The Ultimate Guide to Silicone Rings

Sick of your clunky and hard metal ring? Did you know that silicone rings are the new trend taking over? Silicone rings offer comfort, convenience, and safety that metal rings can’t give you. 

With all the colors, styles, and engravings available, there are hundreds of options on the market. You receive all the benefits of a metal ring and more. Learn all you need to know about silicone rings 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? 

Silicone rings boast seven distinct advantages that explain their surge in popularity.

1. Flexibility

Metal or plastic rings are firm and rigid with no give or stretch. This can become an issue if you are exercising or performing other jobs where your fingers are pinched or pressed against hard objects. 

A flexible silicone ring can adapt to your environment, making it easy to switch from calm activities to active ones without any worry about your ring.

2. Quality Materials

Silicone rings are far better than rubber or plastic ones. Silicone doesn't break down into microplastics and is non-toxic, 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 when you leave it in a hot car, it will quickly snap back to its original shape. 

You could wear the same silicone ring for months or even years. Enso is so sure about the durability of their rings that they offer a lifetime warranty. 

If your ring has any issues, simply send in a picture and get it 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 a silicone ring touches a live wire or another electrical source, it won’t conduct electricity and possibly harm you. 

6. More Comfortable

When you wear a silicone ring it naturally bends and moves as you do. It’s also lightweight, so you often forget it’s even on your finger. 

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 them.

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. 

2. Medical or Dental Professionals

If you’re a medical 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 which makes them perfect for medical or dental employees.

3. Blue Collar Workers

You may have to remove a metal band if you’re an electrician, plumber, mechanic, or construction worker. With a silicone ring, you can stay safe while still wearing a ring (and keep your spouse happy that you’ve kept your wedding band on).

4. Gym Enthusiasts or Athletes

If you’re a self-proclaimed gym rat 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’ve got kids, pets, or elders to care for, you need a flat, smooth, and soft ring so you don't accidentally scratch them. Silicone rings make it easy to wear jewelry while you care for others.

7. Cause Supporters

Want to rep a cause that you’re passionate about?  Silicone rings are a great way to show your support. Whether it’s Pride, Best Friends Animal Society, or Earth Day, you can show what cause you support simply by wearing a ring on your finger.

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 silicone rings only come in whole sizes, not halves. 

The perfect ring fit should slide on and off your finger with just a little bit of 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 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.
