Antique 1938 Josten 10K Gold Top Sterling High School Ring

Antique 1938 Josten 10K Gold Top Sterling High School Ring

This authentic antique ring is a classic high school class ring from 1938, manufactured by the famous Josten company, a brand synonymous with quality American school jewelry since the late 19th century. The design follows the classic Art Deco era signet style, featuring a bold, rectangular black onyx stone. Mounted atop the onyx is a striking 10K yellow gold crest depicting the initials "SHS," likely representing a high school. The shank of the ring exhibits the stepped, geometric lines and streamlined symmetry typical of the late 1930s.

The ring is constructed with a 10K gold top fused to a sterling silver base for durability and classic two-tone appeal. The ring is a size 9.75 and measures 5/8 inch wide across the face. The inner band is marked "Josten" and originally read "10K Top Sterling."
