I knew my degree would pay off. My class ring of white gold now valued intrinsically at 4K! Paid $60 in 67!

I had never given thought to the value of my 69 class ring.

I reckon I need to specifically list it in my will so that the ring does not get tossed.

Same here, but as the result of three marriages. My first wife threw her wedding and engagement rings at me when we broke up back in 1990. When I buried my second wife in 2017, I kept all of her jewelry (I had enough money invested in it), then I remarried in 2020, she will most likely outlive me, but I still have access to it. It is all insured too.

My high school class ring for Class of 73 was $42. I graduated from UCSD with the Class of 1976. The ring is a similar size and cost $120. Both are likely close to an ounce of gold. In recent years, the class rings have been offered in alternative (not gold) metals to make them affordable. Same applies to inset stones.

I really doubt that it is 24k.

Which company made your class ring?
