A class ring represents more than just a piece of jewelry—it’s a memory you can hold. But over time, many people begin to wonder what their ring might actually be worth. Maybe you’ve upgraded your jewelry, inherited a loved one’s ring, or simply want to know its true market value.

Our experienced appraisers have handled thousands of pieces, from gold jewelry and diamonds to fine art, coins, and estate collections. If you have a class ring made of gold or silver, we can determine its value by examining its purity, condition, and market demand. Every evaluation is done on-site and in person, so you can see exactly how we determine your item’s worth.
Every class ring is unique, but its value is primarily influenced by five main factors: metal type, weight, gemstones, condition, and market demand.
Most class rings are crafted from 10k, 14k, or 18k gold, though some are made from sterling silver or platinum. The karat level indicates how much pure gold the ring contains—the higher the karat, the greater its intrinsic value. Paradigm Experts uses precise tools to verify metal purity, ensuring you get an accurate estimate.
Gold and silver are priced by weight, so heavier rings usually have higher base values. During your appointment, we weigh your ring using professional-grade equipment that measures down to the tenth of a gram.
Many class rings feature gemstones or custom engravings that represent your school or achievements. Real gemstones can increase the ring’s worth, especially if they’re in good condition. Our appraisers inspect every stone carefully to verify authenticity and craftsmanship.
Rings that are scratched, dented, or missing stones may be worth slightly less. However, even worn or damaged rings still carry value because of their precious metal content. We always provide a fair and honest assessment regardless of condition.
Gold and silver prices fluctuate daily based on market trends. Our team stays updated with real-time pricing to ensure our offers reflect the current market. That means you’ll always receive an accurate, competitive quote.
Even if you don’t plan to sell your class ring, knowing its value is useful. You might want to:
