[quote=Anonymous][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]

LOL. This is hilarious. Thank you for sharing!!![/quote]

My PA public high school was into big customized rings in the '80s.  I (female) got one from one of the big brand companies.  I liked it a lot even though it wasn't dainty (Superbowl style).  The enameled lettering on the school crest wore off within a year and when I sent it in under the lifetime warranty, the company did a crude fix rather than a 100% restore.  So basically they lost my future business at that point.  My husband got one of the tasteful signet rings with just an initial even though he went to a small rural high school.  For a while in my early 20s, I had it and occasionally wore it as a going steady ring. I kinda enjoyed the 50's nostalgia vibe but quickly concluded school rings of any type were outdated.  Now they are stashed with other unworn gold jewelry in our safe deposit box.  Our kids don't seem to have any interest in getting their own.[/quote]
