Never thought about it before, and I know I only spent two or three hundred dollars on it when I graduated, but I just calculated its gold melt value (in light of the recent boom in gold price) at just a few dollars shy of $1,000.00. Add the approximately 20% of its composition being silver (14K gold being 58.65 weight percent gold, and about about 20 weight percent silver), and it's easily $1,000.00 melt.
It's sobering to think, however, that it's not really the metals that have become more valuable since I graduated college so much as the US Dollar having lost that much value since I graduated college.

1K? There's another pistol, what are you waiting for?? I took a magnifying glass to the inside and found the maker. I looked up what they were currently selling the exact same ring for, i.e., $1,500.00. Damn! Link to ad

They gave us something.....I can't remember what it was now. They used the last of our class money for it.

Oh ?, well I rarely wear either my wedding or college ring, because I'd destroy them working. And 1 job wasn't allowed any rings, due to liability insurance.... arcing from super high voltage devices.

It's sobering to think, however, that it's not really the metals that have become move valuable since I graduated college so much as the US Dollar having lost that much value since I graduated college. When You Graduated people went into a Field and earned a Living Now their up to their Ass in College Debt and have Degrees in Africa Studies, Gay and Lesbian Studies, Basketweaving and no Way to Earn a Living to fund themselves.. Keep the Ring it’s a Reminder of Achievement in what was a Good America not a Everybody Finishes First in a Dysfunctional America..
