“We just needed our shot.”
Baron Championship Rings in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, has released a new video showing how it made the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 2016 NBA Championship rings.
Company officials saw the job as Baron’s big break. As one of them explains in the video, “In the past we’ve had a shot at some important rings. Our designs were always the best, but we were often turned down based on our unknown nature against the big boys.”
The design process for such elaborate rings is no simple matter. As Gizmodo explains, “there’s 3D printing, cool flames, light hammering, and a whole lot of detail involved.”
Fortunately, the rings turned out just right.
“We always stayed hungry knowing we just needed our shot,” the official said.

Four Decades of Excellence: How Wilkerson Transformed a Jeweler's Retirement into Celebration
After 45 years serving the Milwaukee community, Treiber & Straub Jewelers owner Michael Straub faced a significant life transition. At 75, the veteran jeweler made a personal decision many business owners understand: "I think it's time. I want to enjoy my wife with my grandchildren for the next 10, 15 years."
Wilkerson's expertise transformed this major business transition into an extraordinary success. Their comprehensive approach to managing the going-out-of-business sale created unprecedented customer response—with lines forming outside the store and limits on how many shoppers could enter at once due to fire safety regulations.
The results exceeded all expectations. "Wilkerson did a phenomenal job," Straub enthuses. "They were there for you through the whole thing, helped you with promoting it, helping you on day-to-day business. I can't speak enough for how well they did." The partnership didn't just facilitate a business closing; it created a celebratory finale to decades of service while allowing Straub to confidently step into his well-earned retirement.
