So how much did those NC rings cost


Apr 5, 2019, 10:45 AM

If I go to the jeweler and say make me a right with all this stuff on it with 20 something diamonds, it's 20 grand easy. Make 100 or so and it's still 10 grand a pop easy.

NCAA limits the dollar amount of championship rings to $415. Auburn’s National Championship rings that were given to their players cost exactly $415 each. Conference championship rings are limited to $285 each. So, these rings aren’t worth all that much monetarily.

Yea. Most likely made of steel or some other low cost metal. These definitely are not platinum or white gold. And I’m sure the discounts for a massive order from the manufacturer is implemented

Silver is very cheap so it makes adding diamond chips easier

The rings are neither silver nor do they have diamond chips.

Interesting feedback! It's amazing what info you can find online if you know where to look.

Yep. Just google the cost of Clemson’s National Championship ring. Tells you all you want to know.

Also, these rings are made by Josten’s. Yep, the same company that made your high school ring. They did not come from Tiffany’s.

The value is the "effort-all in" it required to earn one. Ring value monetarily is not a necessary measure......

Didn't most HS & college rings used to come from a a company called Balfour, or was that just class rings?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: So how much did those NC rings cost


Apr 5, 2019, 5:39 PM

Balfour is the company for Clemson rings. The Ring Ceremony is Sunday afternoon at LJ. For many years Colonel Ben Skardon has been a staple at the ceremony. I'm sure the ring is a tad more expensive than mine was.

BTW if anyone has lost their ring and wants to replace it, they will sell you a replacement. I won't name names, but for some of you, they may not have rings that far back. (wink)

Back in 1972, my Clemson ring cost $50. My son’s 1994 ring cost a couple of hundred. My ring is twice as big and 3 times as heavy as his. He is extremely jealous of my ring.

My Dad's class of '46 ring was stolen recently. I guess he's out of luck on a replacement, huh.

In my era Josten's had the local contract for HS rings, Herff Jones made Clemson rings, and Balfour made sorority pins. Girls' rings were in the $100-$200 range in those days, and are in the $250-$450 range now.

I'm guessing school districts and colleges bid out ring contracts every 5 years and those three companies are usually awarded most of the contracts.

I think my ring was, like $65. Class of '70. Of course, those were 1969 dollars....
