Here are the details about the Jostens rings, via the Blackhawks:

The 2015 Stanley Cup Championship Ring boasts 355 round, pear, marquise and custom princess-cut diamonds all meticulously set in a 14 karat white gold ring. This collection of stones comes together to create a stunning all white ring which tops over 10.8 carats.

The ring top boasts the Blackhawks logo created with custom-cut diamonds sitting atop a bed of 50 custom princess-cut diamonds. The words STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS surrounds the top and bottom of the ring top, giving way to four shimmering rows of round pave-set diamonds. The four rows of diamonds are master set and cascade down the side of the ring in a waterfall effect.

The left side features all six Stanley Cup trophies the team has won. Round pave-set diamonds are stacked up to form the base of each trophy. The right side features the Blackhawks secondary logo created with pear and round pave-set diamonds, as well as each player’s name and number. Inside, the team’s motto of ONE GOAL is featured along with a silhouette of the trophy. The Blackhawks 2015 postseason opponents and series scores are also included.

So what’s the tale of the tape between the 2010, 2013 and 2015 rings?
