Trivia: Origin of the Class Ring

By Alex in Daily Trivia, Fashion on Apr 21, 2008 at 12:39 pm


The tradition of the class ring began in 1835 at West Point.

Members of the United States Military Academy at West Point class of 1835 designed their own rings, which were purchased privately and made to order for the individuals. (Source)
