Famed
Jason of Beverly Hills founder and designer Jason Arasheben – known for
creating edgy and lavish statement jewelry for celebrities and athletes
including Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey, Sean “Diddy” Combs, Katy Perry,
Rihanna, Justin Bieber and LeBron James – returns as the exclusive championship
jewelry designer for the 2013 World Series of Poker® (WSOP).
The 2013 WSOP Main Event bracelet includes
more than 28 carats of brilliant white diamonds – including two black diamonds
and two rubies to represent each card suit – set within more than 220 grams of
14-carat white gold. The masterpiece required 250 hours of labor to design and
produce.
For the first time, the WSOP Main Event
bracelet will also be customized to the winner, as the bracelet design includes
the two “hole cards” dealt during the WSOP Main Event final hand. Immediately
after the event, Arasheben will laser cut each card to correspond to the
winning hand of the new World Champion.
“WSOP
is a high stakes tournament for risk takers. Poker players constantly have to
make bold moves and are unafraid to take on a challenge. The design of the 2013
WSOP Main Event bracelet fully embodies that attitude,” said Jason Arasheben,
founder of Jason of Beverly Hills. “This piece truly is the definitive sports
trophy.”
In
addition to the WSOP Main Event bracelet, Jason of Beverly Hills designed and
created the 74 championship bracelets awarded throughout the tournament,
including all Las Vegas designs, as well as jewelry for the WSOP Asia-Pacific
in Melbourne, Australia and the WSOP Europe event in Paris, France.
The approximate appraisal value of all 2013
WSOP bracelets is nearly $1,000,000 – including the Main Event bracelet, which
is considered among the most expensive pieces of championship jewelry across
all major sports.
