Metal Qualities

 


Yellow Gold

White Gold

Gold enhances the beauty and quality of your Herff Jones College Ring and provides long-lasting value. All Herff Jones gold rings begin from bars of pure gold. Metallurgists blend the gold with other metals such as silver and copper for durability. All 10K, 14K, and 18K gold used by Herff Jones undergoes a strict spectrographic analysis to insure each ring will always be bold, beautiful and lustrous.

All Herff Jones College Rings are custom-made to last a lifetime. Other ring manufacturers offer high karat gold products. However any gold alloy higher than 18K will result in a softer, less durable product that will not withstand everyday wear and is not worthy of being called a Herff Jones College Ring!

Although gold costs more than non-precious metals, its value has continued to increase for hundreds of years and is the most popular choice for millions of students. A 10K, 14K, or 18K gold Herff Jones College Ring will always draw attention and will have much more than just sentimental value!

White Ultrium
White Ultrium
All that glitters is not gold! In the early 1970’s, Herff Jones created White Ultrium, a non-precious, stainless alloy, which has been the choice of many college students for its beauty and affordability. White Ultrium is incredibly strong and durable minimizing scratches and abrasions. Since it does not tarnish, the beauty and brilliance of White Ultrium remains unaffected for years.
