The “too small” chain Ronald Acuña Jr. wore before the All-Star Game was anything but… and TMZ Sports has found the showy piece is worth a whopping $145k in diamonds!!
Prior to his fourth ASG appearance on Tuesday, the Atlanta Braves outfielder turned attention in an all-pink ‘fit with an iced-out small version of himself executing his iconic celebration around his neck.
Gabriel the Jeweler, go-to guy for some of sports’ greatest personalities, tells us the piece is made of 80 carats altogether… and the one-of-a-kind accessory was fashioned in partnership with Acua’s agency, Xample Brand.
Xample is said to treat Acua to a new necklace for each ASG appearance… with each one documenting a new aspect of Ronald’s game.
Of course, Acua is known to make the “too small” gesture after hitting a home run, so this year’s jewelry was a no-brainer.
The necklace is Gucci-style, with dazzling diamonds and baguettes… and we’re informed Ronald’s family was also given miniature replicas of the set.
“I am blessed to have been selected to play in this year’s All-Star Game, and I want to thank everyone who has supported me on this journey and believed in me,” Acua Jr. says.
In terms of the chain, he added… “I always say, ‘I just want to play.'” And, well, that’s me at work.”
