In a celebration of the extraordinary achievements of 18-year-old Gukesh Dommaraju, who became the youngest World Chess Champion, renowned jewellery brand BlueStone has honoured the young prodigy with a bespoke chess-themed ring.
The ring, engraved with the words "World Champion," is a testament to Gukesh's dedication and perseverance. At its centre is a unique design featuring a pawn—symbolising the journey from humble beginnings to greatness. Traditionally, the king is a symbol of authority in chess, but the pawn’s potential to transform into the most powerful piece mirrors Gukesh’s rise in the world of chess.
BlueStone, avid supporters of the game, were deeply inspired by Gukesh's historic victory and the hard work behind it. This admiration led them to meet Gukesh and his family in person, where they presented his parents with elegant ‘Him and Her’ jewellery sets, engraved with their names within the King and Queen pieces. This thoughtful gesture paid tribute to the family's vital role in nurturing Gukesh’s talent and supporting his success.
BlueStone’s exclusive Checkmate Collection, which draws inspiration from the game of chess, served as the perfect platform for the tribute. Crafted in gold with black onyx and diamond accents, the collection reflects the strategic depth, precision, and elegance of the game, making it a fitting homage to Gukesh’s historic win.
A spokesperson for BlueStone shared, “Gukesh’s remarkable victory is of the mastery and determination that come from relentless hard work, and it’s a moment of immense pride for the country. Each piece in the Checkmate collection is a portrayal of the game, and it’s an honour to celebrate his achievement with a ring that encapsulates the spirit of his journey to victory and the finesse of the game of chess.”
