The 76th season of NHL hockey in Motor City, the Detroit Red Wings were a formidable opponent for any club in 2001-02, boasting 10 future HOFers along with Scotty Bowman behind the bench, the team would lose only 17 contests throughout the season. The boys from Motown would defeat Vancouver, St Louis and Colorado before taking out the Carolina Hurricanes in just five games in the Stanley Cup final. This would serve as the Red Wings' 10th championship, with the club recognized as one of the greatest in history. Without a doubt, one of the most beautiful and substantial Stanley Cup ring we have ever offered, this 2001-02 Detroit Red Wings Stanley Cup championship 14K gold and diamond ring was presented to head athletic trainer John Wharton. Size 8 1/2 with a weight of approx 60 grams and featuring a raised Red Wings logo encrusted with 24 precious rubies centered over the Stanley Cup on the tableau, this breath-taking creation is flanked by the words "Stanley Cup Champions" on either side of the raised image of the coveted trophy. A total of eighty-two (82) shimmering real diamonds can be found over the tableau. The left shank boasts the Red Wing's "10th Cup", while the right shank displays a three-dimensional Stanley Cup motif, with "Wharton" above and "2002" beneath. Produced by the heralded craftsman at Intergold (IGO), their hallmark is stamped beside "14K". Heavy wear from use is present with scratches to the band and shanks and dings along edges, with the outer band showing the material slightly worn down in spots. There is also a very slight bend to the band, with this barely noticeable and not detracting at all, mentioned for complete accuracy. Again, in our opinion, one of the finest Stanley Cup rings ever produced!
