The football’s surface is covered in pavé-set natural brown diamonds, while white diamonds define the laces with striking contrast. At the center, a shield is set with blue sapphires and white diamonds to complete the classic football design. Each stone was hand-set under a microscope, creating a richly textured surface that sparkles from every angle. Resting in its matching brown diamond stand, this remarkable creation unites the spirit of American football with the artistry of fine jewelry.
