A class ring is a timeless symbol of achievement that celebrates each student’s passions, accomplishments, personal style and school pride. After they graduate, it serves as the ultimate high school keepsake.

Class rings help students hold on to their high school memories and experiences for decades, and they look great when stacked with or worn alongside other rings.

Students can wear their class ring on the finger that feels right to them. These days, there is no right answer — it’s all about leaning into their own personal style and preferences. 

However, it should be noted that class rings are traditionally worn on the right ring finger. Some school have recommendations or traditions, so be sure to check in with staff members at your school. 

When it comes to purchasing a class ring, timing varies by school and there are no set rules — it’s never too early or too late to order a class ring! However, when students order early, they have plenty of time to find the right size, customize their ring to perfection, have it custom made and wear it for the rest of their high school experience. 

Many adults choose to order a class ring when their high school years are behind them and they’re feeling nostalgic — it’s a beautiful way for them to relive memories and stay connected to their school community.

The cost of each class ring depends entirely on how it’s customized. The ring style and metal have the biggest impact on the overall price, but the center stone and/or accent stones selected may also affect the price. Many of the customization options we offer are included in the price of the ring — for example, you can have up to 30 characters engraved on the inside of the band at no additional cost.

We know that class rings are an investment, so we offer a variety of ways to pay for them. Families can pay up front with a card, Apple Pay, Cash App or PayPal or spread out the cost with a buy now, pay later option like Afterpay, PayPal Credit, PayPal Pay Later or a Jostens payment plan.
