The 2010 San Francisco Giants shocked the baseball world by winning the 2010 World Series, handling the vaunted Texas Rangers lineup with stellar pitching. Designed and produced by Tiffany & Co., the 2010 San Francisco Giants World Series Champions Ring was designed to be with homage to the rings from earlier eras. The original inspiration was the Giants 1933 World Series ring but with a modern style. This particular ring was presented to minor league manager (and former major league player) Jesus Tavarez. This Tiffany & Co. championship ring is primarily made from sterling silver, also with some 14K yellow gold. The ring top holds the "SF" logo set with round diamonds encircled by a bezel of yellow gold, flanked by two round diamonds and the term "WORLD CHAMPIONS". The perimeter contains more small round diamonds. One shank of the size 9.5/53.2 gram ring has the year "2010" flanking a yellow gold tower of the Golden Gate Bridge -- the iconic symbol of San Francisco. The other shank has the recipient's name "TAVAREZ" in a ribbon over the World Series trophy. Within the top of the trophy is one mandarin orange spessartite garnet representing the San Francisco championship and at the base of the trophy are five diamonds representing the five New York championships. Within the band is engraved the results of their three 2010 post season series wins with "SFG 3 - ATL 1 SFG 4 - PHI 2 SFG 4 - TEX 1". Also stamped inside the band is “TIFFANY & CO. AG 925” indicating the ring is 92.5% sterling silver. This is tremendous ring of the first ever Giants baseball championship in San Francisco, and the reminder of the old baseball adage of "good pitching will always beat good hitting". LOA from Giants minor league manager and recipient Jesus Tavarez.
