The Champions’ Rings at Milano P1 2026 will be awarded to the four winners of the men’s and women’s finals, alongside their trophies. Each ring contains 72 gemstones: 56 diamonds, eight rubies and eight emeralds. The idea, inspired by major US sporting leagues, is a first for Premier Padel.
Champions’ Rings at Milano P1: 72 gemstones
Designed by Lagati Padel Jewels, the rings feature the Duomo di Milano, the city’s famous cathedral, against a black background. The building is outlined with 48 diamonds in three different sizes. A circle of green, white and red stones around the design evokes the Italian flag.
Angela Lagati, the jewellery company’s owner, says the outer circle uses eight emeralds, eight diamonds and eight rubies. Together with the stones depicting the cathedral, each ring therefore contains 72 precious stones, including 56 diamonds. Of those stones, 48 form the cathedral and another 24 reproduce Italy’s three colours.
“To create the Duomo at the centre of the ring, we used 48 diamonds in three different sizes.”
Coloured stones sit on either side of the diamonds, mirroring the Italian tricolour. Tournament organisers revealed the design details on 13 October, as main-draw matches were getting under way at the Allianz Cloud.
Two miniature padel rackets hidden inside each ring
The detail that is hardest to spot is on the inside. Two adjustable wings shaped like small padel rackets help the ring fit fingers of different sizes. Their purpose is therefore practical as well as decorative, giving the sport a place in the structure of the jewellery.
Angela Lagati says the project combines the sporting tradition of championship rings with her firm’s 35 years of jewellery-making experience. The idea is to give the winners something personal they can keep and wear, rather than another trophy destined to sit on a shelf.
Who will receive the rings, and when?
Like the championship rings awarded in the NBA and NFL, these jewels are additional awards rather than replacements for trophies. They will go to two men and two women from the winning pairs. According to the FIP, the finals start on Sunday 18 October 2026 at 3 pm at the Allianz Cloud. The recipients have yet to be decided.
Qualifying at the Milano P1 2026 began on 10 October, with the main draw running from 12 to 18 October. Match scores can be followed through Actu Padel’s results centre, while the official tournament website explains the jewellery design.
