Class Ring

I have been listening to this book:

It's an interesting book - one artifact that figures into the story is a high school class ring.

I asked a few classmates if they had gotten a Nicolet High School class of 1973 ring.  None of the four who responded had gotten one.  I also tried searching online for one to at least see a picture, nope !  So I guess that class rings had fallen out of favor in 1973.  Also I didn't find any record of prices for the 1973 class rings online.

For some reason I seem to recall that the price was under $40 - that would inflate to:
a little on the expensive side

My Mom had offered to get me a class ring but I refused - I feel bad about that now - not so much for the ring itself but that I think it meant more to her than to me - a symbol of a small achievement by her son ?
