The rings are comprised of one marquee stone that commemorates the Crimson Tide's 2020 national title. Two more round stones signify two national titles — the number won by the team's graduating seniors.
Surrounding the three CFP trophies is 135 other stones, each representing a point scored in the SEC Championship, CFP Semifinal and national championship games. In the border surrounding the top of the ring, 52 stones are embedded to represent the number of points scored in both the SEC title and national title games.
On the outside of the ring are 18 princess-cut red stones signifying the program's 18 national championship victories.
One side of the ring depicts the players' name and number, while on the opposite side sports a depiction of Hard Rock Stadium in Miami along with the score of the CFP title game.

Following the presentation, players and other members of the team took to social media to share images of their rings:
