LOS ANGELES -- Jason Arasheben, a.k.a. Jason of Beverly Hills, waited 10 years for a chance to design another Los Angeles Lakers championship ring. And then when the jeweler got his opportunity, Arasheben had to turn the ring around in just four weeks, rather than the customary three to four months he would get during a normal NBA offseason.
"I'm used to these last-minute orders because I also service over 200 guys in the league as personal clients, including a bunch on the team," Arasheben told ESPN this week. "So I'm used to this, 'Hey Jason, it's two days from Christmas but I need you to make this custom piece for me for my wife.
