Help with Clemson Class Ring
Aug 22, 2016, 6:29 PM
|
|
I get to order my Clemson Ring tomorrow! I'm so excited! However, I'm having a bit of a time selecting what to have engraved on the inside. I'm thinking the last line to the Alma Mater: "And our Alma Mater reigneth Ever in our lives."
What do y'all think?

so if you lose it, somebody might return it.
Crazy idea, I know.

That's what's in mine. I'm sure they can find me, but i haven't lived in my home town in 40 years.

but you registered at Clemson with your hometown

when you were a freshman. They do maintain records.
I have found two college rings in my life and both have been returned to their owners by tracking them down through that university's Alumni Center. Neither were Clemson rings, but same premise.

Congratulations! It's an honor to get your Clemson ring.
At the risk of sounding obvious, make sure your name is engraved inside the ring. I lost my ring at the Atlanta airport a few years ago -- I always take the ring off when washing my hands.
About a year and a half later, someone contacted me through LinkedIn and told me they had my ring! I was one happy Tiger.
Good luck!

I metal detect and have returned many wedding, high school and collegiate rings over the years through the ring manufacturer or school alumni association but this is impossible without a name engraved on the inside. So I strongly recommend that you put your name inside if you ever want a chance to get it back should you lose it. And believe me many do lose them especially around water.

Congratulations on your success in college.
As to your question; First, if you must ask, just how important is the phrase to you? Second, who else will see it?

I guess I want it to be meaningful, and honestly not many people will see it. I guess I just needed to decide if I want to be sentimental or practical.

I requested my name and

my major "Mechanical Engineering" to be engraved on the inside. What I received had my name misspelled with an "m" in place of an "n" and my major misspelled as "Mechancial Engineering". I initially didn't even notice, but when I did I just rolled with it and sometimes show it to people to get a good laugh.

I have my name and major.
Lost it in the stadium at the Notre Dame game last year.
Jtiger99 found it and returned it before the next game.
Tiger fans are the best.

Yes they are! I lost my wallet in the parking lot at the national championship game and someone called me. Didn't know the number but final decide to answer the call. Low and behold two tiger fan stated they had and found my wallet beside our rental car. Found a business card of mines in my wallet to contact me. I offered to give them a monetary reward but the refused to take it. Two Great Ladies of Good Faith from Clemson. Thank You Once Again!!

At the very least, get your initials put in it. I saw a

story out on a metal detecting video about a lost class ring being returned after, I think, 48 years, tracked down by initials in the ring.
