Custom Armed Forces Rings 1775

In Roman and Egyptian empires rings were a symbol of military honor until they became a symbol for societal status. In the middle Ages, they became popular throughout Europe and were often used as seals for various documents. Military rings signified the soldier’s social standing and it was a privilege to wear them. Romans and Greeks wore them as a sign of military prowess.

Military rings first appeared within the US Military back in 1835,  as cadet class rings presented at commissioning ceremonies. Back then, the officer cadets designed their own rings which were purchased and made to order at the individual’s own private expense. In 1837 the custom of military rings caught on at the Military Academies. Every academy graduate or class member was presented with a ring to celebrate their class graduation which they wore on throughout their career to signify the cadet class they belonged to.
