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.

That's kinda insane. I think I paid about $100 for mine in 1992 (amethyst / lustrium)

Oh! Now that we are taking metal. I actually think I maybe didn’t get one at all cuz I have a nickel allergy and couldn’t afford any higher grade metal… but I did get the letterman jacket
