Deep under the ground in Western Australia, billions of years ago, a story began—the story of the Argyle Pink Diamonds. James Thredgold is honoured to be associated with these stunning diamonds and their journey to our workshop.

Step into the world of craftsmanship and celebration as we delve into the journey of creating the first-ever World Cup Championship ring for the Australian Men’s Cricket team. At James Thredgold Jeweller, our team embarked on a momentous project, blending artistry with symbolism to honour cricketing excellence on a global stage.

The ICC ODI Cricket World Cup Trophy stands as the pinnacle of achievement in One Day International cricket, embodying years of dedication and skill. From inception to completion, every detail of the championship rings was meticulously crafted to reflect this outstanding achievement.

The rings feature a striking halo of diamonds and tsavorite garnets—the world’s rarest garnets—meticulously paired with yellow gold to symbolise the iconic green and gold of Australia. Each ring is personalised with the player’s name and cap number, while a silhouette representing wickets and the three columns of the World Cup Trophy adorns the design.

At the heart of the ring lies a white gold cricket ball, paying homage to the essence of the one-day game. The result? A masterpiece that encapsulates the spirit of victory and camaraderie.

We are honoured to have been entrusted with the creation of these rings, extending our heartfelt congratulations to the Australian Men’s Cricket team for their outstanding achievements in 2023. Join us in celebrating the artistry and dedication behind these iconic pieces of sporting history.
