College rings are, perhaps, one of the most grotesque manifestations of male jewelry ever created. Aside from their garish design, they're downright offensive in size. They'll attract attention to your hands and away from your smiling mug -- never a good thing. Plus, we've yet to find one outfit or other piece of jewelry that they go well with, other than your varsity jacket.

We pray that you're still not wearing that jacket.

When it comes to male jewelry, less is more. Some purists argue that the only jewelry an adult man should wear are his wristwatch and a wedding band. Although we won't go to such extremes, one tasteful and discreet ring is acceptable. So is a necklace, as long as both the chain and charm are understated. In other words, make sure your chain isn't thick enough to belong on the Amistad and your crucifix isn't big enough for Jesus to hang from. In short, jewelry should lend a subtle accent of elegance to your attire, Puff Daddy notwithstanding.

As for the ring, store it alongside your varsity jersey, yearbook, and that tie-dyed T-shirt you picked up ten years ago on Spring Break. If you've done the college thing right, these items will serve as fond reminders of a time when you enriched your mind, put your body through hell, and had a grand old time doing it. Time to embrace your new life with your new wife.

One last thing. On second thought, throw out that T-shirt.
