Featured here is a highly coveted New York Football Giants Super Bowl XXI ring celebrating the franchise's first championship in the Super Bowl era. Down 10-9 to the Denver Broncos at halftime, the G-Men erupted for 30 second-half points behind the uber-efficient QB play of Phil Simms, who was named MVP after going 22-for-25 passing with 268 yards and three TD's. His 88% completion percentage set a Super Bowl and postseason record. Of course Lawrence Taylor terrorizing John Elway on defense certainly didn't hurt the cause. This particular 10-karat gold ring, identical to those earned on the field by Simms, LT and company, was presented to a staff member Victor Del Guercio, who worked for the Giants for 21 years.
The Lombardi Trophy depicted on the face is comprised of ten genuine diamonds, including a very large diamond stone as the figural football, set into a large blue sapphire stone surrounded by raised text touting, "1986 Giants World Champions." The left shank displays the recipient's surname "DEL GUERCIO" above a figural helmet and the season record, including the three postseason victories. The right shank reports the "39-20" final score along with the NFC and Super Bowl XXI logos, plus another nod to Vince Lombardi's eponymous award. Interior band is stamped "10K Jostens" is stamped inside the band along with the engravings of "Victor Del Guercio" and the "1-25-87" date of the Super Bowl. Ring size is 12 and weight is 46 grams. What an important and extremely rare championship memento from one of the most popular franchises in all of football.
