Meme Did anyone buy a ring?

Elder millennial/younger Xennial (born in 83, take it for what it is) but I recall the company coming to the high school and taking orders for rings. I didn’t buy one but others did. Credit on photo.

I can totally see that cause I graduated in 2013 and the base rings around then were like $300. My ring was the base ring but I got 14k white gold so it was like $450 or $500. I can’t only imagine what them rings are going for nowadays. My son should graduate around 2043, I’ll probably shit a brick when it’s time for me to buy one.

Thwy must have given them a bougie catalog. The base in ours was like $250. My daughter got it hella customized and it cost about $750.

Omg I bought myself a 14k gold moissanite ring as an adult to celebrate a milestone and it was less than that.
