The Bodda Getta

I got mine at Ware's. 1971, It was the first one they sold made by Gold Lance. I have worn it daily for 41 years......often get stopped by someone wanting a second look at it. Have been asked if it was some sort of a "football" ring from AU. It seems to be a little dressier than the typical Balfour rings, but whatever you choose, get what you want and wear it proudly. kk

got one. really like it but i have to wash my hands about 50 times a day so i seldom wear my au or wedding ring-i'm really bad about leaving rings on the sink

I got mine in 1972 and wear it all the time. I chipped the stone earlier this year and with it lost part of the gold "U" in the logo, but it still clearly says AU!

Were you married to my ex? What a pos. It all comes back around though. Mine is married to a guy that has girlfriends calling their house.

I have worn my ring from 1964 without ever taking it off! It is worn significantly now, but I wouldn't trade it for anything and expect it to be on my finger at my demise. It is not just a symbol of my individual accomplishment as an engineer but more significantly as pride in my university and the memories that were gained there.

You can buy one at the Balfour's website or on campus.

Received mine as a graduation gift from the family during my senior year in 2009. Not sure what the rings used to look like, but there is an official ring now that students can buy. On the outside they all look the same, but you can get it engraved on the inside. Thought it was really cool that the university tells the students to wear the ring with the AU logo on the stone facing yourself until you graduate. Once graduated, you can wear the ring facing the opposite direction symbolizing that you are prepared to take on new challenges in the world.

I wear it most days at work. You'd be surprised how many times I get comments on it from fellow AU grads. I try to bring it up if I see it on a coworker. Great conversation starter. Especially cool when I meet a soldier wearing one.

War Eagle!
