Why is Rihanna's custom Super Bowl ring so special? Iconic singer celebrates her heritage

Everything about Rihanna's Super Bowl performance was just as spectacular as one would expect it to be. The singer headlined the halftime show while pregnant, becoming the first woman to do so. As fans celebrated her return to the stage, Rihanna celebrated herself and her heritage.

In a way to honor her performance, Rihanna's jeweler Briony Raymond made a custom ring for Rihanna. Beyond the five-carat diamonds, the ring features the monogram 'RFR' for Robyn Rihanna Fenty. The diamonds have been hand-rendered in platinum with immaculate black enamel details.

The special touch, however, are the Barbados coordinates.

Raymond spoke to Page Six about the ring and how it's a unique way to celebrate where she comes from.

“[Rihanna] made the ultimate power play finishing the night wearing the style of ring traditionally reserved for Super Bowl titleholders,” Briony Raymond told Page Six. “In wearing the ring, she celebrates her own victory and her heritage.”

Always bold with her statements, Rihanna's red outfit also highlighted her baby bump.

Rihanna herself described her fashion style as 'rebellious':

"When I saw women dress during their pregnancy [in the past], I’d think that that was the only way. So I challenged myself to push it further and really just have fun with [maternity style]," Rihanna said.
