The Colts spent just what the league will pay for the rings, $5000. Robert Kraft paid the difference ( amount over $5K) for the Patriots rings and gave the same ring to every member of the organization. Irsay gave the tier one rings to the players and lesser rings ( tier 2 and tier 3- which he called class rings) to other members of the organization. FYI... Then again, it is the Irsays.....

Colts rings cost $5,000 and less for scaled down versions given to other organization members.....
>>>>>The team did not release a list of ring recipients, but all 53 players who were on the active roster for the Super Bowl, along with the
eight-man practice squad and players on the injured reserve list, received the deluxe, "first-tier" ring.
It's priced at approximately $5,000, the maximum allowed by the NFL for Super Bowl rings. Top executives and
other team officials also received that ring.
Some employees were given a second-tier ring, a scaled-down version of the original priced between $1,500
and $2,000, while others received a third-tier ring that, according to Irsay, "is more like a class ring."

Pats rings were valued at $15,000+
>>>>Each 14-karat white gold ring has 124 diamonds with a carat total of 4.94, but the team did not disclose the rings' value. Each one weighs a quarter ounce more than
last year's rings, which the club said were worth more than $15,000 each.
