Like the iconic rings from American sports leagues, the tennis tournament BNP Paribas Nordic Open, in collaboration with Swedish jewelry designer Cornelia Webb, has developed its first official championship ring. A piece of jewelry that will be awarded to the winner of the tournament in October. A limited version will also be available for sale during the competition week at the Royal Tennis Hall.
The ring’s shape draws from the distinctive lines of a tennis ball, reimagined as an elegant design with an open detail that adds visual lightness while allowing for size adjustment, form and function in one. Its material, Swedish rock porphyry from Älvdalen, connects to the tournament’s heritage as the same stone used in the classic trophy designed by Carl XVI Gustaf. Often called “Sweden’s diamond,” porphyry symbolizes Swedish nature, tradition, and strength. Every detail is considered: instead of hiding the stamps inside, Webb highlights them as a visible, integral part of the design, Stockholm city stamp, C12 year stamp 2025, Pt950 material mark, and CW for Cornelia Webb, underscoring both authenticity and the artisanal character of tennis.
I wanted to create a piece of jewelry that not only represents victory, but also the sport. It will be a wearable version of the trophy, which will have a natural place in everyday life. Tennis is about elegance, discipline and movement and I wanted the ring to reflect that, says Cornelia Webb, jewelry designer.
Sales begin during the first day of the tournament at the Royal Tennis Hall and then at corneliawebb.com
