Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire High school class rings

I've still got mine, '66. It barely fits on my smallest finger. My hands have grown a lot in 60 years. I have my college ring, too. It's bigger but I still can't get it on either ring finger.
My wedding ring is 22mm, size 12.5, and my right ring finger is bigger.

Girlfriends got my rings and and letterman jackets. But that's okay, they were worth it! LOL!

Never had one and the only ring I have is a wedding band worn for one day forty one years. Wife keeps in her jewelry box but never belonged on a tool makers finger. I have known to many tradesman that rings have cost them body parts.

IIRC, $38 in '67 - class of 70, yellow gold.
Stolen in an apartment break-in in late '78.
I miss the guns they stole more.

I had mine melted down and made into into a nugget ring in the 1980s. That tells you how much I missed high school.

Never saw any reason to waste $$$ on something so foolish. School was something I endured so I could get on with my life. Never bothered with class reunions either. I left those people behind me over 40 years ago.

The current price at the kids school for one is 1500 dollars, I’ve never seen the point in a class ring. I rather give him the cash towards something else he needed

Left in a girlfriend.

Mine was of something called the “six part process”, the most inexpensive process. My brother has it, he’s good at keeping old stuff.

It is somewhat scratched up, I used to run distance a lot back then and for whatever reason I was running home drunk one night early hours of the morning because running was faster than walking. Turns out running drunk was a lot like walking drunk except you fall harder.

Ya, all that high school stuff, including the tassel hanging from the rear view mirror, becomes ancient history for most people inside of a year, tops.

Mine got burgled. $38 in "71.

Bought my own, it was around $125.

I'd had it about a week before it came off my finger when I hucked a Michelob bottle at a speed limit sign late one night.
Found the bottle, it'd hit the sign but didn't break.
A cop stopped while we were lookin' around for it cause we were parked on the shoulder facing the wrong way with the brights on.

He helped us look for a bit then went on his way.
It was a hopeless search.

If you mean what I think you mean🤣

My buddy got a colonoscopy a few weeks ago. I told him I heard no cancer, but they found 3 mens class rings and a Rolex watch 😂

I got one in high school. I think it was a bit over $100 bucks. I didn't mess with one from college. I lost it somewhere along the line but I cant recall when.

Yellow gold.
Blue stone.
Gold "E" inlay on stone.
Size 12.
Think it cost the princely sum of $45 back in 1968. One of my folks graduation gifts.
It's in a box with some other unused jewelry in the gun safe.

Haven't tried in years, but it probably won't fit over my old, arthritic knuckle anyway.
Broke it twice opening beer bottles! 😖

Got one end of sophomore year, didn’t fit due to broken finger by end of football season end of junior year. A few different girlfriends had at different times. Think it’s in the old cigar box on the dresser with other crap I don’t wear

Maybe an hour?

Something like $36. An old girlfriend stole it I think.

I still have mine, ‘77. $60

I have my dad’s, ‘50. $??


I wore mine for about 5 minutes. Waste.
