EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- Big Upset. Big Super Bowl ring.

The New York Giants unveiled the design of their Super Bowl championship ring on Tuesday, a white gold sparkler that will feature about 1.5 carats in diamonds.

The new ring will even make seven-time Pro Bowl defensive end Michael Strahan happy.

Shortly after New York won the championship with a 17-14 win over the previously undefeated New England Patriots, Strahan said he wanted a "10-table ring."

Loosely defined: He wanted a ring that could be seen 10 tables away in a restaurant.

"There was some discussion about maybe one of the rings was too big," said center Shaun O'Hara, who was among group of players and team executives who designed the ring with officials from Tiffany and Co.

"I threw out the fact that it was a big win, it was a huge win, so the ring should be designed accordingly," O'Hara said. "Michael said it best when he said he wanted a 10-table ring. I think everybody is going to be very pleased with the design. It is very clean, very classy, but at the same time it is very strong."


Giants spokesman Pat Hanlon would not disclose the price of the ring.

The rings will be presented to the Giants players and coaches at a ceremony later in the spring.
