The team received its Super Bowl XLIII rings during a private ceremony Tuesday night at Heinz Field. The secret design was unveiled early Tuesday evening on Steelers.com.

"You saw a bunch of grown men act like little kids, and that's really what it was. It was like Christmas: You beg your parents, you know, what you are going to get? But you never know how excited you are going to be until you open up that box," said Steelers safety Ryan Clark.

There are 63 diamonds in each ring.

"Even guys that already have one, you see them opening up their box and (they're), like, jaw dropping, kind of speechless. So, I think everybody is pretty happy with it," Steelers punter Daniel Sepulveda said.

One side of the ring is customized with a player's name and number. The other side has six Lombardi Trophies rising from Heinz Field, flanked by the final score of the game (Pittsburgh 27, Arizona 23), with the official Super Bowl XLIII logo.

"I think I am going to take it home and sit down and watch TV and have it sitting next to me throughout the whole night, and, hopefully, Kobe Bryant can go get himself one, and, hopefully, the Pens can win one, too," Super Bowl XLIII MVP Santonio Holmes said.

The NFL will be picking up the tab for the 150 rings, each costing about $5,000.

"We have to kind of put it behind us as we prepare for this upcoming season, and this is kind of the day that signifies everything as far as what we accomplished last year," Steelers quarterback Charlie Batch said.
