The Ultimate Guide to Silicone Necklaces

Why Silicone Necklaces Are Taking Over Jewelry Trends

Style shouldn’t come with trade-offs. A silicone necklace gives you everything you want—comfort, versatility, and looks that actually work for your lifestyle. It’s jewelry you can sweat in, sleep in, live in—without the pinching, pulling, or polishing.

From bold silicone chokers to subtle silicone bead necklaces, these pieces are redefining everyday accessories. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the benefits, care tips, and style ideas to help you find your perfect match.

And when it comes to silicone jewelry? Enso Rings didn’t follow the trend—we set it. As pioneers in silicone jewelry, we’ve redefined what jewelry can be—safe, stylish, and built for real life.

What Is a Silicone Necklace?

A silicone necklace is a flexible, lightweight accessory made from high-quality, skin-safe silicone. Unlike traditional jewelry, it’s soft, waterproof, hypoallergenic, and built for movement. Whether you’re reaching for a silicone bead necklace, sleek silicone choker, or a silicone-metal hybrid, you’re choosing comfort without compromising style.

So, how does silicone stack up against the classics?

	Silicone	Full Metal	Silicone-Metal Hybrid	Leather
Comfort	Soft, flexible silicone with a braided nylon cord for a barely-there feel	Can be rigid or heavy, depending on the style	Soft and flexible with polished metal accents	Can be stiff or stretch over time
Water Resistance	100% waterproof, no rust or stains	May tarnish, rust, or corrode	Mostly water-resistant	Absorbs water, can smell or stain
Skin-Friendly	Hypoallergenic and latex-free	Can be allergy-friendly, but varies by alloy	Gentler than full metal	Can trigger reactions or chafe
Durability	Stretchable and tough for daily wear	Scratches, bends, and scuffs	Sturdy metal accents with flexible, durable silicone	Cracks or weakens with time
Maintenance	Easy to clean with soap and water	May need polishing, careful storage	Easy to clean, simple upkeep	Requires conditioning and care

A silicone necklace isn’t just a low-maintenance alternative—it’s a smart upgrade for your everyday routine.

What are silicone necklaces made of?

They’re crafted from medical-grade or food-safe silicone—basically, the good stuff. That means they’re free from latex, phthalates, and other harsh additives that can mess with your skin or wear out over time. At Enso Rings, we use a proprietary silicone blend that’s designed for durability, comfort, and everyday wear—no irritation, no drama.

Are silicone necklaces safe for sensitive skin?

Yes—100%. One of the best things about a silicone necklace is how gentle it is. Whether you go with a fully silicone style or a silicone-and-metal hybrid, they’re designed to be smooth, lightweight, and breathable. If you’ve ever ditched a necklace halfway through the day because it got itchy or hot, you’re going to love this swap.

Do silicone bead necklaces break easily?

Not at all. A quality silicone bead necklace—like the ones from Enso Rings—is made to handle movement, stretching, and everyday wear. The beads are strong, the cords are reinforced, and the closures are designed to stay secure. Translation: they're stylish and tough.

Why Choose a Silicone Necklace?

A necklace that looks good and works with your life? Yes, it exists—and it’s made of silicone. Whether you're chasing kids, commuting, hitting the gym, or just vibing through your day, a silicone necklace is built to keep up.

Here’s why it’s worth the switch:

• Comfort for all-day wear: Lightweight and flexible, so it never digs, pinches, or weighs you down.

• Sweat-proof and water-friendly: Wear it to the beach, the pool, or your next hot yoga class—no problem.

• Easy to clean: A little soap and water is all it takes to keep it looking fresh.

• Durable for active lifestyles: Designed to bend, flex, and move without falling apart.

• Stylish and customizable: Available in bold colors, sleek neutrals, and designs that truly reflect your style.

When and Where to Wear Silicone Necklaces

The beauty of a silicone necklace is that it works wherever life takes you. From high-intensity workouts to low-key weekends, it’s the one piece of jewelry that never asks you to slow down.

Here’s where it shines:

• At the gym or in yoga class: Flexible and sweat-proof, it moves with you—no slipping or sticking, no need to take it off.

