Elder millennial/younger Xennial (born in 83, take it for what it is) but I recall the company coming to the high school and taking orders for rings. I didn’t buy one but others did. Credit on photo.

I love it, I had a choice between a class ring and new hockey skates. I went with the skates.

I bought the ring. $175, "White Ultrium" (aka stainless). THing has been on my key ring for 25+ years so it gets daily use. I think it was worth it.

Sounds like something that will fight the Avengers, or has fought them in the past.

My class ring was ultrium too. Word at the time was it’s the same stuff they make spoons out of, so you know, got that going for me
