the meaning of a ring

When thinking of a ring, the first thought is weddings and sharing each others love. Rings can be mean something very special or be something simple, an accessory. I never really thought of it as a way to remember the class of 2008 until the class rings were purchased. I have never spent so much on a ring before and I thought it was rediculous how much they were charging. However, even with the cost factor I still decided to purchase one. I knew in the future I would regret it if I hadn't purchased one. I handed the packet over to my mom and wanted her to figure out the forms because it looked to complicated. When I received it back she wrote a check for the 14K gold ring. Is it really necessary to get the ring with more K's? Or can people actually tell the difference between a 10K and 14K. I didn't make a big deal about it, but kind of wanted to save the money and put it into some other use.

With the purchase of the ring, there is a two year warantee and the company will replace a new ring. I'd rather purchase a cheaper ring, then having that two year replacement deal. I think I'd be pretty caucious and keep track of where I would place it. A ring is a ring and I can visualize the ring box collecting dust at the bottom of my drawer. I don't think I ever see girls wearing their class rings to school. Maybe they think it doesn't match their outfit, or maybe it's the look of the ring. I only see a couple of boys wearing their class rings on a daily basis. Either way I better make good use of the three hundred something dollar ring. There is no turning back now; the check is in their hands now. I'm hoping that I will make good use of the class ring, but I guess I'll have to see from senior skip day and on.
