[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to a Midwestern public HS and we all got them. They were stupidly expensive and ugly (like Super Bowl rings) but anyone who was a varsity athlete, theater, orchestra or band kid got them sophomore year. We spent weeks obsessing over the special panels on the sides of the rings. It was a big thing and I wore it daily for 3 years. I’ve spent way more per wear on fine jewelry.

Once I got to my fancy college and saw the very understated signet-style class rings my private school classmates wore, I immediately hid my HS ring and never wore it again.[/quote]

I have not seen any of my daughters' friends with class rings (DMV area). When I was in high school in the 90s, in a small rural town, the class rings were a huge deal. Your boyfriend would give you his class ring, and we would wrap string around the back so that they would fit on our fingers or wear it on a necklace. Ugh. So glad my daughters don't feel the need to wear a boy's ring to gain status in high school! [/quote]
