The Champions of Super Bowl LVIII: Kansas City Chiefs
Tiffany & Co. extends heartfelt congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs for their remarkable win at Super Bowl LVIII, where they secured the esteemed Vince Lombardi Trophy.

A Legacy of Excellence: The Vince Lombardi Trophy
The Vince Lombardi Trophy, first created by Tiffany & Co. for the first Super Bowl in 1967, stands as a symbol of supreme achievement in American football. Renamed in 1970 in honor of the legendary Green Bay Packers coach, Vince Lombardi, this trophy reflects his early triumphs in the game’s history. Initially conceived by Oscar Riedener, a former Vice President at Tiffany & Co., the trophy’s design was sketched on a napkin during a meeting with NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle in 1966. It features a regulation-size football ready for a kick.

The Craftsmanship Behind the Trophy
Tiffany & Co. assigns the crafting of this iconic trophy to their most skilled craftsmen. Over four months, these artisans invest about 72 hours of work, employing both traditional methods and modern techniques like spinning, silversmithing, chasing, hand engraving, and polishing. This process results in a seven-pound, 22-inch trophy made of sterling silver, which is one of over 100 trophies crafted annually at Tiffany’s hollowware workshop in Cumberland, Rhode Island.
