The Ultimate Guide to Silicone Rings

Tired of wearing a clunky, uncomfortable metal ring? It’s time to discover silicone rings—the flexible, comfortable, and safer alternative to metal rings.

With countless colors, styles, and even custom engravings available, they offer the perfect blend of personal style and practical design. You’ll enjoy all the symbolism of a traditional ring but with added comfort, durability, and versatility for everyday life.

Read on to learn everything you need to know about silicone rings—from benefits to buying tips and how to find your perfect ring today!

Why Are People Choosing Silicone Rings?

Traditionally, most Americans have chosen metal rings as their wedding rings, class rings, sports rings, or other everyday accessories. So, why are people swapping their metal rings out for silicone ones? Because they boast seven distinct advantages that explain their surge in popularity.

1. Flexibility

Metal rings are firm and rigid with no give or stretch. This can become an issue if you are exercising or working with your hands. Silicone is very flexible and can adapt to your environment, making it easy to switch from activity to activity without any worry about your ring.

2. Quality Materials

Silicone rings are far better than rubber or plastic ones. Silicone is non-toxic and doesn’t break down into microplastics, making it a safe material for rings. Rubber can easily deteriorate and crack, while silicone won’t. Some people have allergies to metals, but silicone is hypoallergenic, making it one of the safer ring options for everyone. 

3. Durability

Metal rings are often extremely durable, but people forget how durable silicone rings can be! Silicone keeps its shape and design without cracking. Even when it’s stretched, squished, or heated up if you leave it in a hot car, it will quickly snap back to its original shape.

Enso is so sure about the durability of our rings that we offer a lifetime warranty. If your ring has any issues, simply send in a picture and it’ll be replaced.

4. Easy to Clean

Metal rings often need a special cleaning solution or careful attention to detail to clean. In many cases, jeweled rings are taken to professionals for cleaning services.

With a silicone ring, you can easily wash it in the sink with some soap and water. It will only take a couple of minutes! If your ring is more intricate and has grooves, you can simply use a Q-tip or a toothpick to clean the small crevices. 

5. Safer

Ring avulsions occur when metal rings are pulled or pinched, damaging fingers. In extreme cases, these incidents can even amputate the finger. In an emergency, a silicone ring can easily be slipped off, or under extreme force, it will break to release your finger. Silicone is also non-conductive, so if it touches a live wire or another electrical source, it won’t conduct electricity that could possibly harm you. 

6. More Comfortable

When you wear a silicone ring, it naturally bends and moves with your finger, giving you the flexibility that metal rings can’t match. It’s also incredibly lightweight, so you’ll often forget you’re even wearing it. Unlike rigid metal, they won’t pinch, dig into your skin, or feel tight if your fingers swell. Whether working out, working with your hands, or just living life, comfort comes standard.

7. Affordable

Many of the rings we wear in our lives can be extremely expensive. Engagement and wedding rings can cost thousands of dollars. Sports rings, class rings, and other decorative rings can cost hundreds. A silicone ring can cost anywhere between $20 and $60, so you can save money and even afford a few different styles. 

Who Are Silicone Rings for?

Silicone rings are for everyone! While anyone can wear and enjoy the convenience of a silicone ring, several groups of people would benefit the most from wearing one.

1. Outdoor Adventurers

Do you enjoy exploring the great outdoors by hiking, biking, climbing, camping, or boating? You need a comfortable, breathable ring that you won't have to worry about losing, getting dirty, or scuffing. Silicone rings are lightweight, flexible, and built to handle every adventure without slowing you down.

2. Medical or Dental Professionals

If you’re a healthcare worker or dental employee, you need a ring that will easily slip under gloves or come off when it’s time to scrub down for surgery. Enso Rise rings are made with SteriTouch antimicrobial material, making them perfect for medical or dental employees.

3. Trade Professionals

If you’re an electrician, plumber, mechanic, or construction worker, you may need to remove a traditional metal ring for safety. With a silicone ring, you can stay safe on the job—keeping your fingers happy. It’s the perfect work-friendly solution.

4. Gym Enthusiasts or Athletes

If you’re a self-proclaimed gym rat or a professional athlete or enjoy a good pick-up game, gym and sports equipment can rub against a metal ring and damage it or your hand. Silicone rings are safe for physical activities and comfortable, so they won't slow you down or cause discomfort. 

5. Travelers

When you’re traveling around the world, you probably want to leave your most valuable jewelry at home. Instead, opt for a silicone ring on your next work trip or vacation so you can still show your commitment to a loved one, special cause, or fandom while staying comfortable.

6. Parents and Caregivers

If you care for kids, pets, or elderly family members, you need a flat, smooth, and soft ring that won’t accidentally scratch sensitive skin. Silicone rings are gentle, flexible, and easy to clean—perfect for anyone juggling feedings, diaper changes, or caring for loved ones throughout the day.

7. Cause Supporters

Do you want to represent a cause that you’re passionate about?  Whether it’s Pride, Best Friends Animal Society, or Earth Day, you can show what cause you support simply by wearing a silicone ring on your finger.

You want to feel special, and you deserve to stand out! The beauty of silicone rings is how personal and customizable they can be! At Enso Rings, not only do you have hundreds of rings to choose from, but there are customizable options to make your ring even more unique.

Whether you love bold contrasts like red and black or prefer softer combinations like blue and pink, rings from the DualTone collection let you mix and match to fit your personality.

Beveled Rings

A beveled ring offers both style and comfort, thanks to its gently sloped edges and soft-touch finish. These subtle design details make the ring feel even smoother against your skin, perfect for all-day wear. Like all silicone rings at Enso Rings, beveled designs come in a wide range of colors, so you can find the perfect shade to match your personality.

You can also add a personal touch with special engravings—from meaningful dates to custom messages—making your beveled ring as unique as your story. Comfort, style, and personalization all come together in this versatile option.

Birthstone Rings

Instead of a traditional jeweled metal ring to represent your or your child’s birth month, why not try a silicone birthstone ring? Each ring is designed in a color inspired by your birthstone, from deep garnet red for January to stunning sapphire blue for September.

Whether you’re celebrating your birthday or choosing a thoughtful gift for someone special, silicone rings in birthstone colors combine meaningful symbolism with a practical, easy-to-wear design perfect for everyday life.

Etched Rings

With etched rings, you can add a whole new level of personality to your silicone rings. These rings feature intricate designs laser-etched into the silicone, creating stunning patterns and textures that stand out. From delicate floral designs to bold scales, sleek lines, and mesmerizing swirls, there’s something for every taste and style.

Style Tip: Make it even more meaningful by choosing a set of thin stackable rings. Choose one to represent each of your kids, pets, or even siblings. 

How to Choose the Right Ring Size

Finding your size for a silicone ring isn’t much different than sizing for a standard ring. The main difference is that Enso rings only come in whole sizes, not halves.

The perfect ring fit should slide on and off your finger with just a little resistance so it will stay put. However, it shouldn’t be so tight that it makes your finger swell up around the ring or change color.

How to Find Your Size

Finding your silicone ring size is easier than you may think. There are four ways to find your size with simple materials at home:

  1. Use a flexible tape measure and wrap it around your finger.

  2. Wrap a ribbon or string around your finger and mark where the ends meet. Then, lay it down next to a ruler to determine your finger circumference.

  3. Measure the inside of a ring that already fits you perfectly.

  4. If you want some precise help, we have a printable ring guide to help you find the perfect measurement.
