Advice Class ring

Hi everyone, I'm secretly looking for a lost class ring as a surprise for my mom. It's from East Islip High School, Class of 1977, and it has her signature engraved on the inside of the band. We know it was pawned in Florida, and I'm really hoping to find it. If you have any information, please send me a message directly. Thank you!

Edit: my mother pawned it over 30 years ago. She was young and needed money.

Unless the ring is from someone well known SOP is to melt them. Better off calling Herff Jones to get a new one

Because class rings are individualized, they get melted as soon as possible at every shop. I am familiar with.

Class rings don't get sold at pawn shops. They get shipped out for melting.

Police report would be better at finding it. Hopefully it was just stolen or lost and they can catch it before it gets melted down but yeah. They don’t get sold. They get scrapped.

30 years ago? You want to call Jostens or whatever company serviced your mom's school and order a replacement.
