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?

I did indeed get a Brass Rat. I rarely wear it these days, though - it weighs a ton.

I got a HS class ring, but opted not to get a college ring. I only wore my HS ring for less than a year after graduation, and I knew that a college ring would meet the same fate (a box at my parent's house). I did get a very nice Tri Sigma bracelet for graduation that I still wear for special occasions.
