The name should be etched inside the ring, but...

I believe Herff Jones or Jostens made the Clemson class rings at that time. The alumni office may be able to tell you for sure.

That said, if you just need to have it resized, using a local jeweler would be less of a headache than shipping it back to the manufacture.

My son just ordered his Clemson ring this week. I did not realize the price had increased to well over $1,000!!!!! I think my ring was around $350.

Mine was around $300 back in the late 90's. Lost it several years ago. Went to replace it and it was around a grand for the 10k gold. I opted for the Celestrium allow (looks like white gold) for around $400. The silver-ish look is not traditional, but I've gotten used to it and like the way it looks better than gold. Matches my wedding band.
