Kentucky Wildcats Rupp Arena Court Wood Ring (Black Edges)

This unique and stylish ring is made with real wood from the original court at Rupp Arena, home of the Kentucky Wildcats!  Rupp Arena was built in 1976 and hosts up to 23,500 fans each home game in it's current configuration.  The original court, which was replaced in 2001, witnessed many of the greatest college players and teams in NCAA history, including 3 national title teams from Kentucky as well as hosting the 1985 Final Four (won by Villanova).  After removal, small pieces of the court were given to former players, coaches, and VIPs as memorabilia.  The original center court was placed inside the main gate to the arena, and the remaining pieces were left in storage on site until renovations required their removal in 2018, and sold off at public auction.  The wood used for these rings comes from the flooring sold at that auction.  Paired with the central wooden band are dark black edges of Gaboon Ebony wood that contrast the light maple of the court wood and provide a modern classic feel to your ring.  Underneath the wood outer layer is a comfort fit liner of your choice!

Each ring is delivered in a custom wooden ring box with a hinged, magnetic closure.  The inside lid of the box is engraved with the origin of the wood used for the ring.  Each ring also comes with a dated certificate of authenticity with individual serial identification numbers to prove the unique origin of the material used for your ring!

Liner Options

Ceramic liners extremely hard and scratch resistant with a glossy finish.  Relatively lightweight, ceramic is nonmetallic and does not tarnish with wear.  Ceramic rings are quite strong, but have a small chance of breaking upon hard impacts.

Titanium is known for it's strength, and is extremely unlikely to break.  It is silver in color, metallic, and scratches and tarnishes similarly to traditional precious metals.

Carbon fiber is extremely light and quite durable.  It has a noticeable grain pattern and a graphite gray-black color that does not tarnish over time.  Carbon fiber is unlikely to break, but scratches more easily than the other options, though scratches generally blend in with the grain patterning.
