COLLEGE RINGS : Maybe the choices available here have improved by now, but I remember theclass rings back when I was in school as being really clunky andunattractive pieces of jewelry. (Besides the fact I thought the rings forthe high school I graduated from were really ugly, I didn't get one becauseI didn't officially graduate until after I had been in college a year. Iwasn't eligible to buy the ring for the class I attended school with, and Ihad no interest in buying one for a class I knew no one in, a year after I'dleft high school. My brother and I did end up in the high school yearbookfor the year we finished, but only because the advisor and staff of theyearbook realized they had no pictures for us when they were doing thelayout, asked why, and then said they would refuse to publish a yearbook ifour pictures weren't included with that senior class. My mother got a callto rush us over to the studio of the photographer who did the schoolpictures with about 30 minutes warning, and I think that was one of myall-time worst pictures, wearing a dress I would never have picked for aphoto session, but it did make the yearbook, LOL,)--&%) SheilaTo reply to me, you must add the prefix real. to my address.
COLLEGE RINGS : But it you're a guy and your sweetie is a girl, then it's likelyyour finger is several sizes larger than hers. So she'll have to wraptons of yarn around the ring so it'll fit on her finger. Or shecan hang it from a chain around you neck. I can dig it.--Charles R. #3175 UNC-CH/Chapel Hill, NC27599-3175/3611 University Dr #13M/Durham, NC 27707/(919) 419 1754(home)/ Inmany areas of life and pool, a confident mental attitude is almost as importantfor success as luck, injustice, and cheating. -- Robert ByrnePiglet, who still wears her high school ring (so did one woman for whose children I babysat many, many years ago -- now that's a wierd feeling -- watching children for whom you babysat GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE!!!)I wore my traditional girls' highschool ring for a while, then quit - mostly because of its bulk and I got tired of the "silvertone".
COLLEGE RINGS : I still wear my college ring daily - 3 years & 3 months after graduation(nothing compared to Piglet, but WOW for me :) I got a smaller/more contemporary style that doesn't look like a school ring at first glancein real gold & rose quartz (school colors are red & gold - I wear lotsof pink). "Seattle Pacific University" around the stone, "BS" and "90"on the sides. My name is engraved inside.If I could have worked my major (CompSci) in this style I would've -but I love it as it is, and the styling is why I find it comfortableto wear while typing all day and tearing computers apart :)I wore my high school ring through college until I got my Aggie ring. I planto wear my Aggie ring from now on, as long as it fits, or until I see fit topass it on to children or relatives as an heirloom. I'm proud to have anextra token of the schools I graduated from, and feel that wearing my ringshows my pride.
COLLEGE RINGS : I really enjoy reading NASCAR fans perspective of their sport.Whenever I think NASCAR has gotten rid of the redneck image, all I haveto do is read rasn, and I come back to my senses.Last week at lunch, I overheard 2 NASCAR fans patting themselves on the back for supporting a sport with such diversity.A frosty malt beverage pouring out your nose does not feel too good.3 friends and I went to the Busch Grand National race at Texas MotorSpeedway in 1997. Between the 4 of us there were 10 college degrees (2PhD, 4 MS, 4 BS).Between the 4 fans sitting next to us, there probably were not 10 teeth.They must not search fans at the gates for contraband such as books or college rings.Chris -- The Sun Never Sets On The Western Athletic Conference!!!!!!1Ticket Taker: "Did you pack your cooler yourself, redneck? Has it beenwith you at all times since you packed it, redneck?"
COLLEGE RINGS : Anyone know if you can size a class ring up? Is it possible to stretcha ring up 2 sizes max? I have found several stretching or enlargingdevices on the internet and wondered if this is done by cutting thering or not? I have recently started to collect these rings and wouldlike to be able to size. As I am not the orginal owner the orginalwarranty will not apply. Thanks for any help. You don't want to try to stretch it yourself, all kind of nasty things canhappen. I don't mess with them and I've been donig this for a long time. Sendit to the manufacturer and pay what they ask.On Tue, 08 Jan 2002 03:34:38 GMT, in rec.crafts.jewelry (jethrobodine00) wrote:Very few knowlegeable jewelers (those who've made the mistake of trying thesebefore) will bother with class rings. It's not that their lazy. Here's a morecomplete discussion of sizing class rings...
