How to Buy a Class Ring

Tips on buying a class ring

1. Look at the state of your finances and try to come to an understanding about how much money you can spend on your class ring. Many schools offer discounts on purchases of class rings-look into whether or not your school does.
2. Most schools have specific types of rings set aside for those about to graduate. You will need to make a decision as to whether or not you like the metal choice and finish, the color and cut of stone set in the ring and the design on the palm side of the ring.
3. If you don't like the choices available to you, look into designing your own class ring. While this is a somewhat unconventional route to go with class rings, it has gained popularity as of late. With designing your own class ring, you get to decide on the metal, stone and overall design of the ring.
4. You are always given the choice of personalizing your class ring through engraving. Think about what you would like engraved in your ring. Most go with their name, but don't feel limited by that!
5. Many people think class rings are strictly for people graduating from high school, college, and graduate school. Not true! Those graduating from police, fire and EMS training, the armed forces and championship sports teams can now have class rings as well.
6. Be aware of the fact that many of the leading class ring companies-Jostens, for instance-offer you the chance to purchase your class ring many years after you've actually graduated. So if you never got one when exiting the twelfth grade and find yourself hungry for one 20 years later, have no fear!

Caution

You must be fitted for a class ring. Do not attempt to guesstimate the size of the ring that will fit your finger best!