• Beach days or poolside lounging: Silicone is completely waterproof and won’t fade, corrode, or stretch, even in saltwater or chlorine.

• In the shower (or ocean): Yep, it’s safe to keep on. Silicone doesn’t absorb moisture, so it stays clean, holds its shape, and never turns weird colors.

• Parenting moments: Soft and durable, it’s safe for holding babies, chasing toddlers, or dealing with snack time chaos.

• Everyday style: Whether you’re keeping it casual or leveling up with a smart casual fit, these necklaces add just enough personality.

No matter the setting, a silicone necklace fits right in—and holds up beautifully while it does.

Types of Silicone Necklaces

From bold beadwork to sleek chokers, there’s more than one way to wear a silicone necklace. Each style brings something different to the table—whether you’re all about minimalist design, vibrant color, or unique looks. 

Below, we’ll break down our four standout styles and how to pair them with other Enso Rings favorites, including our silicone ring and silicone bracelet collections. 

6mm Adjustable Beaded Choker: Style on Your Terms

This necklace flexes with your vibe—literally. The 6mm Adjustable Beaded Choker features a bold row of matte silicone beads and a no-fuss pull cord that lets you choose the fit. Wear it loose for a laid-back necklace feel or cinch it up for a true choker moment. Either way, it stays light, soft, and effortlessly cool.

Want to build a full look? Pair it with the Pink Diamond ring from our Elements Collection to complement the soft tones, or stack it with the Angel Skin Coral bracelet from our Embrace Collection for a coordinated finish that’s equal parts chic and comfortable. Whether you’re running errands, layering for a night out, or heading straight from yoga to brunch, this one’s made to adapt.

6mm Cord Beaded Choker: Minimal, Sharp, and Ready for Anything

If you’re after clean lines and an understated edge, meet your new go-to. The 6mm Cord Beaded Choker features matte black silicone beads paired with a slim black cord and a polished clasp, creating a sleek, modern silhouette. It’s proof that a black silicone necklace can feel elevated without being overdesigned.

This one’s made for layering but strong enough to stand on its own. Style it with an all-black look or contrast it with neutrals for extra impact.

Want to complete the vibe? Pair it with the Siren from the Legends Collection for a sharp, tonal look, and add the 6mm Beaded Bracelet in Obsidian & Gold from the Embrace Collection to tie it all together.

4mm Beaded Choker: Lightweight, Bright, and Built to Shine

Looking for something a little lighter with a pop of personality? The 4mm Beaded Choker in Cyan & Gold brings a delicate edge to our silicone bead necklace lineup. With smaller 4mm beads and a polished gold clasp, this piece exudes a refined elegance that never feels fussy. It’s perfect for everyday wear but brings just enough color to hold its own when you’re dressing up.

This choker is ideal for stacking with our other silicone pieces—or letting it shine solo. Pair it with Peachglow from our Aura Collection for a fun color contrast, or match it with the Lagoon, Cyan, Tropical Mist & Gold Beaded Stretch Bracelet from the Embrace Collection to keep the look sunny and fresh.

6mm Beaded Choker: Cool, Calm, and Effortlessly Put Together

Subtle but strong, our 6mm Beaded Choker is the kind of piece that grounds your look without overpowering it. With matte teal beads and gold hardware, it brings just enough color to make a statement—while still feeling neutral enough to wear on repeat.

This one plays especially well with soft layers and natural tones. Pair it with our Pine Peak from the Etched Bevel Collection to stay within the same cool spectrum, or add the Champagne & Gold bracelet 6mm Beaded Bracelet for a combo that’s balanced, modern, and ready for anything.

How to Clean and Care for Your Silicone Necklace

One of the best things about a silicone necklace? It’s ridiculously easy to keep clean. No polishing, no special sprays—just a quick rinse and you’re good to go.

Here’s how to keep it looking its best:

• Use mild soap and warm water

• Rinse thoroughly to remove buildup

• Let it air-dry or pat dry with a soft cloth

Wear it daily? A weekly clean is usually enough. Been to the gym, beach, or pool? Give it a quick wash when you get home. Just skip anything harsh—no bleach, no abrasive scrubs.

With proper care, your necklace will hold its shape, stay soft, and last a long time (like, a really long time).
