The ring is here!

Not sure if any of you are familiar with the tradition of the Brass Rat, but it's the MIT class ring, each year has a different design. Standard features are the beaver (school mascot) sitting on 8 ivy leaves (guess that what represents) on the bezel with the school seal on one side and the class year and dome on the other side.

Overall I'm pretty happy with it got it in 18k gold

Not bad. Not bad at all, I wouldn't have gone with the black paint, but I like it.

those pictures files are too small, could you get some that are at least 25 MB ? thanks

 

[Chronoshock]

Not black paint, its a medium finish but the lighting makes it look dark

Here's another pic of the ring under direct light, as you can see the finish isn't too dark

Like Mohammad Ali said - "It ain't bragging if it's true."

I'd probably brag if I was graduating from MIT.

But this thread is hardly bragging. It's just pics of a class ring. MIT rings are very distinctive. It's cool to see the different designs.

Made me chuckle....

Ohhh you think you're so good eh? My turn to brag now

For the sake of non-repitition up the wahzoo, I'll try and highlight some of the things Chrono didn't cover. My pics are resized, so don't complain!
For reference, my ring is white gold as opposed to his yellow gold, and my bezel is "extra small" instead of his "medium".

Walnut ring box, 50% off with purchase of gold ring! Wheeee!

Ring in the box (fine, this one's just to show off my bezel lol)

We get our names engraved on the inside
(it's scary how my camera captures these invisible to the eye scratches on my ring and makes it look like a huge gash in the picture)

Boston skyline
We have a different skyline on each side of the ring. (Those of you familiar with Boston might appreciate the details here) We wear it with the Boston skyline facing us until we graduate...

MIT skyline
Then we flip the ring to have this side facing us, because we're now looking back at MIT from the outside.

"Hacker's Map"
A campus map of MIT underneath the bezel. Hard to get a clear picture of.

One last proud display

Hey, I spent near $300 on this thing, I have every right to show it off

wow. that is possibly the ugliest ring i have ever seen.
