Herff Jones makes a cool Gator-style class ring but it's like $575. I really don't want my girlfriend to spend that much. I wanted golf clubs.. but she wanted to get me something that would last a little longer.

So anyway.. I wanna get like a 10k gold class ring that has a neato University of Florida style. Aren't there any websites or something where I can get a good customized one for less than my local Herff Jones representative?

EDIT: OMG.. This is like the time I posted a pic of my friend asking for advice about something and you guys all just said she was ugly.. except in a meaner way. /frustrated

Where should I buy a class ring? That's all I want answered.

How about you get your balls out of her purse first. It sounds like they got "ripped off"

It's not her decision - if she wants one, fine, but if you don't want one, don't get one :p

Why don't you talk to a local jeweler? That's going to be your best bet.

Take your money that you'd be spending. Bury it in a mason jar in a field somewhere. 10 years from now, go unearth it, and be like "Hey, glad I didn't waste this money!!"

It might sound cheesy...but Wal-Mart appears to have a nice selection - and MUCH cheaper than the school ring companies.

It won't be worth much.

Rhetorical.

Realistically, don't blow that much money on a class ring, you WILL NOT wear it.

Save that money FTW.

I don't know anyone that actually buys a college class ring. High school class ring, sure. But never a college class ring. That's just nerdy.

Buying a HS class ring is less nerdy than buying a College class ring? :Q

DoYOU want a class ring? If the answer is "I don't care" or "I don't know" or "I don't" - Then don't get one.

QFT. I know where your coming from. ;)


Also, don't get one. Later, you two will get each other promise/wedding rings and you'll never wear it anyway. It's retarded for a guy to wear more than one ring. I got mine last year and it was in the drawer 2 months after graduation.

It'll be 10 years at least before I'm married.. I've been beating it into myself my entire life that I will be what I consider to be 'financially secured' before I get married.

Still looking for a single suggestion other than Walmart :p

Take it from me, it's much nicer if they never go blue while they're still connected to your body. I learned that lesson, and you will too
