Move over, Tiffany & Co.! Caitlin Clark, the WNBA’s rising superstar, just received a gift so dazzling that it might as well come with its own spotlight. The giver? None other than Erica Wheeler, the Indiana Fever guard who clearly knows how to win both on and off the court. Wheeler’s latest assist? A jaw-dropping diamond chain that’s got Clark shining brighter than the scoreboard.
From Admiration to Bling-ification
It all started innocently enough. Wheeler, who’s been strutting her stuff in the WNBA since 2023 with the Indiana Fever, casually flaunted her own iced-out chain on social media. This wasn’t just any chain, though—this was a glittering piece of art that screamed, “I’m here, I’m fabulous, and yes, I sparkle.” Naturally, Clark, being a rookie with impeccable taste, couldn’t help but admire the bling and dropped a casual hint that she wouldn’t mind something similar.
Erica Wheeler, being the teammate of the year (and possibly of the century), took that hint and sprinted with it faster than she does on a fast break. She hit up her jeweler at the GLD Shop—a place that probably has more diamonds than a deck of cards—and commissioned a custom piece just for Clark. Because, why not? When you’ve got a teammate like Clark lighting up the court, you make sure she’s dripping in diamonds too.
1,000 Diamonds Later…
Fast forward to Friday, and the big reveal happened. The GLD Shop pulled back the velvet curtain on Clark’s new bling: a pendant showcasing her No. 22, decked out with 1,000 VVS diamonds that could probably be seen from space. Clark, who’s usually known for her game face, was all smiles as she tried on her new chain, looking like she just won the lottery—and in a way, she did.
Clark’s Stats Are as Sparkling as Her Jewelry
Clark’s diamond-drenched moment wasn’t just about looking good; it was a well-deserved treat for a player who’s been making waves all season. At 22 years old, Clark isn’t just another rookie—she’s the rookie who’s been single-handedly pulling the Indiana Fever up the standings with her 17.8 points per game. Oh, and did we mention her assist game? She’s been dishing out 8.3 assists per game like she’s Santa Claus handing out presents on Christmas Eve.
In fact, Clark set a WNBA record for the most assists in a single game, with a jaw-dropping 19 dimes against the Dallas Wings on July 17th. That’s right—19 assists. She practically turned that game into a personal clinic on how to share the basketball, leaving the Wings wondering if they were playing against one player or five.
Rookie of the Year? More Like Bling Queen of the Year
As the season continues, there’s more buzz about Clark than a beehive in springtime. Not only is she a strong contender for Rookie of the Year, but she’s also proving that her future in the league is as bright as the diamonds around her neck. And with Wheeler in her corner, who knows? Maybe next season, she’ll be sporting a championship ring to match that chain.
In the meantime, Clark will keep doing what she does best: dominating the court, setting records, and looking fabulous while doing it. Because when you’re Caitlin Clark, every day is a reason to shine—literally.
