Offered here is a 14K gold 1998-99 San Antonio Spurs NBA championship player’s ring presented to Mario Elie, highlighted by a beautifully done diamond-filled Spurs logo which is set on a large black stone.

Also represented are mentions of the 98-99 season and the team’s 15-2 playoff record. The opposite side shows “WORLD CHAMPIONS SPURS” (with a diamond in the Spurs logo), along with images of the championship trophy and a hammer splitting a rock. This ring – which is marked “14K” inside the band – is an approximate size 12 ½ and weighs approximately 46.5 grams. This item comes with a LOA from Mario Elie.
