Thumbs up Class rings?

Do you still have your class rings? High school? College?

Do they fit? If so, do you wear them? If you don't wear them do they just sit in a drawer? Do you keep the ring(s) for sentimental reasons?

I still have my high school ring. Fits on my left hand, but I never wear it. I've kept it but don't know why. I guess I figured some day I'd give it to my granddaughter. The ring is old fashioned and rather bulky compared to newer style class rings for ladies, not even sure a teenager would want it.

The "gold for money" people are coming back to town....I may go see what it's worth....

I still have my college ring, which I no longer wear. I lost my high school ring before I graduated HS and I never replaced it.

I still have my class rings, I can't get them on my finger's anymore. They are just in my jewelry box with watches, cuff links, and other things I'll probably never wear again. I haven't worn a watch since I retired.

My high school class ring disappeared from a college dorm room decades ago. I never bought a college ring: graduated at the age of 47 after attending 3 different colleges.

I never saw the point in buying a class ring. At the end of both high school and college I was ready to leave those parts of my life behind. I knew I would never wear the rings if I bought them.

Selling class rings to the incoming freshmen would make more sense to me.

Very economical, but didn't the rings have the year you graduated on them? Ours did.

I have rings from high school, air force, college, marriage - don't wear any of them. Hey, head shrink, what's that tell you?

Ours did too. But even being vintage now, I can still remember which years those were without resorting to looking at a ring.

Do we have a shrink around here? If so he/she must have a field day with us.
