Touchdown - she’s back. Many wondered how Taylor’s style playbook would shift (if at all) for “National Sportsball Observation”: Season Two. You might recall that during her “rookie” season, Taylor’s opening outfit was, as we’re calling it now, demure. A simple, lace-trimmed white cotton tank to + denim shorts + sneakers + a Chiefs jacket she picked up at the Arrowhead pro shop. As a way of testing the waters in a completely new setting, it was a lowkey, casual entrypoint into a very headline-exploding relationship launch. As we saw her continue to show up to games, her clothing choices became bolder. Bigger jackets, taller heels, tighter bustiers, cheekier cut denim. It all signalled a growing confidence in herself — and her relationship. 

When you makeout on the field at the Superbowl, there’s no going back to demure. This denim on denim moment is obviously sexy, and yet entirely familiar to where we last left off with Taylor’s game day fashion thanks to some repeat silhouettes. Which in my opinion makes this an extremely well executed strategic start to her season - and a hot and spicy one to boot!

Bustiers: Bustiers + corsets have become TTPD’s “signature” item. She wore plenty to previous Chiefs games last year. You might even recognize this exact one because she wore it in black the night she ‘killahardlaunched’ her relationship with Travis when they were photographed leaving Saturday Night Live in October 2023. 

Jewelry Stacking: Another era-specific signature that became key over the course of TTPD. Taylor became comfortable heavily layering larger, statement pieces of jewelry over the last few years. 

Denim: Taylor wore a lot of denim last year (like the distressed Ksubis from her first game and a crystallised Area pair at the NY game). But to go denim on denim feels like a pointed “painting the town blue” democratic signal to me. 

Boots: Thigh high boots by Louboutin and Larroude were incorporated into her game day style through the winter games.  

As an aside, this particular cut and fabrication of bustier is giving me flashbacks to her 2023 MTV VMA after-party look, which was by EB Denim. Given the 2024 VMAs are next week, I can’t get over the genius use of slideshowing.

As we saw throughout Taylor’s game day fashion playbook last year, she would often employ sentimental pieces through her jewelry. Items that were named for certain goddesses, or that were adorned with a certain jersey number. It was a subtle way of bejeweling a little bit of romance into her outfit.

The ‘Long Love’ name feels both appropriate to the circumstances for why she’s at the game and it also sounds a lot like her own song “Long Live”.

For her Retrouvai piece, the brand notes that it is from their “Impetus collection” which includes a lot of puzzle motifs that they say “represent that we are each individually part of a much larger picture. The force behind this collection was thinking about the idea of purpose and drive.” Love that!

As a repeat, Taylor also rewore her 'TNT' bracelet - a custom gift to her from Travis she wore when the Chiefs won the 2023 AFC Division game against the Ravens back in January. What a full circle moment to reference as they kick off the 2024-2025 season.

Just this past summer, FFR launched a curated collection of unsigned, one-of-a-kind vintage pieces exclusive to Bergdorfs. The pieces range from the 1940s through to the 1980s.

Upon launch, FFR founder Randi Molofsky told National Jeweler, “I think the idea of vintage is in the zeitgeist, and clients are actively seeking out jewelry that has stood the test of time.”

It’s not surprising to me that Taylor would gravitate towards a stunning vintage piece like this. She’s long loved vintage fashion since she began to incorporate it into her wardrobe around the Speak Now era and really leaned into the aesthetic in the RED era. Just last summer, she acquired a vintage Cartier necklace she wore often that was valued at just above $27,000.

I reached out to Randi Molofsky directly who told me a bit of history with this special one-of-a-kind vintage piece. “This one-of-a-kind vintage necklace is the ultimate in sexy 1970s style — it’s bold and powerful and makes a real statement,” said Molofsky. “In the ‘70s, oversized medallions and chunky chains had a major moment — heavily influenced by the disco movement and Italian resort style — and that look is having a resurgence now. I love that Taylor chose vintage for this moment not only because is it good for the planet, but because these pieces have lived lives before us and they will still be treasured for generations to come.”

Taylor often will wear a lot of red-tinged jewelry to her Chiefs games as an obvious nod to their team colours which makes the Howl ruby ring make total sense here. But a part of me can’t help but smirk at the ‘three row’ bracelet and wonder if it’s an optimistic fingers crossed moment for a Chiefs Super Bowl threepeat (they won the big trophy in consecutive years in 2023 and 2024).

Lastly - those 'girlfriend' shorts? Girl, please.

ALL OF THEM

You know it’s long because this is like over a decade now of OTPs and BrOTPS. It’s a lot a lot lot... So, under the snippity snip it goes. 🎁 🎄 ☃️ 

From Aurélie to Adele:

Aside from the fact that Elie got her bestie’s little ones enough clothes to replace their entire wardrobes (seriously, she’s been shopping all year someone reign her in) and Lachlan a handpan, she gave Adele clothes and jewelry from her travels and a year’s subscription to the Seed Bank Box so that she can garden and grow her own flowers and veggies, either as a way to relax or do something fun with the family.

From Henrik to Eittie:

It is time for Eittie to be fully converted into a Bostonian. Henri had custom home and away jerseys made for her for both the Bruins and the Red Sox, though he’s sure she was more excited to get a few more plants and some cute new pots for her plants that she’d mentioned needed repotting. His family also spoiled her with dozens of gifts from gift cards to the bookstore, clothes (most of which is Boston-weather ready and themed winter attire), framed pictures from the times she’s joined the Oliwas for holidays, and cute little custom labels with her plant names she’d mentioned.

From Lachlan to Adele:

Lachlan had matching frames made with the years they’ve been together embossed on them. Each contains the paint sample strips with their scribblings on them. His parents, who often take on the kids so they can go on dates, run errands, etc. helped the kids make her ornaments using the handprints of the little ones and the coloring skills of the older ones (paint by number and such) and they continued the tradition of passing along a family ornament. This one was a ceramic ‘C’ with gold detail that belonged to Lachlan’s great-great grandparents.

From Matthias to Alessandra:

Matt had never thought himself to be some eternal optimist, especially after his prior failures in marriage, but he’d always hoped that Aless would come back to them. When she was gone, he’d missed hearing her tell him all the things they got into together while he was away for work. Whether it was a story Brie made up or a retelling of Brie’s day from her point of view lovingly told through her mother’s eyes. So, he’d kept journals and, even when on a trip for work, he’d made a point of either calling at bedtime or having his mother or brothers ask her on his behalf. Each day she was gone was written in the hard cover journals, a little date and a variety of pen colors that . He stacked them up and wrapped them with golden bow. The small card had a winter portrait of a little cottage full of light and covered in snow. “While you were away, every story of every day.”

Other gifts from Micah gifts more typical; a beautiful pearl and diamond bracelet, new home office furniture, and some cashmere sweaters, hats, and scarves. His parents brought her a new dining set. His eldest brother welcomed her back with a new longboard, teasing her that her newfound surf skills probably need brushing up, to which Matt joked back that even as a novice she was already ten times better than he’d ever been- not an unfounded diss.

