Do You Have a Class Ring?

It was once a dream for me to have a class ring after a graduated from college. Kids these days do not know about class rings anymore.

Back in the day, young couples in high school would exchange class rings and for the ladies, these are usually worn as a necklace’s pendant. If you wore one, that means you are in a relationship with the person who owns the ring.

This petite class ring for girls is something that I would have if I was only given the time and opportunity to hear the words: “design your class ring

Ahhh…high school days.
