There are a number of factors that may go into your selection of any ring, whether for wedding/engagement or any other purpose, and one of these factors for many people is the common settings in which these rings will be worn. There are many people for whom traditional metal rings will be fine in some situations, but not in others -- and in these cases, silicone rings often serve as great alternatives. 

At Enso Rings, we're proud to offer a huge selection of silicone rings, from wedding and engagement options through many other styles -- even including kids rings like our Star Wars and Disney ring collections. What are some of the most common settings or places where silicone rings are worn, and why are they so valuable to those who are in these settings often? Here's a basic primer.

On Vacations or Trips

For many trips abroad where you'll be doing lots of traveling and staying in various hotel rooms or other places, it can be a good idea to ditch your metal rings. Not only do you have to worry about losing them more easily in these situations, but there's also the potential for damage as you're constantly on the go -- and all that activity can really take a toll.

A silicone ring is much easier to take care of in these situations, and you don't have to worry about losing it as easily either. You can wear it in the pool, on the beach, or even while you're hiking or doing other activities where a metal ring might get bent out of shape or otherwise damaged.

And in the extremely rare case where your ring does happen to get lost, it's not nearly as devastating as losing an expensive metal ring would be. This is because silicone rings come at a fraction of the cost, so you can replace them easily and not have to worry about a huge financial loss.

During Outdoor Activities

Many of us love to spend time outdoors, whether it's hiking, running, playing sports, or just working in the yard. But if you're someone who spends a lot of time outdoors, you know that a metal ring can sometimes become a real nuisance.

For example, when you're doing yard work and your fingers are constantly in contact with dirt, water, and other materials, it can be tough to keep a metal ring clean. And if you're playing sports, there's always the potential for your ring to get hit and damaged -- or even lost if it comes off your finger.

Again, silicone rings offer a great solution for people who spend lots of time outdoors. They're much easier to keep clean, and they're also much more durable and less likely to be damaged in these situations. So if you love spending time outdoors, a silicone ring is definitely worth considering.

At Work

For many people, their job requires them to wear gloves or use their hands a lot -- and in these cases, metal rings can often get in the way. Gloves can be tough to get on and off with a metal ring, and if you're constantly using your hands, the ring can often become a nuisance.

Silicone rings are a great solution for people who need to wear gloves or use their hands a lot at work. They're easy to take on and off, and they won't get in the way or become a nuisance. And if you work in a job where there's a risk of your ring getting damaged or lost, a silicone ring is definitely the way to go.

At Appointments

Whether we're talking about a doctor's appointment, a massage, or any other type of appointment where you'll be taking off your clothes, a metal ring can often get in the way. It can be tough to take off and put back on with one hand, and it's always a risk that it could get lost or damaged while you're not wearing it.

With a silicone ring, on the other hand, you don't have to worry about any of these things. They're easy to take on and off, and they won't get in the way or become a nuisance. So if you have any type of appointment where you'll be taking your clothes off, a silicone ring is definitely the way to go.

In Less Official Settings

Finally, many people purchase silicone rings not just for one or two common settings, but for any situation where they don't feel the need to have their more expensive metal and stone ring on. This might include places like the gym, going for a run, doing household chores, or any number of other less formal situations. In these cases, a silicone ring is often the best choice because you don't have to worry about losing or damaging your more expensive rings.

In such cases, the silicone ring is really the "default" ring, if you will. It's the one worn more often, as it's more comfortable and convenient, and the more expensive ring is only brought out for special occasions. This is a great way to protect your more expensive rings while still getting plenty of use out of them.

So, these are just some of the common places and situations where silicone rings are worn. As you can see, they're a great choice for people who want an alternative to metal rings. If you're looking for a ring that you can wear in any situation, a silicone ring is definitely worth considering.
