Official 49er Ring

The UNC Charlotte official 49er ring is an emblem of academic achievement and serves as a tangible reminder of a student’s memories at UNC Charlotte. Created exclusively for Niner Nation by Jostens, its well-known symbols instantly designate the wearer as a proud 49er.

Designed for and by students and 49er alumni, the official ring captures the very essence of life on and around the Niner Nation. Each symbol that adorns this ring was carefully chosen to capture the pride and passion of UNC Charlotte.

Wear it with pride! As a constant reminder of your achievements and the tradition of our alma mater, we are proud to offer you the official ring of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte!

Ring proceeds benefit Alumni Association programs.
