Class rings are suppose to symbolize class pride and belonging. However, not everyone has the same opinion. Some do it for the memories while others think the yearbook is enough. Then there are those who think the design is pretty and others who  don’t.

“I think class rings are really good to have because they hold a lot of sentimental value. Also, the company is great because they have a lifetime warranty so you can get it fixed, resized, cleaned, etc. It’s a big stepping stone in life which you get to be proud of,” said senior Zaharie Santana.

The company ILS works with for class rings is HJ Miami which is the same one used for yearbook photos. There are many options to choose from whether students want a gold, silver, or rose gold ring; they’ve got it. Parents are supposed to order the ring for their kids and then give it to them during the Junior Ring Ceremony, a beautiful moment for the class to come together and receive the ring they are going to keep forever as a reminder of their high school years.

“I’m going to get one for the memories and because I think they are cute,” stated junior Mia Gomez.

Nevertheless, as stated earlier not everyone has the same opinion. There are students who don’t like the designs or don’t wear rings so they think it’s pointless to buy one. Perhaps, if ILS were to branch out and give other options like bracelets and necklaces, there would be other opinions on this matter. The entire concept of class rings is to keep a piece of high school with you and for the class to come together in the ceremony, but by limiting people’s options, some students are being denied that opportunity.

“I didn’t get one because I didn’t like any of the designs and I know it’s about the memories, but I feel like I would never wear it and end up loosing it,” admitted senior Victoria Chevallier Boutell.
