My high school class ring fell down the garbage disposal, and as I was reaching my hand in to get it out, my brother (who claims he was teasing me) turned it on! :eek:

What's left of it is in my jewelry box, and is the reason I didn't bother with a college one.

I wear my H.S. ring on some occassions - Msgr. Scanlan ('93)

I never got a high school one. I knew I probably would never wear it. I might get my college one when I graduate because I like the way it looks.

I had a high school one, that I didn't wear after i graduated. So it was tucked away in my jewelry box until those cheal *ss burglars carted off all my good jewelry - including the high school class ring (not tomention family heirlooms).

So some person in the area is wearing my ring or they melted it down for the gold....:mad:

I have absolutely no idea where mine is - I think I stopped wearing it halfway through freshman year of college.

I haven't worn mine since high school, but I love it. It's white gold with a white stone. It has my name and swimming on one side, and 2002 and the fine arts on the other.

I had 2 HS rings....

the first was small square design in white gold, with a blue stone and our mascot.....it got stolen right under my nose during dance practice. - bought by mom...never told her it was stolen

2nd ring same exact design except in yellow gold, I hated the white gold, b/c it looked funny to me, besides our colors are blue and gold, so it look "normal".... bought by my father,

I wore it everyday for over 10 years...never took it off, until it just got too tight on my finger, I wore it on my middle finger, it looked better than my ring finger, I put it one of my jewelry boxes and lost it.

I've been thinking lately about getting a new one.

My mother has my HS class ring and I haven't worn it since I was in HS. She put it in this display along with my latter jacket, my medals and my other patches and all that other HS stuff.

I stopped wearing mine the day I graduated from high school. I really wish I hadn't gotten one because it was such a waste of money.

I have it somewhere in a jewelry box at my parents' house.

I think my husband has mine somewhere. I only wore mine for a few months before we exchanged them. My college ring, though, I wear daily. I love it. It doesn't have a stone, it's just white gold with an E and an oak leaf on the front.

I stopped wearing mine about three years after I graduated. I have a University ring that I love, but I don't wear much anymore, mainly because I tend to only wear rings on my left hand. These days I only wear my engagement ring and wedding band.

My high school class ring is sitting in my jewelry box. I haven't worn it since my sophomore year in college.

KSUViolet06 10-13-2005 02:51 PM

I didn't bother with an HS class ring. Most of my class didn't. They cost alot, and I knew I wouldn't wear it after high school.

I do, however, plan on getting a college ring.

I got mine freshman year of high school and LOVED it.

14k gold, Pirate on one side and tennis with my name above it on the other, and my initials on either side, with a Pirate ship on the garnet stone. I loved that ring. I lost it once, found it. Now, just like every sentimental piece of jewelry in my room, it has gone missing. I'm sure it'll pop up one day in the same exact place I've been looking all these years, just like the other jewelry. It was $200some at that time in 1995. I wore it every day in high school, and sometimes after graduation. (I was the first in my class to get my varsity jacket freshman year, and I wore that all the time too. I dreaded having to put it away for the season)

My college ring I'm in looooove with too. Traditional style Michigan ring with the blue stone and gold Phi Mu letters on the stone. One side has my degree, Communications and B.A. The other side says Wolverines and has this really ugly wolverine. Around the stone on the gold part it says University of Michigan. That one was $600. My high school ring was far nicer, but I guess in 10 years prices shot up?

You know, I think getting it your freshman/sohpomore year is a good idea. :) You get more "wear" for your buck plus what better way to foster school spirit while you're there!
