| Do you wear yours? What metal is yours made out of? What is the highest level of education you have received / degree? What university did you attend? |

High school ring was a waste of money. It is now relegated to an extremely infrequent costume use.
Didn't even bother with a college ring. To answer your questions: I don't wear it. It's made of some durable silver lookalike with a synthetic green stone. BSME OPSEC |

Only douche bags wear class rings. See above? I learned that here at Arfcom. BTW, never bought a class ring. I don't wear jewelry and don't like wasting what little money I have on them. Even when I was young, the electric bill, phone bill and other bills came first. As for education, doctorate and I recently earned an AS  .

I'm not a ring person, never have been. Don't even wear my wedding band. I can barely stand wearing a writstwatch.
Way back in high school (late 80s) I didn't want a class ring, I thought they were the epitome of douche. My dad said I had to have one and bought it for me. I never wore it, never even took it out of the box. I think he had it as I never saw it again past high school graduation. |
I thought that was pretty cool

I got a 14k class ring in high school. Only use was to let my girlfriend wear it. After she graduated high school herself it went into a drawer and was never worn again.
I've got bachelor and master degrees from different universities but never bothered with a class ring from either one. Seemed like a waste of money. Only adult I've ever known that wore a college ring was a pompous asshole assistant superintendent I worked with for a while. He had serious authority issues and went out of his way to make himself feel superior to others. He was a big blowhard and his ring was a part of his costume. The only ring other than an wedding band that doesn't seem garish on a man is a masonic ring. No idea why but for some reason that seems appropriate. |

West Point was the originator of class rings. I would give some leeway to academy grads wearing theirs just due to the depth of the tradition. The only ring I wear is my wedding ring. Quoted:

The only ring I wear is my wedding ring. "depth of the tradition." and "See... I am better than you and I don't even have to open my mouth to tell you that I am" |

Used to wear it all the time & received more compliments on it than I thought I would. Now I've gotten into the habit of just wearing watch/rings when I dress up.
Gold. 12 or 14 carat I think. Got it when I finished my masters & thought that was the last degree I'd get. Smaller private school. |

Besides my wedding band I'll occasionally wear a pinky ring if it goes with the chain I'm wearing |

Whenever I see someone wearing a class ring, 99% of the time they went to Texas A&M.
How do you know someone went to A&M? Don't worry, they'll tell you.
I didn't go to college. For some reason, my mother really wanted me to get a high school ring, I didn't want one. Got one to make her happy. God knows where it is. I do know is wasn't made out of any precious metal. |

Only douche bags wear class rings. It's made out of metal. I think. Highschool with some college. The school of MYOFB. The only ring I wore was a wedding band but took it off several months ago due to eczema on my hands; it's really bad on my left hand. I can no longer wear rings. |
