The Eagles danced deep into the night following their Super Bowl LII championsh­ip ring ceremony Thursday, several players sharing the noisy celebratio­n via social media.

The Jostens ring is made of pure 10-karat white gold and features 219 diamonds, and 17 rare green sapphires according to the Eagles.

To memorializ­e the Philly Special, the bezel is composed of 127 diamonds – the sum of Corey Clement, Trey Burton and Nick Foles, who collaborat­ed on the quarterbac­k-eligible scoring play against the Patriots.

The ring is inscribed with the “Fly Eagles Fly” fight son on the outer band and a dog mask on the inner band, the latter a reference to their underdog status last season.

And yes, Eagles fans can purchase replicas at www.jostens. com/eagles.

Several members of the championsh­ip team who have moved on to other clubs or just moved on were at the ceremony, including Mychal Kendricks. Beau Allen, Najee Goode and Torrey Smith.

Running back Jay Ajayi summed up the event before he got there.

“I’m excited to get the ring and get that out of the way,” Ajayi said. “But we’re already on to next year – and getting ready for another Super Bowl ring.”
