Nothing feels better in a competitive environment than coming out as the best once the dust settles. Usually, those standing last are rewarded. Think — Olympic medals, championship belts in boxing and now even the NBA Summer League championship rings.
And if you think those are nice, wait until you get a glimpse of what Norway’s Espen Jorstad received for his recent World Series of Poker victory in Las Vegas.
No, I’m not just referring to the $10 million in prize money he took home for winning the tournament (although, SHEESH).
I’m talking jewelry, bling, ice — a 55.48-carat gold bracelet with nearly 2,000 diamonds.
Jostens reveals the @WSOP winning bracelet given to Norway’s Espen Jorstad has 1,985 diamonds, 671 black diamonds and 111 rubies for a total carat weight of 55.48. There is removable, solid-gold poker chip attached at the back that can be used as a card protector. pic.twitter.com/WS0y903zfZ

A removable gold poker chip that can be used as a card protector? I thought I had seen it all. This is some creative stuff.
My question is this: Is this bracelet something y’all would wear around? Or is it too valuable?
These prizes keep getting better and better.
