The left shank features a design consisting of crossed bats, a ball, and glove, as well as a scroll bearing the words "Giants Worlds." The left shank features a scroll reading "Champions," below which is the year, "1922." All of the lettering on each shank is done in raised relief. The face displays a baseball-diamond motif on the top, upon the center of which is mounted a single stone. Ring has wear, appears to have been resized, but has no internal marking visible.