From Aubrianna to Alessandra:

Brie picked out a “pretty dress” for Aless that she found running through a department store. Matt agreed it would look great on her, so he didn’t say it wasn’t a dress. At school she made her a reindeer ornament with her handprint and popsicle sticks. The snowman shaped card that was also clearly made in school, perfect little circles cut out by her teacher and overly glued cotton balls placed on top reads, “To: Mummy Buon Natale! Love Brie” with a backwards ‘e’ 

From Micah to Alessandra:

Micah gave all family members a stocking ornament engraved with the Cartwright ‘C’ monogram.  Inside the her ornament is a picture of her with Matt and Brie on one of their Sunday dinners.

From Nathaniel to Caria:

Nate’s really really bad at getting gifts, but his secretary knew how much he liked her and insisted he figure it out. So he got her a MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, Apple Watch, and iPhone 13 Pro Max. It’s all a bit selfish, but he only spends about 1/3 of his time in D.C. and he misses her too much. So, Nate logic, Caria can now have all of her services sink easily device to device so that their long distance dates and video calls all easily move from any device she has available and charged. Oh to be young and in love in 2021. Sidenote: He did fill her stocking with so many yummy snacks and cute floral watch bands. He also got her a few of his favorite books.

From Cosmo to Caria:

A little card that came with a small bundle of snapdragons read “Have a pawsome Christmas! A donation has been made to K9s for Warriors on your behalf. Love, Cosmo”

From Octavius to Eittie:

In not-so-teasing fashion and true to Tavi’s hatred of shopping and having “stuff” he bought Eittie a leather backpack and stuffed it with what he deemed travel essentials. Travel shoes, thick jeggings, cute undies, mace, two compression shirts, snacks, first aid kit, Swiss Army knife, travel water filters, socks with wool inside, secret pocket with fake papers and cash... I mean what? At least he put a bow on it.

From Pembe to Adele:

To her new friend, Pem sent Adele and Lachlan a new dining set she designed with their monogram. For the kids, she made a tea set our that’s quite more thick and durable than the ones she makes for use and decor.

From Tadgh to Eittie:

After she showed up in Barra, they swapped numbers to keep in touch a little. He sent Eittie a copy of Selene’s book and a draft copy of his own collection of poems about Lene with a  note that read: Happy Christmas, Graveyard Girl. I hope that this will answer some of the questions I couldn’t answer that first time we met. Wishing you and yours a happy and healthy new year, Tadgh, Selene, & Sorcha

From Tadgh to Selene:

Tadgh made her a rocking chair, ottoman, and little side table. The top of the side table has inlaid sea glass under epoxy resin so that it’s a smoothed over surface. The lip of the side table holds a verse from a newer poem of his:

Happiness in every sense of the word: Like the sunrise warms a winter night, I feel its limbs tingle across my skin Like a crashing wave sprays ocean to a cliff, I taste its smile on my tongue Like the wind rustles through spring fields, I smell its presence on my clothes Like fire consumes what was lost and gone, I see its hope alight around me Like mountains shake to bring new life, I hear the its laughter in my home It’s you, my happiness.

From Teague to Eittie:

None of this should be a surprise but everything is red and any detailing is gold form the wrapping to the gifts themselves. Dresses, shoes, lingerie, toys, flowers. There’s silks, satin, velvet. It’s all very over the top and probably didn’t seem like it was that different from other gifts he’s given her, just a lot at once. He did make her a Christmas dinner and stocked their bar with various types of whisky.

From Thaddeus to Rosie:

On Christmas Eve everyone opened their now-a-Winston-Watson-tradition-gift from Thaddy: matching family onsies. This year it was all of the dogs from the sanctuary for the year with little Santa hats or reindeer ears on. He’s not the best at gift giving, so he likes just doing this one silly thing and spending the rest of the time just doing what he prefers: acts of service.

What’s in a Name: 13 - J. Toews

Chapter 13.

Where we left off: Christmas in Chicago where Bekah finds a hidden present in the tree.

Warnings: smut, language

Word Count: 4,102

Series Masterlist ) Puck ‘n Grind’s masterlist

Bekah had never felt more nervous than she did prepping for the team Christmas party. FaceTiming Brynn while going over details and watching Jon on television.

“Bekah, breathe! Sit, let’s chat. The party will be amazing tomorrow. They will all be drinking and they don’t care if it’s perfect they just want to hang out together. Plus, maybe lock your bedroom door and change your guest sheets.” Brynn turned on her mothering voice and Bekah stopped and looked at the phone propped up on the counter.

“Rin, this is my first big thing with the team, first. I don’t want to fuck it up! Also, did you just suggest that? No? Really! Here?” Bekah made a face trying to not think about what Brynn was insinuating as she leans against the counter and her new necklace dangles into view.

“Oh, my eyes! My eyes! It’s so, so bright!” Brynn jokingly yells shielding her eyes from the light bouncing off the diamond.

“Funny, Rin.”’ Bekah rocks the necklace between her fingers remembering when she opened the box a few days prior.

“Let’s talk about that fine piece of jewelry and what you thought it was, shall we?” This made Bekah scoop up the phone and crash on the couch. She didn’t answer Brynn. “Ok, I’ll start. That box was smallish from the picture you sent so I’m sure you thought it was something else, am I wrong?” Bekah’s face contorts and starts to speak but words don’t form. “Yeah, so, Bekah, what if it was a ring? Would you go all Bekah on him or say yes without question because you are madly in love with that man?”

“Rin, we’ve only been dating since April.” Bekah fiddles with the necklace. Her fingers tracing the platinum script T holding a diamond. She was sure Jon custom made for her but he wouldn’t answer her questions about it.

“Bekah, friend, love you but...” Bekah inhaled sharply and Brynn laughs. “But, you two have been together for almost four years. F-O-U-R! Four. Don’t give me this undefined horse shit. You are in love with each other. You are so so very good for each other. And when that man does propose in some ridiculously amazing romantic way, you my friend better say yes.”

“Yes, there you go baby!” Bekah’s attention went to the overtime game and Jon’s assist to win it.

“I mean that answer would work. Maybe leave out the last part. Just the first word will do.” Brynn laughs out and Bekah joins her.

“I better head to bed. Busy few days.” Bekah yawns.

“Oh yes, enjoy watching the Winter Classic at Notre Dame! We won’t talk about how jealous my husband still is.” Brynn whispers.

“Speaking of, tell him I said hello. I’ll talk to you soon.” With that the friends ended the call and Bekah headed to bed.

The next few days were jam packed with Blackhawks events. The Christmas party went well and then they all headed to South Bend for New Years. Jon and Bekah had team dinner where Jon mispronounced his own last name for the security guard just like Bekah thought it was pronounced back when they met.  He was relaxed both Bekah and the team took notice.  The two didn’t stay late and headed back to their hotel room before midnight. Jon kisses Bekah hard as the clock struck midnight. “I’m so glad I got to ring in 2019 with you, Beks.” He whispered with the sound of the New York City ball drop coverage on the television of their hotel room.

“Me too, Tae. Now we need to sleep. You have a big game tomorrow. I mean today.” Bekah kisses him again.

“2018 might have been the best year yet but I cannot wait to see what 2019 holds for us, you know?” He pulls at her leg to bring it up onto his hip. Jon’s other hand holding her head as their lips crash into one another.

“Agreed, Jon, but you need to sleep.” Bekah whimpers as they break for air.

“We will but I would like to see if 2019 sex is different.” Jon laughs as he pulls Bekah’s shirt off her body.

