The customised piece isn’t an official championship ring like the ones Tom Brady and his Tampa Bay Buccaneer teammates will receive for winning the Super Bowl, instead The Weeknd’s is an original piece created by celebrity jewellery designer, Elliot Eliantte.

Included in the ring is a big XO across the top, 16 carats of VVS diamonds, the words “World Champions”, and an image of the Vince Lombardi championship trophy. The ring also has The Weeknd’s name, the score from the game, the date, and the Pepsi logo, since it sponsored the halftime show.

The Weeknd was reportedly gifted the ring to on his 31st birthday, which he celebrated on Tuesday (February 16).
