I purchased this ring from a reputable dealer off ebay years ago. Below is information I received from the previous owner.
To the best of my knowledge I believe it to be an authentic staff member ring.
This is a 2005 SACRAMENTO MONARCHS Staff Member WNBA CHAMPIONSHIP RING shown.
The Maloof organization, the owners of the now disbanded WNBA Sacramento Monarchs awarded Championship rings to select Sacramento Monarchs Staff. The selected staff were given rings by owners Gavin and Joe Maloof. The ring is sterling silver with small synthetic diamonds. Each ring has the recipients initials or name imprinted on one side. The ring is very similar to the actual gold and diamond rings given to players.