“I’m pretty sure it’s the same that it was this morning.” Bekah chirps as she takes his shirt off too.

“Well, let’s find out. Shall we?” His voice was low as he lowered both their bodies to the bed. “I mean we had a whole day of media and skating and it’s a new year.” He hovers over her body kissing down her jaw and sucking at the base of her neck.

“Yeah,”’ Bekah breathes out. “I’m just glad I didn’t fall on national television that’s all.” This makes Jon laugh into her skin.

“Me too, Baby. I’m sure they would have a field day with it too. Someone would mention that you were my girlfriend as you were flat on the ice.” Jon snakes down her body and back up to pull her nipples in between his teeth and fingers. Bekah’s body jolts up at the sensation. Her fingers run through Jon’s hair.

“Tae...” Bekah moans out as Jon drops further down her body to rid both of them of the rest of their clothing. His fingers slip through her folds and pump a few times.

“So ready for me aren’t you Baby?” Bekah nods as Jon replaces his fingers with the tip of cock then slides himself into Bekah while moving his body over hers as he bottoms out. She wraps her legs and arms around him pulling their bodies together and with all her might she rolls their bodies over. “Oh!” Jon’s voice sounds shocked as his back hits the mattress and Bekah sits up.

“This okay?” Bekah questions taking in Jon’s look. She runs her hands down his abs and repositions her body before rocking her hips.

“Fuck yes, it feels amazing.” Jon’s hips jolt up into Bekah and she grinds herself into him. Each movement elicits sounds of pleasure that escapes from their lips. Jon’s hands move from Bekah’s hips to cup her breasts. Running his thumbs over her peaks causing a jolt to pulsate through her body and she clinches around him. “Merde. Beks. Fuck.” Jon feels himself close. Bekah lowers her body flush with his and kisses him hard. His hands return to her hips and pulls her with the small rolling of his hips. He shutters and releases. Bekah’s body shakes and his arms wrap around her to keep her body attached to his. Both panting trying to catch their breath from that high.

“Well...” Bekah attempts to speak but cannot control her breath.

“Agreed.” Jon huffs out as he rolls their bodies to the side and runs his fingers through Bekah’s hair and down spine.

“Sleep. Tae. Sleep.” Bekah whispers as she cuddles up into him.

The experience of the Winter Classic was cold but fun. Brynn blew up her phone when she saw the coverage from family skate. Bekah was loved the look of pure joy on Jon’s face from the picture Brynn sent of the screen. That look was not mirrored in the game itself. The team didn’t do well but as Jon told the media, the experience was one he’d never forget. Bekah listened and wondered if he meant playing at the historic stadium or having her with him for the whole event. Maybe he meant both.

Bekah braced herself after the overtime loss to Nashville a few days later. This meant that her birthday might be spent with an uptight Jon focused on game tape and skating late. She instead woke up to the smell of coffee and breakfast in bed. “Joyeux anniversaire mon amour.” Jon leans over and kisses her lips.

“Merci Tae! But why does birthday sound like anniversary?” Bekah questions the French as Jon slides in front of her on the bed.

“It is the anniversary of your birth, Beks. Speaking of, you make 31 look damn sexy, Baby.” Jon takes the piece of bacon he was eating and waves it like a wand in her direction. “So beautiful.” Bekah feels the blush coming to her cheeks as she sips on her coffee.

“Don’t you have morning skate?” She looks at the clock puzzled.

“I took the day off.” Jon smirks. “I think they will call it a maintenance day. Wanted to spend the whole day with you.”

“We are celebrating my birthday at home before heading to Miami on break. We discussed this. Brynn is having my parents over and everything.” Bekah kicks her foot at Jon under the breakfast tray.

“We are. I just wanted to spend the day with you that’s all. Nothing big. We can lay in bed all day if you want.” His face lights up so his eyes are lost in his smile.

“Promise? No hidden presents? No surprises at dinner? Nothing?” Bekah’s eyebrows narrow.

“Dinner with Brandon and Alyssa only as promised.” Jon winks and crosses his heart with his finger.

“I saw that.” Bekah sips her coffee again.

“Swear. Just the four of us. Official birthday celebrations happening only in Ohio. Well, maybe a cake a dinner but that’s it.” Jon shifts and leans to kiss her lips. His promise held true. Dinner with the Saad’s only was different by the added cake the restaurant placed sparklers in and a small gift from Alyssa.

“You really didn’t need to get me anything.” Bekah looked at the gift bag Alyssa slid across the table.

“Nothing big, promise!” Alyssa motioned for Bekah to open it. Inside a tub of candy buckeyes and a kitchen flour sack towel that made Bekah laugh.

“What’s it say?” Jon leans over to read. “We’re a little nuts in this house.” The words flanked by a buckeye with it’s leaf and an outline of Ohio. “Hey!” Jon’s fake offend voice makes the table laugh.

“Thank you.” Bekah grabs Alyssa’s hand and squeezes.

“Saw it and thought of you. Plus the buckeyes are delicious and that company is from Columbus.” Alyssa smiles as the four resume dinner and discuss plans for break and upcoming home games.

Bekah sat nervously with her Winter Classic hat and new Toews jersey on as the Blackhawks took the ice after a five game losing streak. She knew if the next two games added to the streak that vacation would not be as relaxing as they both needed it to be. Jon’s goal in the first gave them a lead then he scored again in the third. Bekah was on the edge of her seat when she sees the pass to Jon and he redirects the puck into the back of the net. Bekah jumped with everyone in the arena. Hats start flying and she rips her hat off her head and tosses it towards glass. Jon skates by and blows her a kiss before heading back to the bench so the hats can be cleared. After the game, Bekah practically ran into his arms. He picked her up spun her around. “Seven!” She squeals as his lips press to hers.

“I’ll have to replace your hat but here, maybe this will make up for it.” Jon places her back on the ground and fishes the puck out of his coat pocket.

“Tae, that’s yours.” She realizes it his hat trick puck.

“I have plenty. This is your first. You called it way back when we met. Remember?” His hand brushes the hair that fell out of her bun she put her hair in after the loss of the hat. Bekah nods. “One more game then home and vacation.” Jon kisses her and leads her to the car.

Bekah was practically dancing as their plane landed Wednesday evening in Columbus. She was excited to have Jon back in her hometown even if it was only for a few days. Brynn was tasked to plan a small get together Friday evening for Bekah’s birthday but Jon told Bekah he wanted to explore her city just the two of them on Thursday. With everyone working and Jon not having hockey the thought of just meandering around Columbus was exciting.

“I want to go down to the river and walk.” Jon rounds the corner of their hotel room.

“Tae, it’s freezing outside! I thought we could do some of the inside things. You know, Art Museum or the Conservatory.” Bekah has a puzzled look plastered on her face.

“Come on, bundle up. We can do all the indoor things you want after lunch.” He kissed her lips and shuffled her towards the luggage.

“Maybe I should just wear my beach wear!” Bekah chuckles while looking over how ridiculous her luggage looked.

“I mean, I would love it but you might get frostbite in some interesting places.” Jon answers while Bekah comes out dressed in layers, her peacoat and knit hat already on.

“My gloves are missing.” Bekah shoves her hands in her pockets again.

“I’ll buy you new ones today and I’ll keep you warm on our walk. Promise!” Jon wraps her up and they head out to the street and towards the river. “This really is a beautiful area.” Jon breathes in the cold air and looks from the river to the buildings.

