High school class ring
Do you still wear yours? I wear mine pretty much every day.
I went to a Catholic high school, and everyone has the same design (tradition - same design since before class rings [it was on a pendant]), except for different initials, graduating year, and whether it is yellow or white gold. When I'm in my hometown (Memphis), strangers occasionally recognize it. PS - My ring now complements my sorority pin well. ;) The center has a black triangle with the school's initials in Greek, and the triangle is surrounded by pearls. |
I wear my hs class ring every single day!!
It's one of the squarish ones (but it's small and delicate looking) with a rose zircon stone (my birthstone) and it's two-tone-- the ring itself is white gold and then the stone is bordered by yellow gold. Maybe I'll take a picture of it later if I'm not too lazy:D |
I didn't wear mine too often, and I knew I wouldn't. Mine is white-gold plated with a filigree design with a blue stone, with my grad year on one side. It has since done nothing but sit in my jewlery box ever since I graduated.
(Edited because my grammar was horrible.) |
Never got a class ring, for either high school or college. About 50% of my high school class got rings, but I didn't think I'd wear it much once I got to college.
What I almost got was a letterman jacket; however, it would have cost quite a bit for the jacket, and I didn't think I'd wear it in college. I was correct. |
I really liked my high school ring...it was small, and really cute. Unfortunately I left it in my long-distance ex's dorm room while we were dating and somehow the idiot lost it...he never would explain to me what happened to it. I think it was stolen along with his wallet one time.

My ex from high school still has my ring...and I have his somewhere...

I don't really ever wear mine - it has always been a little bit too big and I just don't wear a lot of jewelry. Not surprisingly, I didn't buy a college ring.
|
I don't even know where my HS class ring is...?
|
I bought mine in Grade 9 when they were still selling the older, bigger model. I never wear it because my hands are so tiny that it overwhelms it! Most of my friends got their rings in Grade 12 or 13 (yeah, we used to have a fifth year of high school in Ontario) when the school changed companies that made smaller ones.

I stopped wearing my high school ring when I went to college. Haven't worn it once since then, but it is still packed away somewhere safe and sound.
The Aggie Ring is a HUGE deal at A&M, and getting mine was a big accomplishment. I still wear that one every single day. :) |
I wore mine every single day until I got engaged, reason being that the ring I wore on my left ring finger now occupies my right ring finger, which is where I wore my high school ring.
Mr. AXiD670's hs girlfriend of six years still has his ring. He attempted to get it back from her about a year ago or so, now that she's married. She was rather uncooperative and he was not successful. |
I still have my high school class ring. In those days all Columbus Public high schools had the same ring, with only the letter representing the school being different.
I wore it until the future Mrs. DA bought an Ohio University class ring for me, which I still wear every day. I've thought about having DTD letters added to the stone, but never got around to it. It looks pretty much like the top one below, although in 18k gold. One one side it has my graduation year and the a replica of the bell tower on Cutler Hall at O.U. and on the other side, my degree, BSC, the Great Seal of The State of Ohio and a Bobcat head. Around the stone, it says Ohio University 1804 which is our founding year. http://www.artcarved.com/portalimage...moring_img.jpg The stone is green for the College of Communication. |
Until I got my college ring (which wasn't till a few years after graduation because the ones they had the year I graduated were fugly) I still wore my HS ring every day. Not so much from love of high school, but because it's a pretty ring.
The only thing I don't like is it has a rainbow effect under it and so I had to take it off every time I washed my hands - another girl had the same thing on hers and left it on and her stone turned brown. |
I loved my hs class ring, but lost it one day when I was helping an ex dig his back tires out of the mud( we had gone mudding, and he had gotten stuck, and it was after my curfew, and I was a bit drunk, and it sounded like a good idea at the time)-and at some point in the night I lost it.
I never got a college ring either. |
