2019 Pacific Coast Open Championship Ring
The 2019 PCO Championship Ring features a completely new face design, but maintains certain aspects of the 2018 ring in an order to create cohesiveness from year to year. The new round face features 110 natural fancy black diamonds and white VS diamonds to celebrate this year’s 110th PCO. In the middle, a hand-carved polo pony appears wearing an Argentine braided halter, which is an element synonymous with polo. The 2019 hand-carved under gallery features a horseshoe, which is sure to bring good luck to the winning team year after year. The PCO trophy is rich in history and tradition, so we kept the hand-carved eagle and leaf detail from the trophy the same, as well as the hand-carved Santa Barbara Polo and Racquet Club logo, in an effort to preserve the identity of the PCO Championship and the SBPRC in the ring year after year. These elements allow the PCO ring to stand out with a level of cohesion and uniqueness never seen before.
2018 Pacific Coast Open Championship Ring
For the 2018 ring, Tara drew inspiration from the awe-inspiring PCO trophy and decided to create the majestic piece in 14KT white gold. The ornate leaf work that drapes the trophy also drapes the shoulders of the ring and outlines a hand-carved logo of the Santa Barbara Polo and Racquet Club to represent the location of the PCO. The mighty eagle that sits atop the trophy is also hand-carved into the front and back of the ring’s mounting to symbolize the strength and perseverance it takes to conquer the PCO championship. The ring also boasts 109 hand-set natural fancy black diamonds and white VS diamonds to reflect the 109-year history of the Pacific Coast Open. One of the most creative details of the ring is the hand-carved polo pony under gallery which is the part of the ring that touches the top of your finger when wearing it. Under galleries can’t be seen while wearing a ring and are added for comfort, which is why they are usually only seen in fine jewelry like the PCO Championship Ring.
