Milan combines Italian jewelry craft with an American sporting custom
This year’s Milano Premier Padel P1 champions will receive more than the customary trophy. Borrowing a hallmark of top-level North American sport, tournament organizers will also present the winners with tailor-made championship rings set with diamonds, rubies, and emeralds, echoing the title celebrations of the NBA and NFL.
The rings, produced by goldsmithing company Lagati Padel Jewels, turn a celebrated sporting memento into a tribute to Milan. A total of 48 diamonds trace the profile of the city’s Cathedral (Duomo), while emeralds and rubies join the white diamonds to evoke Italy’s green, white, and red flag. Designed around the needs of padel players, each band also contains an adjustment system shaped like a padel racket.
Goldsmithing heritage joins a fresh tournament concept
Jewelry house owner Angela Lagati emphasized how the project connects high-level competition with skilled craftsmanship: “In major international sports, the Championship Ring is a very powerful symbol of victory, and we have reinterpreted it through the lens of Italian goldsmithing. These rings represent Milan, Italy, the tournament, and its history.”
She also explained why the partnership carried personal and historical significance: “It is much more than a sponsorship collaboration: it is the opportunity to bring 35 years of experience in goldsmithing to a sport we love and demonstrate that a jewel can be part of the history of a sporting event.”
As one of the Premier Padel circuit’s 9 P1 tournaments, the Milan stop has already experimented with new digital experiences for spectators. These have included dedicated mobile engagement platforms and interactive tools allowing fans to select seats through a 360-degree virtual view. The championship rings now bring a further innovation to the event.