“I love it but don’t miss it as much as I thought I would.” Bekah snuggles into Jon’s side as he pulls her shoulder into him.

“I’m glad you said that. I never thought I’d get you to leave honestly. I dropped so many hints.” Jon shifts his weight and clears his throat.

“I remember. Every time you would say anything about Chicago I would doubt how someone like you would want me. I still sometimes don’t know how I got so lucky.” Bekah looks up at Jon. “You okay, Tae?” He stops walking and looks deep into Bekah’s hazel eyes the light hitting just right that the gold flecks dance.

“I’m the lucky one Beks. Something drew me to you in those tunnels like a magnet.” Jon whispers and places his forehead on Bekah’s. “I couldn’t stop thinking about you. I had to know more about you. Every time we were together I fell a little more for you. I counted down the weeks and months until the next time we could find our way back to each other.” Jon holds Bekah’s hips and she turns her head to take in his expression.

“Me too, Tae. What’s this about? You okay?” She removes her hand from her pocket and runs her thumb over his cheek. Jon places his hand over hers and breaths in deep.

“I’m more than okay. I love you Beks. I’ll love you forever if you let me. Always will. I, uh, I asked your dad a question in Chicago when they were there for Christmas.” Jon moves from their close embrace and drops to one knee. Bekah brings her hand right hand over her mouth since Jon hadn’t let go of her left.

“Are you... Tae?” Bekah whispers through her fingers and Jon looks up at her with all the love they share and tears forming.

“Rebekah Marie Pierce, will you do me the honor and become my wife?” Jon pulls out a box from his pocket and opens it with his fingers. Bekah gasps. “Beks, will you marry me?” Jon gulps.

“Yes.” Bekah nods her head, a happy tear breaks free from her eye as she whispers. Jon jolts to his feet and pulls her body into his, kissing her deeply. He breaks away and takes the ring out of the box.

“May I?” He smiles down at her and she nods her head. Jon slips the ring on her finger and breathes out a sigh of relief.

“Tae, this ring is perfect.” Bekah wiggles her cold fingers taking in the spectacular ring. Round diamond set in a vintage style halo rose gold band.

“I created it just for you.” Jon huffs and Bekah looks up at him.

“Were you holding your breath?” She questions and kisses him tenderly.

“Yeah. I know we love each other but that proposal could go one or two ways. You freaking out on me or just saying yes because you know this love we have will last a lifetime.” Bekah giggles at Jon’s admission.

“Well Brynn and I did discuss it and she reminded me that we have been together for awhile even without naming it.” Jon dips down and kisses her. Bekah’s hands come up to cup his face.

“Damn, your hands are cold. Maybe I shouldn’t have stolen your gloves.” Jon laughs.

“You stole my gloves?” Bekah pulls her hands to her lips and blows on them.

“Well I was nervous and didn’t want to fumble and lose the ring. Plus you won’t need them after our appointment.” Jon looks at his watch.

“Appointment?” Bekah’s voice raises.

“We have pedicures and you have a manicure after lunch. Figured there will be some pictures and showing off of the ring at dinner tomorrow.” Jon pulls her hand to his lips and kisses it. “So where does my fiancée want to go for lunch? I didn’t plan that.”

“Fiancée... whelp. Yup. You are my fiancé aren’t ya?” Bekah feels her cheeks flood with heat.

“Yes, fiancée and soon my wife. I think Mrs. Toews might become my favorite name for you... for now.” Jon runs his cold thumb over Bekah’s warm cheek making her shutter. “So Beks, lunch?” He brushes his lips against hers and starts walking back towards their hotel. Bekah decided on the same tiny cafe she took Jon to in 2015. He of course remembered their conversation about mind blowing sex and couple’s laugher bounced off the walls once more.

“I’ve never had a pedicure with a man.” Bekah’s hand slides into Jon’s as they dip their feet in the water. Jon’s fingers spinning the engagement ring around her finger.

“We should do it more often back home. I enjoy them and they are good for me feet after being in skates so much.” Jon brings their joined hands up to his lips. “This ring looks perfect on you.” Jon whispers and Bekah nods. “Are we telling anyone today or waiting until your birthday dinner tomorrow?”

“Let’s wait. Surprise them all.” Bekah giggles. “Maybe FaceTime your parents in? David?”

“They know already. Mom has been hounding me thinking I was proposing on Christmas then she thought I’d do it at the Winter Classic but when I told her I wanted to propose where we met she got all excited and told me she cannot wait to have you officially in the family.”

“So that’s why she asked me if there was anything new going on at Christmas and I went on and on about the foundation stuff.” Jon laughs.

“I’m assuming she may have thought you didn’t want to wear the ring.” He spins it again.

“I don’t want to take it off ever!” Bekah smiles as the Jon finishes his pedicure and walks across the street to grab coffees while Bekah moves to her manicure.

“He looks familiar.” The girl doing her nails says while working.

“Oh really?” Bekah smiles sweetly.

“Yeah, I cannot place why but something about him. He from here?” She looks up and Bekah tries to hide her amusement.

“No, Canada actually.” This stops the line of question and Jon reenters to pay and the two head to the car.

“Where to now Beks?” Jon asks after starting the car.

“Hotel is good. Curious...” Bekah bites her lip and Jon’s foot hits the gas making them laugh.

“I thought we were exploring today?” Jon turns toward their hotel.

“Tomorrow. We need to celebrate.” Bekah scratches at the back of his neck.

Jon quickly found his way to the hotel and pins Bekah to the side of the car. “You know, after all this time I’m still not a posed to taking you right here. It’s no longer your home or where you work.” Jon bites at Bekah’s ear.

“Or you can take me upstairs and not get out of bed until noon tomorrow?” Bekah nibbles at his lips. Jon stands and interlaces his fingers in Bekah’s. They make their way into the lobby and here Jon’s name. Some guy in a White Sox hat nods and Bekah shoves her left hand in her pocket. After stopping for a picture the couple was off again. Jon barely had the door latched before his lips were pressed against Bekah’s and her back against the wall. His hands reach down to cup her ass the lift her up. Bekah’s arms wrapped tightly around his neck. They wasted no time disrobing. Jon hovering over Bekah with his hardened cock. Bekah lifts her hips to rub the tip on her click. She exhaled with the sensation then Jon pressed in. His rhythm intentional hitting every spot he knows would elicit filthy sounds from Bekah’s mouth.

“Come on Beks. I’m there. Come with me.” Jon lifts his body from her’s to change the angle. Bekah slides her finger between their bodies and rubs her clit. “Fuck that’s hot.” Jon presses hard into Bekah sending their orgasms crashing over them. “Fuck. Damn. Fuck.” Jon grunts out as Bekah moves her hand before he crashes into her. Rolling off his hand reaches right in the center of his v line.

“What are you doing?” Bekah questions with a deep breath.

“Checking for blood. I’m good!” Bekah props up and looks to where Jon’s hand was. Fresh scratches had turned his skin pink.

“Fuck. Tae. Did I do that? I’m sorry.” Her fingers tenderly touch the scratches.

“Technically self inflicted since I gave you the ring. Learning curve. Plus you’ve seen some of my injuries. A little scratch is nothing.” Jon pulls her body on top of his and kisses her sweetly. “Round two in a minute there future Mrs. Toews?”

