The cheapest option with no precious metals is around $400. Mine has the Extension School’s coat of arms on one side and Kirkland House’s on the other. People commonly engrave class year on the sides as well. Each side can be customized with the student’s house and school. I’m very pleased with the amount of customization allowed. I inquired about their style sizing and included it here for anyone else that needs the info: L – 18mm x 15mm, M – 16mm x 14mm, S – 13mm x 11mm, XS – 12mm x 10mm. I imagine that if one wants the more traditional bulky signet ring you’d have to get at least a medium but that wouldn’t fit my hand. It ended up looking more like an “normal” ring than a signet ring because of its extra small sizing. My fingers are long and thin so I went with the extra small design, extra small being 1mm smaller than small. Secondly, class rings are a military tradition and thus commonly worn at my workplace. Why do I want a class ring? Well firstly I think signet rings are classy but I don’t have a signet of my family crest passed down for generations like others. La Hart & Co but I went with the Balfour ring. There are at least three other companies that make Harvard class rings, Signitas, Herff Jones, and M. I’ve heard that back in the day there were competing efforts between the Coop and the Harvard Shop to introduce a class ring and it looks like the Harvard Shop’s ring made by Balfour won out.
Harvard class rings are almost universally signet rings however, there is no “official” ring. Does Harvard have something similar? Harvard class rings aren’t as universal as the brass rat is to MIT but they are around. Everyone knows about that massive brass rat the MIT students wear.
