EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - Big Upset. Big Super Bowl ring. The New York Giants unveiled the design of their Super Bowl championship ring on Tuesday, a white gold sparkler that will feature about 1.5 carats in diamonds. The new ring will even make seven-time Pro Bowl defensive end Michael Strahan happy. Shortly after New York won the championship with a 17-14 win over the previously undefeated New England Patriots, Strahan said he wanted a ‘10-table ring.’ Loosely defined: He wanted a ring that could be seen 10 tables away in a restaurant.

But how big is too big when you have a big win? 1.5 carats turned out to be a nice compromise. The ring features three diamond-studded trophies for the Giants’ Super Bowl XXI, XXV and XLII victories, a NY logo in diamonds, and channel-set diamonds on each side. No photos yet; the rings will be presented to the Giants later in the spring.



Not satisfied with just any old gin decanter? Check out a collection of five crystal-and-sapphire decanters designed by artist Karim Rachid, each coming in at a hefty $200,000:

Bombay Sapphire Revelation

Each of the five Revelation decanters is handcrafted in France by Baccarat, the creator of the world’s finest luxury crystal. The bottle is cut into the shape of a gemstone with 10 facets, representing the 10 botanicals used to create the taste of Bombay Sapphire. Each Revelation bottle is completed with its own individually designed stopper decorated with sapphires and diamonds and set by the oldest jewelry house in the world, Garrard.

Before going to their new owners, the bottles are being individually exhibited. One can now be seen at London Heathrow airport’s new Terminal Five, and will soon be on display at airports in New York, Dubai, Singapore and Sydney.



Not A Fan Of Camping

If your idea of roughing it is flying commercial carrier or staying in a hotel with less than four stars — or if you’re a devout fan of access to indoor plumbing — the “Not Camping” luggage tag from ModCloth is for you.



A gem from Details, pointed out by my friend Isis:

1.
We’re not living in a very creative era. That’s not good or bad; it’s just the way it is. I think it’s in very bad taste to buy art right now. People should leave it to the hedge-fund owners who want to satisfy their wives. “Hey, I bought a Chinese avant-garde thing.” Good for you.

2.
I think it’s very important to look sexy at home. I hate it when people say, “I will take this to the countryside because it’s not fashionable anymore.” I love being well-dressed when nobody’s looking at me.

3.
At hotels, they always mess up the cleaning. They will do a crease when it’s not necessary. You give them a cotton shirt and they dry-clean it. It smells funny, so you have to rinse it again. So I travel light.

4.
If you can tell a man’s sexuality by the way he dresses—like a “gay” uniform or a “macho” uniform—that’s disgusting.

5.
Nowadays, people work out way too much, and they look like invaders from another planet. A guy who works out two hours a day—focusing on his chest because he thinks it’s sexy—you can’t dress him, even if you send him to the best designer or stylist in the world.

6.
Finance men have money but no taste. They’ll say, “My wife thinks this tie looks good on me.” They don’t focus on what’s beautiful and what’s not beautiful—they leave it to women.

7.
The rock star who uses a personal stylist to dress him should go to jail. If you’re doing rock and roll, you should know how to dress. You shouldn’t need to hire anybody.

8.
Anybody can be a good guest for dinner. When it gets delicate is after one day. The worst guests are the people who come to your place and in the morning they say, “Okay, what do we do today?”

9.
I once wore a pink, ruffled shirt for dinner, and I wish I had never done it. I thought it was funny, but I felt so bad in it I realized I don’t have the humor to deal with ugliness.

10.
After you’re 35, it’s difficult to drink unless you’re running 10 miles a day. I’m not talking one dry martini every Saturday or something. I’m talking three dry martinis a night. And I don’t think that’s possible—it’s too much poisoning. It’s not a very sexy way to talk about drinking, but that’s the truth.