“Rebekah Toews. That doesn’t sound horrible.” Bekah starts to laugh and Jon catches her lips.

“Sounds fucking amazing.” He kisses her again. “I’m so glad you said yes.” Jon kisses her again and roll their bodies for more.

The sun woke both Jon and Bekah up the next morning. The evening of celebrating evident on their tired faces. How about we have breakfast, go do something then nap before dinner?” Jon whispers into his fiancée’s hair.

“Sounds amazing Babe.” Bekah starts to move and Jon pulls her back into his chest.

“I know I keep saying it but I’m so glad you said yes.” Jon kisses her temple.

“I really worried you didn’t I?” Bekah looks up at him and he nods. “Well I’m sorry. I never want you to question that I love you.” Bekah’s heart bings.

“That’s not it, Beks, I know you love me but nine months together and four years is a big difference.”

“I know and I freaked out for most of those four years and looking back I wonder what would have happened if I just let it happen.” Bekah whispers.

“I wonder all the time what would have happened if I met you back in Chicago in my rookie year.” Jon admits.

“I would have never met Rin.” Bekah realizes and Jon opens his mouth then closes it. “Speaking of, we need to get going to do something touristy before dinner.” Bekah pulls Jon’s tired body out of bed and to the shower. The two made their way around Columbus. Jon decided he wanted to see things she loved growing up. Bekah took him by her schools, the playground a boy kissed her on when they were five, her grandparents’ house she spent every Christmas at until he passed and Grandma moved. Jon pictured Bekah in every step. Every piece that made her, her. Before they knew it they were sitting in front of Derek and Brynn’s house. Bekah’s parents car sitting in the drive way. The two looked at each other.

“Ready?” Jon asked.

“Ready!” Bekah answered popping out of the car and into his embrace. The couple walked through the door and Brynn was the first to catch the ring on Bekah’s finger.

“Is that.... eeeeeeekkkkkkk?!?!” Brynn squeals with delight and rushes her best friend. Jon nods at Jim and Marie comes over to gush over the ring.

“So when’s the wedding?” Bekah hears her Grandmother’s voice from the couch.

“We haven’t...” Bekah starts.

“I was hoping this summer.” Jon matter of factly states and looks over at Bekah’s stunned face.

“Oh that soon. Would there be a reason?” Bekah’s grandmother questions and all heads snap in her direction then at Bekah’s. She feels the heat rising in her cheeks and her mouth goes dry.

There’s a story behind all fine jewelry. And that story should be handed down from generation to generation. How and where it was acquired, for what occasion, for whom, and who it has belonged to previously. We see jewelry everyday that has been passed down from mothers to daughters, and in some cases it is in just as pristine as the day it was bought. Fine jewelry should be cherished and adored. Fine jewelry should be coveted and treated like a treasure. In our opinion if the right jewelry is chosen by the right person, it will become an heirloom and it’s story will be born. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Let’s take a close look at these spectacular earrings in which my team was commissioned to create using the finest emeralds and diamonds. The design called for flexibility and the fabrication process involved a bit of trial and error to ensure just the right amount. Although these were custom made and will never be made again, we would love the opportunity to design another pair using different stones and perhaps even a totally different shape. Anyone have any ideas :) •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Earring Specs: Size: 2” long 25 grams (for the pair) Metal is 18K white gold 140 stones total 💎 the diamond carat weight was 4.03 carats and the emeralds weighed a total of 8 carats. The craftsmanship was shared by several master jewelers and one of the best diamond setters in the world. Needless to say, no expense was spared and these earrings will be loved and cherished for several generations to come. #emeralds #finejewelry #emeraldearrings #diamonds #bling #finegemstones #jewelrysketch #pearshapes #marquisdiamonds #heirlooms #storyandhearts (at Colts Neck, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTextX8rNYp/?utm_medium=tumblr

A Blind Meeting

Chapter 1

🦇🐞🦇🐞🦇🐞🦇🐞

It wasn’t long after I graduated from le lycée that I moved away from Paris, France to live in America. I received my scholarship to Gotham University in New Jersey for my Fashion degree. My parents had wanted me to just stay close to home in case any thing were to happen to me in my predicament. But with full assurance and Tikki’s help, I was able to go.

So after a summer of spending time with my parents, them helping me look for a place to live in Gotham, I started school. The apartment we choose was old and had a few break ins, but it had character. My dad was hesitant about this but Tikki and I had a good feeling. The building was just like home, an apartment over a shop. Tikki and Plagg zipped around the building as my parents and I talked to the realtor and signed the ownership documents. This is where my new life began.

Three years later, I finished my bachelor degree and running a successful bakery called “The Sleeping Bug-Mice” with an boutique in the back. My twenty-sixth birthday was in a couple weeks and I had a big plan coming. My former team were coming out to visit and I wanted their first time in Gotham to be the best. It was a quiet morning so I took the opportunity to sit at the counter and started designing out a plan. I was chewing on the eraser of my pencil when I heard the bell ring. Teeks, adopted redhead, barked lifting my attention to the door and smiled.

“Good morning, how may I assist you today?” I asked sweetly, closing the book, and slide it under the counter.

“Hello miss, can I get a large coffee?” His voice had a sweet tone to it, yet just a little rough.

“Of course, would you like sugar or anything in it?”

“No thank you.” I nodded and began preparing his coffee. I began to start humming, feeling Noir crawl around my feet briefly until the guest gasped I knew where Noir went to.

“Noir, no sir get off the counter.” I finished the coffee, placed the to go cup on the counter, and picked up Noir moving him back to the floor. “I’m sorry about him. Anything else I may get you?”

“No need to apologize and no thank you this is great. How much?” He sipped his drink before he fiddled in the pockets of his pants.

“It’s on the house. First time customers deal.” Smiling, I took the items I used and brought them to the back to wash. Teeks hadn’t moved from her spot when I left, watching the man. He moved to a table and pulled out a chair to sit on. I came back out to kneel down to pet Teeks getting her relax. Noir didn’t want to be good decided to mess with our customer. This went on until lunch rush when the man finally left and customers began to roll in.

The day went by quickly but once I closed the shop and closed the curtains Tikki and the other kwamis came out. They sat down on the counter nibbling on their treats.

“You know, he looked important.” Kaalki said with a dreamy tone.

“No I don’t know. Care to describe him for me.” I teased, resting my chin on my hands and listened. Kaalki gushed about how black hair slicked back as a business man, clear deep blue eyes, and was wearing a black and white suit to boot. “Honestly it looked uncomfortable. But who am I to judge on another’s person’s clothing.” She gave a giggle then munched on the super cube.

“Yeah, but did you see how he acted toward Noir. That mischief cat just stared at him.” Plagg said.

“You mean like you would have done before running off to sleep.” Trixx said receiving a laugh from plagg.

“He was definitely interested in you Mari. If only you could have seen how many times he looked toward you.” Pollen said finishing off her honey cup.

“Oh please your exaggerating. Who will help me tonight as we go running. Teeks?” I looked down toward my dog who barked at me followed by a meow from Noir. “Anyone else?”

“Me me me! I wanna partner up with Teeks!” Trixx shouted almost throwing her cookie in the air.

“Can I be partnered with Noir?” Plagg of all kwami asked.

