Irvine, Calif.—Corum has unveiled its 2008 World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets, the most coveted poker trophies in the world, which now feature a design that's both bigger and bolder than any previous bracelet in the history of the sport, the company said in a media release.

The "Main Event" bracelet, the biggest trophy of all, features a total of 291 diamonds weighing 2.81 carats. The diamonds are meticulously micropavéd on the white gold face of the bracelet, which weighs a total of 168 grams of gold.

"These are the most beautiful bracelets in the history of the WSOP," WSOP Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack said in the release. "Corum's exquisite sense of design and style have enhanced the world's most important poker event once again."

In 2008, there are a total of 55 events on the series schedule, and at each event, the winner will be awarded a Corum bracelet. While the Main Event bracelet is the largest, the remaining 54 bracelets feature the same design at a smaller scale. There are 55 micropavéd diamonds weighing a total of 0.25 carats and set in 80 grams of yellow gold.

Corum crafted the bracelets in collaboration with Los Angeles-based fine jeweler Uneek. The final assembly and diamond setting is hand-finished and hand-polished to ensure quality, the company said.
