If you're in the market for a new silicone ring for any purpose, wedding/engagement or otherwise, you're going to have a number of options for where to purchase it. Silicone rings have been exploding in popularity across the country for several years now, and they can be found in several different possible locations. 

At Enso Rings, we're happy to offer the widest selection of silicone rings available, from wedding and engagement rings to fashion rings, comfort rings and even child-themed rings like our Star Wars and Disney collections. While it's true that silicone rings can be purchased in many stores, is this the right way to go if you're in need of one or more such rings? Here's a primer.

Why Silicone Rings Are So Popular

First and foremost, let's look into why silicone rings are so popular in the first place. They offer a number of advantages over other types of rings, including:

• They're much more comfortable: Silicone is a soft and flexible material that molds to your finger, meaning there's no uncomfortable pinching or squeezing as with metal rings.

• They're safe for active people: Unlike metal rings, silicone rings are safe for people who work with their hands or participate in activities where a metal ring could pose a danger, such as contact sports.

• They're very affordable: Another big selling point of silicone rings is that they don't cost nearly as much as traditional metal rings, making them a great option if you're on a budget.

• They're hypoallergenic: If you have metal allergies, silicone is a great alternative since it's completely hypoallergenic.

These are actually just a few of the major reasons why silicone rings have become so popular in recent years. It's no wonder that they can now be found in stores all across the country.

Purchasing Options for Silicone Rings

Here are some of your general options if you're looking for a silicone ring:

Mall outlet or kiosk: In some cases, you may find a small mall outlet or kiosk that specializes in selling silicone rings. These can be a good option if you're just looking for a basic ring and don't need any customization options.

Physical store: Whether inside a mall or as a standalone store, you may come across stores that sell silicone rings as part of a larger selection of jewelry. These can be a good option if you want to be able to try on the rings before purchasing.

Online store: Finally, there are plenty of excellent online stores that sell silicone rings, like Enso Rings. Online stores often offer the widest selection of rings as well as the best prices.

So, can you buy silicone rings in stores? The answer is yes! However, there are a few things to keep in mind before making your purchase -- and also some situations where going with an online store is the preferred option. Let's discuss further below.

Getting the Best Price

For many, especially those looking for multiple silicone rings, the biggest factor in deciding where to make their purchase is going to be price. In general, you'll find that online stores offer the best prices on silicone rings, especially if you're looking to buy in bulk. This is due to the fact that online stores have lower overhead costs than physical stores and can pass those savings on to their customers.

Of course, there are always exceptions to this rule. In some cases, you may find a physical store that's having a clearance sale or special promotion on silicone rings. Or, you may come across a mall outlet or kiosk that specializes in selling silicone rings and offers lower prices than most other stores. In general, though, you'll get the best price on silicone rings by shopping online.

The Best Selection

Another big advantage of shopping for silicone rings online is that you'll have access to the widest selection of rings. This is especially true if you're looking for something specific, like a silicone ring with a certain design or color. When it comes to finding the perfect silicone ring, shopping online gives you the best chance of success.

Trying on Silicone Rings Isn't as Vital

While no one is saying there's no value whatsoever to trying on silicone rings in-person, the reality is that this sort of thing is much more important for rigid metal rings and other types of jewelry. This is because the fit of a silicone ring is much more forgiving than that of a metal ring. As long as you have a general idea of your ring size, you should be able to find a silicone ring that fits well without having to try it on first.

Of course, if you're unsure about your ring size or just want to be absolutely sure that the ring you're getting will fit, it's always best to err on the side of caution and try it on in-person first. But if you're comfortable with your ring size or are willing to exchange/return the ring if it doesn't fit, buying a silicone ring online is definitely an option worth considering.

So, there you have it! You can absolutely buy silicone rings in stores -- but in many cases, shopping online is going to be your best bet in terms of price and selection. No matter where you ultimately decide to make your purchase, we hope you find the perfect ring for you!