“Well then. Nooroo can you merge with me and tikki?” I asked fixing my hair to drop over my shoulders.

“Of course guardian.” Nooroo has been more energetic since I saved him from Gabriel’s grasp but there are times I had caught him sitting alone with a sad expression.

“Perfect! Take your dishes to the sink and I’ll wash them in the morning. Meet you guys all upstairs.” Teeks walked with me upstairs staying beside my leg as Noir laid on her back. I unlocked my apartment, headed for my bedroom, and changed into my pajamas so I come home and go straight to bed when we were done. It’s been a few weeks since we last went running, but tonight was a good night to go. After everyone was inside the apartment, I locked the doors and windows, then went up the attic to the roof. Pollen, Tikki, and Wazz tended to the garden since we moved here, I have never seen a sad flower. So proud of my family.

“Ready guys? Tikki spots on. Nooroo, Tikki, unify.” We merged together and the power of emotion and creativity surged my body letting me see everything around me.

“Oooooo you look so cool!” Trixx said excitedly. She transformed with Teeks allowing the dog to use telepathy. Teeks was a red haired canine, now draped in orange and white vest and a orange mask that covered her ears. Plagg followed suit turning the once blonde cat into a black cat wearing a Bat like mask across his face.

“Ready to go Guardian.” Teeks said into my mind. With nod we stepped onto the edge of the building then fall forward catching our wings on the wind draft flying toward the next building. The night air was calming, quiet even. As we jumped from building to building around the Diamond district of Gotham landing ourselves onto a roof top across the border of Fashion District. A silent alarm went off at one of the jewelry stores on the south location of the district.

“Looks like it’s a common robbery Captain. Shall we help?” I asked Teeks running across the roof tops toward the robbed building.

“I think a mirage could do the trick.” Teeks barked loudly toward the door forcing a mirage of police officers surrounding the building. Noir slipped inside first. The men were screaming shooting their guns around erratically. “Oh great, we let him play with fools.” I laughed at Teeks words. We heard thumps from across of us. I stepped back into the shadows watching an outline of a man and a boy kneel down assessing the situation. Noir chased the robbers out, they held their hands over their head and knelt to the ground mumbling about a crazy bat throwing things at them. The man and boy jumped down, walking through Teeks mirage making the policemen vanish into smoke, and cuffed them up.

“Well this is new Batman, usually we just have to beat them to surrender.” The boy spoke first. He bad a teenager sound, no older than maybe a junior high lodge. I stepped closer to the edge listening to them talk.

“Maybe it’s just a lucky night. The commissioner is on his way. I’m going to head up to the roofs and see what else could be happening.” Batman I assume spoke, he had a more of a rough scratchy voice. Teeks and I stepped back once again hearing the grappling hook hit the roof ledge we were on. We stayed into the shadow watching as the brawny man climbed up over the ledger, dusting off his suit and for a second we locked eyes.

“Who’s there?” The rough voice asked, he took a step toward them until the boy down on the ground grunted doing what sounded like a tackle before the police arrived.

“Robin!” The man turned around and went down to assist the boy, letting me and my partners escape off the roof tops back toward my apartment.

“Too close. Tikki, Nooroo divide. Tikki spots off.” As the energy left my body, I stretched giving a tired yawn.

“Trixx, relax”

“Plagg, claws in” Teeks and Noir returned to their normal state followed with their own yawns. Tikki unlocked the balcony letting us all in. I turned around locking it back up then walked over to my bed, Teeks and Noir joining me. The Kwamis all went into the miracle egg that I redecorated to look more of a center piece in my room. Tikki and plagg laid on my second pillow and we all fell sleep almost instantly.

Buy Solitaire Engagement Ring From The Best NJ Diamond Jewelry Store

** Whether it's a token of your love or celebrating lifelong togetherness, a solitaire diamond ring is an epitome of expressing your love and admiration. When it comes to seeing beautification, a single diamond excludes standing all by itself, without saying it all. However, it doesn't matter whether you choose an oval-shaped solitaire ring or a pear-shaped one; the beauty and charm would never fade away. **

The exquisiteness of the center diamonds is what makes a solitaire ring a quintessential choice for your engagement ring. Solitaire diamond rings from Rauschmayer are timeless yet simple, making them the dream jewelry of many people. It is the only reason, Rauschmayer is the best diamond jewelry store in NJ.

What is the meaning of the Solitaire Engagement Ring?

A solitaire diamond engagement ring has one center stone, simple yet chic. There would be no other diamonds anywhere on the ring. The band should be plain with no pave diamonds, making it ideal for the ladies.  

Solitaire diamond engagement rings are versatile among all the ring styles. Why? It is because of the fact that solitaire diamond rings have only one center diamond, making it easy to cast various other diamond settings. You can go for a traditional setting that is simple to the modern setting by adding some extra flair. It really doesn't matter which design you choose; you can never go wrong with a classic solitaire engagement ring.

Moreover, the possibilities are literally endless when it comes to solitaire diamond rings. Without any second thought, the solitaire ring would stand the test of time and trends. If you want to stay in fashion, a solitaire ring is a perfect choice.

Benefits of Solitaire Engagement Rings ?

One of the very first things that an engaged woman hears from their friends and family is, "Congratulations! Let me see the ring". Most of the people would see the entire ring, while some are scoping out the fine details, shape, and overall style. However, the center stone is always a real winner. Only the center diamond would immediately focus on your one and only stone. It would immediately draw attention to the ring that you want.

One of the biggest benefits of buying a solitaire ring is that it may be much less expensive than other ring styles. However, it completely depends on the diamond carat that adds to the overall cost. If you want to go from a larger center stone, you will stretch your money with just one stone to spend it on.

Timeless Design : Without any second thought, solitaire rings are a classic design that would never go out of style. A solitaire ring is the most popular style that would shine anywhere with its simplicity and brilliance. A stunning solitaire diamond ring would ensure that your ring is trendy now and forever.

