The jubilation of a winning a third straight Stanley Cup is represented in this stunning 14-karat gold and diamond ring. Celebrating the 1977-78 Montreal Canadiens' championship, this substantial bauble weighs about 41 grams and was presented to the late Ron "Prof" Caron, the Habs' assistant general manager. Larry Robinson won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the Canadiens hoisted the Cup in Boston for a second straight year. Guy Lafleur continued his dominant ways, reaching the 60-goal mark and winning the Art Ross, Hart and Lester Pearson trophies. Ken Dryden shared the Vezina with Bunny Larocque, Serge Savard took the Bill Masterton and Bob Gainey was awarded the first Selke Trophy as the league's best defensive forward. This spectacular ring displays a dazzling tableau with a huge diamond in a diamond-shaped gold setting in the middle encircled by 24 smaller diamonds floating in a sea of white gold. "N.H.L. Champions 1978" surrounds it all on the bezel. "Coupe Stanley Cup" banner on the left shank with Club de Hockey Canadien at the bottom and each of the team's 21 Cup championship years surrounds a likeness of Lord Stanley's chalice. "Caron" is spelled out above the the CH logo on the right shank with "Champions Est-East 59-10-11" below it reflecting Montreal's incredible regular season mark. "Jostens 14K" is stamped inside the size 10 1/2 band which displays Caron's engraved facsimile signature. Sharp details remain on this beautifully-preserved gem which has a tiny nick below the "P" on the bezel and otherwise displays a few light scratches and scuffs.
