Commemorative Brands, Inc.
 PROFILE
Like many a lovestruck high-schooler, Commemorative Brands wants you to wear its ring. Founded in 1996 to buy ArtCarved and Balfour, the company is the #2 US maker of class rings, after Jostens. It also produces diplomas, graduation announcements, and other paper products, and sells caps and gowns, yearbooks, and related items made by third parties. About 90% of the company's sales come from scholastic products, which it sells through retailers and independent sales representatives. It also makes commemorative family jewelry, jewelry for sports fans, employee awards, and Super Bowl and World Series rings. Merchant bank Castle Harlan owns Commemorative Brands as well as yearbook producer Taylor Publishing.
