Class Rings

How many of you got one? I just ordered mine and I'm very happy with it.

For me, JWU wasn't abut being Greek. so I had them engrave it on the inside with SDT instead of putting the letters on the outside.

I got one, but it was several years after I graduated as the ones they offered my graduation year were megafug.

It's black onyx w/ ASA embossed on it and my degree along the sides.

I didn't like the ones they offered my year either but I'm thinking about getting one now that I'm out. Not a big clunky thing with a huge stone like I did for HS though! UGH!

Megafug, can I steal that?

I got a class ring from high school. I didn't want one from college.

Ditto. My HS ring is just sitting at my parents' house in a shadowbox with my graduation invite, senior pics, homecoming & prom corsage, etc that my mom made for me.

My brother tried to freak me out with my hs ring, and put it down the garbage disposal. Yes, he is much older than I, and should have known better, but I do have the remains.

I opted not to get a college ring, but was given a beautiful sorority ring instead.

My black onyx crest ring is what I received instead of a college ring.

I got my hs ring and I got my college ring from Texas A&M. I looooove my Aggie ring as most Aggies do. I still wear it proudly 16 years later as I did the day I got it. And, being that we are Aggies there is a whole (unofficial) ceremony that you do when you get your ring. The Aggie ring means so much in Texas. It's done everything for me from getting good deals when buying stuff to getting me out of tickets...hee..hee...hee....

I loved my high school ring -- gold with black onyx -- the school has had the same ring for over 100 years. Sadly, I lost my ring about 15 years ago. I did not get a college ring.

Those are beautiful!! I think that's what they were trying to do w/ the college rings the year I graduated, with not good results.

Those are pretty. I never got a HS one we weren't given the opinion which is why I wanted one. While there are the JWU "signature" ones we can order anything we want from Balfour, and then make a ton of different choices.

The one I got is like this but in yellow gold with a bright blue stone and nothing on the stone.

Ok, I'm thinking on the right it says "15" as in Class of 2015, but what the heck is on the other side?

Probably - I looked up that style on their site and it said that you could put your degree on your ring - but why would you want your resume on jewlery?
