Saluting Your Service With Military Jewelry

For years, Jostens has been creating one-of-a-kind jewelry and keepsakes for the US military and academies. With a rich history working side-by-side with our service men and women, we understand the sacrifices and commitment you make each day. We’re proud to create pieces for you that will last forever — just like our gratitude for your service.

Jostens Supports VFW Foundation

Jostens sponsored the VFW Foundation’s “Return the Favor” campaign, which honors, celebrates and supports active-duty military, veterans and their families. We’ve also supported VFW Foundation events including the Salute To Military Families weekend at Michigan International Speedway, and look forward to continuous contributions to the organization.

Jostens Receives Army-Navy "E" Award

During World War II, Jostens produced precision parts for the US Army Air Corps. Our quality workmanship twice earned us the Army-Navy “E” award for excellence. Jostens is the only jewelry manufacturer in the world to receive this honor. And it’s a foundation we continue to build upon to establish ourselves not as a vendor, but as a partner to the United States Military.

Jostens offers a variety of metal choices including white and yellow gold, Silver Elite®, Solaris Elite®, Lustrium® and Questra.

Gold

Jostens offers gold in 2 colors and 3 karat qualities:

Yellow Gold: Because of its durability and lasting value over time, gold is a wise investment. Gold has been the standard for jewelry for over 4000 years.

White Gold: Has the same lasting qualities and value as yellow gold, but different metal.

Metal Purities:

18K: 75% pure gold, 25% metal allow

14K: 58.5% pure gold, 41.5% metal allow

10K: 41.7% pure gold, 58.3% metal allow

Solaris Elite®

This radiant yellow 6K metal alloy is beautiful and affordable. We've combined durability and affordability to create our exclusive yellow 6K alloy.

Silver Elite®

A precious metal alloy primarily composed of silver with elements of palladium and gold, coated with a rhodium plating.

Rhodium Plating - A member of the Platinum metals group. Rhodium is a silvery, metallic colored precious metal. It is an extremely hard material and is highly resistant to corrosion and it is used extensively in the fine jewelry industry. Rhodium provides protection for Silver Elite®, coating it to help prevent tarnish and scratches. It is very durable and prevents skin oil from dulling the ring. Rhodium is most commonly plated on white gold and sterling silver jewelry.

Lustrium®

A non-precious metal alloy that is silver in color. It is a hard metal and fairly durable, but does not have the same value and characteristics as gold. Lustrium® will react to oxygen and thus may require additional care and cleaning.

Questra

Same characteristics as Lustrium®, but yellow in color because of coating with 23 karat yellow gold.

*Nickel is included in the following metal mixes: Lustrium®, Yellow Lustrium®, and all white gold.

You can further personalize your ring by having either your initials or full name added to the inside of your ring.

Jostens reserves the right to refuse any and all orders containing offensive or inappropriate language as determined by Jostens.
