THE STORY: Celebrating high school achievements has a nice ring to it – literally. Herff Jones LLC, which has a Warwick manufacturing facility and is now 100 years in operation, has produced class rings from the very beginning and has since expanded its portfolio to diplomas, caps and gowns, diploma frames and letterman jackets.
› The rings are made from metal, including silver and gold options, with several finishes available to choose from. Additionally, simulated gemstones are used to enhance the ring as desired.

› A class ring is worked on by about 20 different individuals in the plant before it is finished. Rings take four to six weeks to make.
› The product-development team conceptualizes styles and works with artists for renders. Once adjustments are made, those renders are sent for computer-aided design for a rendering and wax file. Then, the panels are designed for activities and mascots.
› Class rings in the new collections begin at $300.
› Approximately 250 people are employed at Herff Jones’ Warwick facility.
COVID-PROOF: The manufacturing facility has continued producing rings with no interruption during the COVID-19 pandemic.
