Beyond the Diploma: What to Do with Your High School and College Rings

For many, a high school or college ring is a powerful symbol of achievement, camaraderie, and unforgettable years. But if you're like most people, that once-cherished ring eventually finds its way to a forgotten corner of a dusty drawer.

So, what should you do with it when the nostalgia fades and new memories take center stage?

The good news is, depending on your sentimental attachment, you have several excellent options!

Option 1: Display It as a Cherished Keepsake

If your ring still holds a special place in your heart, consider these ways to keep its memories alive:

• Create a Memento Display: Place your ring in a display case alongside other treasures from your school years, like a graduation tassel, a favorite photo, or a yearbook. It's a beautiful way to honor your past achievements.

• Family Heirloom: Store it safely in a jewelry box or even a safe deposit box with the intention of passing it down. While it might not hold immense value for you now, imagine the joy a descendant 50 years from now might feel holding a tangible piece of family history!

• Wear It Proudly: Don't forget the simplest option – wear it! Slip it on your finger, or if you prefer, string it on a chain to wear as a unique necklace.

Option 2: Unlock its Hidden Value

What if your ring doesn't carry strong sentimental value, or you're simply looking to declutter and downsize? That's where we come in.

Estate Inventory Services can help you auction off your class ring along with other items as part of your cleanout or downsizing process. `

Why are class rings so popular at our auctions?

Our bidders are always on the lookout for class rings because they understand their intrinsic value. Here’s what makes them appealing:

• Precious Metals: Most class rings are crafted from 10K or 14K gold, making them valuable for their metal content alone. Sterling silver rings also attract significant interest at our auctions.

• Historical & Unique Appeal: Very old rings, those from prestigious schools, or rings with unique designs can command higher prices due to their rarity and historical significance.

• Weight Matters: The heavier the ring, the more precious metal it contains, directly increasing its potential auction value. Men's rings are typically larger and heavier than women's rings, often giving them a higher intrinsic value based on metal content.

• Diamonds & Gemstones: If your ring features a natural, high-quality diamond or gemstone, its value can increase significantly, making it an even more desirable item for collectors and buyers.
