Class Rings

[NT91]

IS your class ring mfg by Joston or Balfour

[FireFightnJoey]

I got my ring in '96 by Jostens. I like it, but now they have a school ring like TTU, UT and TAMU has and it is manufactured by Jostens. I've seen it and I really like it. For the standard $55 remake/warranty fee, they will remake your old ring into the new style. I plan on doing this.

I am an '02 Grad and have the "official" Jostens ring. I like it. It is eye catching and many times people will stop me and ask about it - good chance to hype up the school.

Graduated in 2000 and had to go with Josten's. Was upset at the time at the lack of choice, but I like it now. I get comments on it all the time.

about how much are the class rings?

[THOR]

I've got a jostens one from 2000, it's not bad looking. Are there pictures anywhere of the two rings compared?

I had an Alum ring mfg that looks like a sports championship ring.

one shank has EST. 1890, the other has NT ALUM

about how much are the class rings?

it depends on the size and color of the ring. I got mine in 04 which is 14kt gold, and the med size, and it was close to 500 but i love it, and people ask about it all the time

Jostens official ring...from the bookstore. It only took a couple of months to get, but was a bit pricey... Still, well worth it I think.

GMG!!!

John Roberts. I don't think they are in business any longer, but they made a very classy NTSU ring. No TAMU lookalikes. John Roberts also made rings for UT at the time. Mine has a more "ivy league" look. I'll see if I can post pictures of it.

True story.

The Jostens on I35 in Denton makes the high school rings.

The Jostens in Green Bay makes the college rings.

I was at Texas Tech. I went to high school in Denton. My ring was cracking at the bottom. There was a Jostens rep at Tech. I showed him the ring. He said he could take care of it.

He shipped the ring to Green Bay. They shipped it to Denton. Denton repaired it. Shipped the ring back to Green Bay, who shipped it to me in Lubbock.

By class ring was better traveled than I was.

Actually lost my Jostens ring one time, how is a story for another day, but it only cost me $100 to get it replaced.

It is a nice little policy they have, but don't tell you about.

If it is lost or stolen, you have a one time only $100 replacement option.

ArtCarved

[Green92]

Mine is ArtCarved also. It looks similar to the A&M ring, but I set the record straight if I get asked by any pesky aggie. I love the new ones and considered getting one when I got my masters in 2003, but I chose to stick with my old one. I’ve been wearing it 13 years and have grown attached to it.

[El Paso Eagle]

Also ArtCarved

[3XNTGRAD]

Also ArtCarved

Ditto

[PlummMeanGreen]

Mine was made by ArtCarved who I believe is based out of Austin, Texas.

Really enjoyed wearing that diamond-studded ring, too. Guess someone else is enjoying it now or they allowed some pawn shop to enjoy the diamond part of it.

My class ring had the rectangular design which I preferred over traditional. Guess I could always get another one, though, right? Should I get one with, uh, "UNT" on it?!?!? LOL!

[NTEdgex2]

I couldn't afford whatever they had in '74. I've considered buying a pendant from Jostens. I saw it at the bookstore when we bought my daughter's ring and it looks pretty nice. The rep from Josten's said they could also make me a ring with NTSU on it if I wanted!

GMG!

Mine is the official Jostens ring... I like it alot, but it is too loose and I hate the idea of losing it.

Has anyone had a jostens ring resized? the small green gem in the middle is also broken (can't remember how that happened) so I need that replaced.

Mine is also the offical Josten's ring. It's all white gold with no stones or anything so it goes with everything and I LOOOVE it.

I get asked about it a lot. Had a random guy at a Pat Green concert climb over the seat cause he was so excited about my "aggie" ring. I set him straight. But I get lots of comments and that is always good cause then I get to talk up North Texas. (Especially with the kids I work with. They always ask about it/want to try it on.)

I have a Jostons 1991. It has "NT" under the eagle. How about that.

Do you have the name of the rep who told you this ? I have asked before and was told that they would not put NTSU on the ring. If they would, that would be GREAT !

NCMeangreen. I made my own. I thought the rings were a bit pricey...so I just made my own. It is amazing what you can do with tin foil.

If anyone is interested, I can make you one also. 12.95, plus shipping fees.

Can I get a diamond in my ring?

[NCMeanGreen]

Can I get a diamond in my ring?

No...but I can p/u some realistic looking faux CZ from the machine at my local Wal Mart. I can stop there on the way home from work tonight!
