Corum 2008 World Series of Poker Bracelets

Corum’s president, Michael Wunderman unveiled the World Series of Poker bracelets, part of the grand prize for the winner of the event, which started on May 30th this year. The month long tournament has been around since 1970 and has garnered much more attention during its more recent years. This year, the final nine players will play the final rounds November 9 and 10th, instead of July 16th, allowing it to be broadcast on ESPN sooner after the real showdown.

The main event bracelet is even more substantial than ever, with 291 diamonds, totaling 2.81 carats, micro-paved in white gold for a total of 168 grams of gold. "These are the most beautiful bracelets in the history of the WSOP," said World Series of Poker Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack. "Corum's exquisite sense of design and style have enhanced the world's most important poker event once again." Each of the 55 event winners will win a bracelet, with the 54 runners up receiving smaller versions of the bracelet, which features hand enameling of the tournament’s logo. Los Angeles-based jeweler Uneek assisted Corum in the production of the bracelets, hand finishing and polishing the final assembly and diamond settings for the highest quality in craftsmanship.
