The jeweler also is sponsoring an entrance, a new trophy room, and a “Cubs Player of the Month” award.
Chicago-area jeweler C.D. Peacock has been named the official jewelry and watch partner of the Chicago Cubs and Wrigley Field, tasked with designing custom jewelry inspired by the team and its stadium.
Chicago—C.D. Peacock has been dubbed the official jewelry and watch partner of the Chicago Cubs and Wrigley Field.
The Chicago-area jeweler will design custom jewelry pieces for the team’s fans, inspired by the Cubs and their iconic stadium.
The jeweler has inked a multiyear partnership deal with the baseball team, which includes exclusive naming rights to the stadium’s premier entrance.
C.D. Peacock also will sponsor a new trophy room, which will showcase the team’s 2016 World Series Championship trophy.
Additionally, the jeweler will be the presenting sponsor of a new “Cubs Player of the Month” award. Each month, fans will vote on which Cubs player deserves the award via a social media poll, with the results announced during the game.
“We are proud of this historic partnership, unifying two Chicago institutions with deep roots to the community,” said C.D. Peacock Vice President of Marketing and Communications Chelsea Holtzman Lawrence.

C.D. Peacock was founded in 1837, making the family-owned jeweler one of the city’s oldest businesses.
“C.D. Peacock and the Chicago Cubs are intertwined by what makes Chicago iconic; family, resilience, and the pursuit of greatness. C.D. Peacock is committed to our legacy of creating milestone moments and we look forward to continuing this tradition at Wrigley Field,” said Holtzman Lawrence.
The jeweler operates three locations in Chicago: Woodfield Mall, Old Orchard Mall, and its new flagship in Oakbrook Center.
“We’re thrilled to add another historic Chicago-based and family-owned company to the Cubs family,” said Cubs President of Business Operations Crane Kenney.
“Through this partnership and the creation of the new trophy room, fans will be able to view the 2016 World Series Championship trophy from inside Wrigley Field for the first time ever. We are excited to share this viewing area, and the creation of the Cubs jewelry collection, with fans this season.”
More details about the new jewelry line and the trophy room will be shared closer to opening day, which is slated for March 30.
