Class Signet Rings: The Custom Class Ring Alternative
A class signet ring carries your school artwork, graduation year or initials on a flat engraved face instead of a large center stone. It is the most popular of the class ring alternatives, next to a college pendant and an initial ring, and each one here is made to order from the details you send.

Why people skip the traditional class ring
The usual reasons are style and choice. A traditional class ring has a set shape with a large center stone, and some graduates want a piece they will keep wearing at work and in daily life. A signet or pendant carries the same details in a quieter form.
What a custom maker can and cannot do
We make each piece from the artwork and wording you send, so you choose the face shape, the metal and the layout. We are not an official school supplier and hold no license from any school. You need to be entitled to use any seal or logo you supply.
Metal choices
925 sterling silver is the lower-cost option. Gold plated and vermeil finishes give a gold look and wear with daily use over months to years. Solid 10K, 14K or 18K gold costs more and resists wear and tarnish better. Options vary by product.
Frequently asked questions
What can I get instead of a class ring?
A custom signet ring with your school details, a college pendant, or an initial ring with your graduation year. All three are made to order, and the pendant needs no ring size, which makes it easier to give as a gift.
Are class rings still worth buying?
That depends on whether you will wear it. If the traditional shape is not your style, a signet or pendant with the same school details is more likely to be worn after graduation. Pick the form you already wear.
What are class ring alternatives for guys?
A flat-faced signet ring is the most common choice, in sterling silver or gold, with the school artwork or initials engraved. Hexagonal and square faces are available in our university designs, and each product page lists its options.
What are class ring alternatives for girls?
A smaller signet ring, a stone-set university ring or a college pendant. Pendants and name or initial necklaces are popular because they need no sizing and can be worn every day.
Can I design my own graduation ring?
Yes. Send the school artwork, year, degree, initials or a sketch. The design is drawn to fit the ring and sent to you as a digital proof, usually within 24 to 48 hours. Production starts after you approve it.
