Class Rings [SOLVED]

I'm graduating from my University next semester and I was thinking of getting a ring. I busted my ass and I'm pretty proud of my degree so I feel like commemorating it, even though I probably won't wear it. I would really like something along the lines of this design:
Hopefully the picture works for you guys.
However, I'm not paying the huge sums of money these deuschbags want for their generic shitty product. In my opinion they are taking advantage of college/high school students and providing them with rings you'd normally find in a box of cracker jacks. Do you guys know if you can go to a normal jeweler and get this stuff done or at least somewhere that will give me something not so mass produced?
Case in point: My buddy's stone in his shitty class ring fell out about 2 weeks after he got it and they said they would only fix it for $200. He said no, they called back the next day and offered to do it for $125. He told them thats still ridiculous since they should do it for free and got a local jeweler to fix it for $20. I'm not giving these guys my money.

More than likely Jostens, their rings are ridiculously overpriced for what you get.
I suggest going to a Goldsmith and talking with them, get a custom ring crafted.
Don't get one if it's overpriced and you don't really want to wear it. Waste of money. Get your diploma framed so that it doesn't sit at the bottom of a drawer (like most people's) if you want to commemorate your graduation. Then spend the rest of the money you would have spent on a ring on something you actually want.
Unless you're the football champ, I can't see wearing a college ring. As tsmvengy said, frame your diploma, maybe go buy a paperweight or something from the campus bookstore.
Though I'm in agreeance with other posters that have said if you don't plan on wearing it; don't get the ring. It turns into a dusty paper weight...
Silly as it may seem, drop the coin on a quality one and hang that sucker proudly.
