I've got one. White gold with raised top. I love it! Everyone I know got one and loves it.
TCU's ring design is horrible. I know students who are thinking about ordering their own custom TCU so they don't have to wear the terrible ones TCU designed.

According to that article, they went to a standard ring in 2002. I love the idea of everyone having the same ring. It provides a sense of unity.
But to be quite honest.... .I think our ring design is absolutely terrible.
I'll probably get one anyway... but I just wish the "ring committee" would have come up with a design that wasn't so damn blehhhh
those are fugly, surely there is more to choose from!
It grows on you. At first, I wished that it had someting more to it. Most other schools have these gaudy looking things that are only distinguishable from a high school ring once you get up close to them and can read the university name. TCU's ring is clean and fairly unique for schools in this part of the country.
If they were free like at A&M (built into annual fees) then yeah we would all have one and they would be a cool status symbol.
I was broke at graduation I did not get one and I don't regret it. It is not going to catch on and be widely popular unless they are free.
