhelms the others.