A New York Museum Staple Gets a New Glimmer This article is part of our latest special report on Museums, which focuses on reopening, reinvention and resilience. When most of us hear the word “evolution” we think of Charles Darwin or the Lucy skeleton. We generally do not think about nonliving things, like rocks. But in recent years, scientists have begun applying the concept of evolution to a specific nonliving — but ubiquitous — object: minerals. This new perspective allows for a different kind of storytelling about both minerals, which are often found as sparkly, colorful crystals within rock, and the history of the planet. As the American Museum of Natural History in New York City prepares to reopen its redesigned Allison and Roberto Mignone Halls of Gems and Minerals on June 12, evolution is front and center. George Harlow, a geologist who has been the curator of gems and minerals at the museum for nearly 45 years, said when scientists talk about the evolution of inanimate things, they are referring to changes that happen over time. “It’s an answer to the question of why, as life on Earth has changed over the last 4.5 billion years, have nonliving minerals changed too.” Today, there are more than 5,000 species of minerals — over triple the number from when they first developed — and over time they have diversified in chemical composition and color. The story of how that happened, that evolution, is a new one for the museum, Dr. Harlow said. “For the first time in this gallery, we are looking at life’s impact on the mineral kingdom.” The incorporation of this new science (it entered the scientific mainstream around 2008) is evident throughout the galleries, which have been redesigned for the first time since 1976, by Ralph Appelbaum Associates in collaboration with the museum’s exhibition department, led by Lauri Halderman, vice president for exhibitions at the museum. The old iteration of the exhibit hall was dark and had a layout reminiscent of Chutes and Ladders: stairs and winding passages filled with interactive exhibits and touchable rocks. But all that has changed. The space is much less of a labyrinth now, Ms. Halderman said. “And less mysterious.” The redesign feels spacious, brighter and intentional, with higher ceilings and a palette of neutral grays; even the lighting inside the cases has been meticulously planned and executed. Entering the new space, visitors are greeted by a pair of towering amethyst geodes, one 12 feet high and the other nine. Their massive interiors look a little like the universe itself, with pinpoints of white light scattered among glittering, dark purple crystals. In each glass case, minerals are displayed with the help of custom handmade mounts — a specialty of the museum — so that each specimen appears to be floating. In fact, the whole gallery is designed to let the minerals and gems take center stage, with little distraction. “This is very conscious on our part,” Ms. Halderman said. “We want the room to recede when you’re here. Although it’s a beautiful space, it’s not the focus.” Touch screens in the galleries will remain untouchable monitors for now, although one has been adapted so that visitors can see the information on their phones. One of the first exhibits is a spiraling timeline. A tiny dot of light at center signifies the Big Bang (although Dr. Harlow noted light did not actually exist then) and moves outward, with lines marking events that made possible the birth of minerals, including the formation of the solar system, the development of the Earth’s crust and the emergence of life. And then there are the colors. One of the more compelling of those events was “the great oxygenation,” a period when the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans first experienced a rise in oxygen, between 2 billion and 2.5 billion years ago, which resulted in a burst of color in minerals, a characteristic that hadn’t existed before. The exhibit includes some spectacular examples, like an intense blue-green chrysocolla; a pockmarked, deep orange crocoite; and a glittery, blood-red chunk of rhodochrosite. Storytelling plays a big role in these exhibits, whether about shifting continental plates, the movement of water or the history of a particular mine. “Science standards today emphasize big ideas that connect across disciplines, such as patterns in nature, cause and effect, structure and function,” Ms. Halderman said. “Those help you understand how minerals form, but also how everything forms.” In the Gem Hall, about 2,000 of the museum’s collection of more than 4,700 gems are displayed in warmly lit cases lining a three-sided room. Gems are minerals, too, ones that have been cut, ground and polished to enhance their appearance. Old favorites are still here but shown in an entirely new light (quite literally), like the luminous 563-carat Star of India Sapphire and the 632-carat Patricia Emerald. A new addition to the collection, donated by the New York jewelry dealer Siegelson, is the Organdie Necklace, designed by Michelle Ong, with more than 110 carats of diamonds set in platinum and made to resemble a delicately woven lace collar. (The necklace was worn by the singer Rihanna on a recent cover of Essence magazine.) Here, too, the focus is on storytelling (for now, small monitors will display a scannable QR code that allows visitors to see identification information on their phones). “We made a decision to use our labels to tell visitors global stories,” Ms. Halderman said. Those includes stories of the places where gems are found, how they are cut, their colors and unique properties, chemical composition, industrial uses, cultural uses and significance. A standout in the redesigned Halls is the Minerals and Light room, with displays that aim to show how light illuminates and interacts with gems and minerals, including those hidden deep within rock. The room feels a bit like a small theater, but in the place of a movie screen is a giant, glass-encased slab of rock — 19 feet long and nine feet high, weighing nearly 10 tons — taken from the Sterling Hill Mine, a once-active zinc mine in New Jersey that is now a mineral and mining museum. In daylight, this hulking rock is just a drab brown, but when hit with ultraviolet light its appearance is transformed, as layers of minerals light up in fluorescent colors. When the wavelength of light changes so do the colors, from stripes of magenta and pale green to an almost blinding orange and lime green. Everywhere in this redesigned gallery are reminders of the importance of both scale and time, and reminders that the living and the nonliving — life and rocks — may seem on the surface to be opposites but are actually deeply and profoundly connected.

Beneath the bling: Lakers championship rings feature many special surprises

Beneath the bling: Lakers championship rings feature many special surprises

By DAVID WHARTON STAFF WRITER JAN. 15, 20215 AM

Coiled snakes and small etchings, like hieroglyphics. Jewels whose exact carat weight holds a secret meaning. You can spot all the clues, if you look closely enough.

The ring that each Lakers player received for winning the 2020 NBA championship is mostly gold and diamonds, glitz and audacity, but there is something subtle lurking beneath the gleam.

The jeweler responsible for the design wanted to document a basketball season unlike any other, a year marked by more than wins and losses. In the space of one — albeit very large — ring, Jason Arasheben has concealed visual references to the death of Kobe Bryant, a global pandemic and social unrest. He calls them his “Easter eggs.”

“We had a lot going on last year,” says Arasheben, who owns the tony Jason of Beverly Hills. “It’s not just how many diamonds you use, it’s how you tell a story.”

Professional sports bling has been a tradition since the early 1920s, when the New York Giants baseball team handed out rings as an alternative to the pocket watch chains, cuff links and engraved tie clips that previously had been given to players.

Simple and stylish was the rule for many years until the New York Yankees went big and brash in the 1970s, igniting an arms race that now has teams in various sports trying to outdo each other — more gold, more gemstones — season after season.

The Lakers will not disclose how much they spent on this latest salvo. With 180 grams of yellow gold and 804 jewels in each, the rings could be worth more than $20,000, setting a new benchmark in extravagance.

If this raises some eyebrows at a time of hardship, team executives believe the players deserve a special gift for persevering through the season. Arasheben wanted to give them a sort of time capsule, an effort not lost on star forward LeBron James.

“It was just a culmination of what we’ve been through,” James told reporters after getting his ring. “So many ups and downs, a lot of adversity.”

And a lot of story to tell.

The helicopter crash that killed Bryant, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven others on Jan. 26, 2020 had the team reeling, struggling to comprehend the loss of an icon who had retired only a few seasons earlier. Before the shock wore off, the coronavirus shutdown brought the NBA to a lurching halt.

By the time games resumed and the Lakers defeated the Miami Heat to win it all in mid-October, there wasn’t much time to make rings for the start of a new season. Team executives called Arasheben. Though best known for such celebrity clients as Drake, Jennifer Lopez and the late Michael Jackson, the 44-year-old jeweler had worked with the Lakers before.

“It made sense because he gets the pulse of this team,” says Linda Rambis, executive director of special projects and confidante to co-owner Jeanie Buss.

A flurry of discussions ensued, ideas flying back and forth.

Some design elements were entirely conventional, starting with a purple-and-gold logo on the face, framed by block letters spelling “World Champions.” The right side, or shank, featured each player’s name and jersey number. The left shank listed the Lakers’ playoff opponents and results of each series. This boilerplate information out of the way, Arasheben set to work on smaller touches with larger meanings.

The purple “L” in the logo was fashioned from 17 amethysts, one for each of the 17 championships in franchise history. They weighed .95 carats, a nod to the 95 days that players had spent inside the “bubble,” a Florida complex where all NBA teams lived and competed when the season resumed. Yellow diamonds in the basketball-shaped background totaled .52 carats, equaling the number of regular-season victories.

“It was like a puzzle,” Arasheben says. “We had to be creative in how we built things in.”

