Days after switching from 21 to 15, Elliott came up with a special way to pay homage to both his jersey numbers with a reversible chain. While Elliot might have moved on with the New England Patriots, he still paid respect to the Cowboys wherein he played for seven seasons. The chain is reversible in design and shows both the number ’15’ and ’21’ when flipped, hence, showcasing both his present and past jersey numbers.

As reported by TMZ, while the exact amount Elliot splurged on the newly made reversible chain is not known, it might have burned a $260,000 deep hole in the RB’s pocket. As it turns out, the stunning piece of jewelry consists of 70 carats of emerald and round cut diamonds.
Spending just over quarter of a million dollars on a chain sounds insane but then again, NFL players are known to spill the cash on designer goods. The pendant has been designed by celebrity diamond setter Gabriel French and the kind of attention it has got Zeke confirms that we will see more NFL icons spending heavily on such goods in the time to come.
