Great article on Saints' Designing of Ring

In keeping with recent tradition, the Saints' Super Bowl ring is big and blinding. But compared to some of the more garish rings created by other championship teams, the Saints have taken a more tempered approach. There are diamonds aplenty, but they're wrapped around and within a fleur-de-lis.
"A lot of rings that we looked at featured the Lombardi Trophy," Saints General Manager Mickey Loomis said. "But our team has such a deep connection to the city, and the fleur-de-lis is not just an emblem of the Saints. It represents the region."
The fleur de lis, outlined in black, features a .06-carat round diamond, representing the team's first Super Bowl win.
"We didn't want it to be gaudy," Saints owner Tom Benson said. "We wanted it to be something attractive, something that people would be proud to wear for years."

Benson shelling out more than the 150 allocated rings - didn't think he had it in him.