There was room to coil two snakes — an homage to Bryant and his “Black Mamba” nickname — behind the jersey numbers. The shanks, shaped vaguely like basketball hoops, got a mesh background. With each addition, it seemed Arasheben or the team would think of something else.

“How do you recognize all of the challenges we went through last year, and then all the bright spots?” Rambis asks. “It was just us wanting to have all of those elements in the ring.”

The work suited Arasheben, a man with a backstory of his own.

The boy loved to draw, doodling portraits, copying the blueprints his architect father brought home. His parents had a different sort of future in mind, telling him: You’re a good talker. You should be a lawyer.

Pre-law classes at UCLA failed to satisfy Arasheben’s artistic bent; they also put him in debt. A friend told him about wholesale stores in the fashion district, so he pooled his money and drove downtown to buy silver trinkets and brightly colored, plastic butterfly hair clips, cheap stuff he could get for $8 a dozen. Back on campus, fellow students stopped by his table and paid well over cost.

“The very first day,” he recalls, “I did $100 in sales.”

These profits paid off tuition with enough left over to hang out at nightclubs where, as an avid NBA fan, Arasheben recognized players among the regulars. They all seemed to be wearing what he recalls as “over-the-top, monstrous” jewelry, which gave him another idea.

Despite an utter lack of experience in the business, he began sketching ornate chains and bracelets, incorporating names and personal details of certain players. Slipping into the club’s VIP section, he approached them, straining to speak over the pounding music: “I’d love to design jewelry for you. In fact, I happen to have a drawing right here.”

They almost always shooed him off, waving away the paper he held in their face. But in 2002, the late New York Knicks star Anthony Mason took a look and liked what he saw. It was both a defining moment and a problem because Arasheben had no idea what to do next.

Stalking the jewelry district, walking from shop to shop, asking questions, he found someone to make the monogrammed bracelet for $50,000. Not only was the profit margin healthy — he says Mason paid $60,000 — the work was creative. Arasheben networked at the NBA draft and All-Star game, meeting other players.

Forget law school, he thought. I want to get into jewelry.

Most teams rely on such established jewelers as Tiffany or Jostens for their rings, so there was no reason to think Arasheben could break into the business. But while selling custom pieces, he made friends with the Buss family that owned the Lakers. Wrangling a meeting with the late Jerry Buss, he told of starting from nothing, a story that seemed to click with Buss, who had built a fortune in real estate.

“I really had no business making their rings,” Arasheben says. “He gave me a chance.”

Things went smoothly at first; the team liked his design of 14 diamonds and white gold in 2009, evoking the white uniforms that players wore on Sundays to honor broadcaster Chick Hearn. Arasheben satisfied Bryant and guard Derek Fisher, who asked to have each player’s face etched on the shank.

But after years of making a few pieces at a time, it was tough producing a batch of 200 or so for players, staff and others. With sleeping bags strewn across the factory floor, Arasheben and his crew worked around the clock.

“We were taking shifts,” he says. “I think we delivered the last ring 30 minutes before the ceremony.”

The team rehired him in 2010, which led to orders from European soccer teams and the Dodgers when they won the 2017 National League pennant. Arasheben made rings for the Golden State Warriors as they captured three NBA titles in four seasons.

“We knew what we did like and we knew what we didn’t like,” Warriors forward Andre Iguodala says in a team video. “From there, we said ‘Use your imagination.’ ”

After the 2018 championship, some Warriors players wanted a blue face, some preferred white. Arasheben engineered a reversible face with diamonds on one side and sapphires on the other. At the team’s ring ceremony, video shows Iguodala demonstrating the switch to others on the bench, telling them to give the face a twist.

“You’re supposed to?” teammate David West asks.

Coach Steve Kerr tries it and blurts: “Oh my god.”

The 2020 Lakers ring posed a different problem as Arasheben kept adding features. Around the rim, he put tiny etchings of the Larry O’Brien Trophy and jersey numbers for every player on the roster that season, even those waived or assigned to the G League before the playoffs.

The left shank had room for a small NBA logo, featuring the silhouette of former Lakers great Jerry West. On the right, Arasheben fit the team’s mantra that season, “Leave A Legacy,” along with the player name and number and snakes.

Still, he needed more space.

The first championship rings, the ones handed out by the New York Giants in 1922, were relatively simple. Brushed gold, a single diamond, nothing to set the world on fire but the timing was right.

“Pocket watches were going out of fashion,” says John Odell, a curator at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. There was no need for jeweled fobs or watch chains because “no longer was it stylish to show off a little bling across your belly.”

The new trend began with relatively tame signet rings, then graduated to something in the neighborhood of a high school class ring. More size translated into more detail; legendary football coach Vince Lombardi took charge of the design for his Green Bay Packers in the late 1960s and made sure to include a crown from his family crest.

There have been a few small quirks in recent years. After a squirrel bounded across home plate during the 2011 playoffs, the champion St. Louis Cardinals included a tiny image of the rodent. Two years later, the Boston Red Sox — known for their unshaven appearance — stamped a beard on the inside of their rings.

But glitz and bulk have dominated since New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner splashed “NY” in diamonds across the face of a large ring in 1977 and an even bigger one in 1996. The Lakers noted the trend in 2000, engraving “Bling Bling” on their shank. Three years later, the Florida Marlins spent a reported $20,000 each for a design encrusted with hundreds of diamonds.

“Overtly ostentatious,” Odell calls it.

Team owners were spending far more than the modest allowances the NFL and Major League Baseball afforded its winning teams. As weights topped three ounces, the rings had become so large that Jostens suggested wearing them “on your middle finger may be more comfortable in terms of balance.”

Arasheben acknowledges the trend is “getting a little ridiculous. It’s getting to the point where you’re just going to give the players a diamond plate.” But that didn’t slow him down with the Lakers this winter.

“Other manufacturers have tried to outdo us,” he says. “This year, we tried to outdo them one more time.”

There were 71 days between the title-winning game against the Heat and the ceremony the Lakers wanted to hold at their season opener in December. Most of that time was spent on design.

When Arasheben finally ran out of space, he reached back to an old trick with the detachable face. Same solution for a different problem.

“This time,” he says, “we needed to create more real estate.”

A 45-degree twist reveals a secondary face underneath, bearing images of the 12 retired jerseys that hang in Staples Center, including the one with a microphone instead of a number for Hearn. Bryant’s two jerseys — he wore No. 8 and No. 24 during his career — are accentuated in a darker color. As further tribute, a snakeskin texture serves as the background.

This gimmick also left space to reference last spring, when Americans took to the streets, protesting the death of George Floyd.

Pro athletes in basketball, baseball and other sports staged walkouts. James helped form More Than a Vote, an organization that has fought voter suppression and drew more than 42,000 volunteers to work at polling stations for the November election. Arasheben used the underside of the face to etch the word “Unity.”

“We wanted something the players could show their grandchildren,” he says. “Something to remember.”

The rings were handed out at an unusual ceremony last month, the stands empty because of coronavirus restrictions. Players stepped up, one by one, to podiums at midcourt while family members spoke from the videoboard above. “I know this has been a very difficult year for everyone here,” NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said.

Still, James called it a “pretty cool feeling” to celebrate with teammates, a chance to look back on all they had been through. “So many story lines,” he said.

And only one ring to tell them.
