“The Greatest Show on Turf” was the perfect nickname for the St. Louis Rams team that ran through the NFL during the 1999 season. The Rams posted a 13-3 record while putting up a league-high 32.9 points per game. Quarterback Kurt Warner was named league MVP after throwing for 4,353 yards and 41 touchdowns. Running back Marshall Faulk topped 1,000 yards in both rushing (1,381) and receiving (1,048), while receiver Isaac Bruce recorded 1,165 receiving yards with 12 TDs. On the defensive side of the ball - with all the talk of their offense, the Rams defense ranked fourth-best in points against – Kevin Carter had 17 sacks and Todd Lyght had six interceptions. The Rams season culminated with a 23-16 victory over the Tennessee Titans in Super Bowl XXXIV. In one of the most memorable moments in football history, Rams linebacker Mike Jones tackled Tennessee’s Kevin Dyson just short of the goal line as time expired, giving Dick Vermeil’s squad the championship.
Presented here is a Jostens 14K gold 1999 St. Louis Rams Super Bowl XXXIV Championship ring, highlighted by a dazzling display of diamonds on the face - as well as the sides - including those that make up the name “Rams” and a depiction of the Lombardi Trophy. “WORLD CHAMPIONS” is shown in relief lettering. The right side of the ring features an enamel-filled Rams helmet under the famed Arch, with “ST. LOUIS” in a banner. The name “FLETCHER” appears at the top (starting linebacker and four-time Pro Bowler London Fletcher) with his number 59 at the bottom. Appearing on the opposite shank are images of the Lombardi Trophy (complete with a diamond) and NFC Championship trophy, as well as the final score of the Super Bowl. Inside the band is marked “JOSTENS 14K”. This ring is an approximate size 11 and weighs approximately 76.2 grams. Item includes original wooden presentation box with etched glass that reads “ST. LOUIS RAMS 1999 SUPER BOWL XXXIV CHAMPIONS”. Please note that this ring is not the ring presented to London Fletcher, but an extra ring that he ordered.
