I had a class ring from High School but it was stolen from me when I was 21 years old. I missed it but those days are over. About ten years ago I got a ring that said I was a good semi-truck driver. That one I cherish but that was one of my dreams to drive a semi.

I never got a high school ring, or a college ring.   I don't really get what is the point of it is.  They are not even cute.

Never got one, didn't want one, didn't miss it.  Most people I knew was not wearing it 6 months after graduation.  Didn't get one for college neither.  I always felt there were better things to do with the money.  In my case, I got a round trip ticket to California to visit my sister for a month.  For me, much better and more memorable.

I still have mine (50+ yr) but it just sits in my jewelry box.  What I once thought was so important is of no use to me now.

I never got one. I remember seeing them and they just plan looked dumb. I think they are a waste of money. :moneymouth:

I wish I had mine, my house was broken into and that was one thing that was stolen. I am sad every time I think about it.

do you still have your class ring?
did you lose it somewhere?
do you want to replace it?

I heard a story of a lady in her sixties who had her high school class ring replaced. Her high school sent it to her as a surprise. She is a public person who is on TV.
I contacted my high school and got no such affirmation. I found out that Walmart will recreate the ring for customers from graduating classes of the past.

I lost my high school class ring in the lake during my Junior year.  A bunch of us were playing keep away with a beach ball.  I jumped up to get the ball and my ring sailed right off of my finger and was never seen again.

I still have my class ring and I graduated in 1973.  It still looks good and I can still wear it, I just don't because I have other rings that I wear.

Never got one because I thought I'd just get a college one, but by that time I had an engagement ring and that was better than all of them!!!

Nope, I never got one, we couldn't afford it so it was no big deal for me.

I still have my high school class ring and wear it here and there. I am not quite sure whether I will buy a college class ring or not.

I never got my class ring or yearbook but when I go to my reunion in a few years I'll try to order it then.

I outgrew mine a long timeago. I think I sold it when I needed money. It really did not mean anytihng to me anymore. Now I KIND OF WISH i HAD NOT . I did not know that Walmart would remake a replica. That is nice to know.

My daughter has my class ring.  She has always loved it (it is very unique, it has a big diamond as the stone) and when she became a responsible adult, I gave it to her instead of waiting for her to inherit it.  She wears it occasionally. 
Have a wonderful day!
