Mechanics often don’t wear their wedding bands because metal bands can’t withstand the high temperatures, can easily tarnish or scratch when coming into contact with harsh chemicals and need to be cleaned at least once a month, especially if they include any diamonds. This can feel like a daunting task for many mechanics. Most barely have time to fix all the cars or machines they work on regularly, let alone keep track of a wedding band. So, many choose not to even wear one because of the hassle. But, what if we told you there was an alternative? Here are some of the best wedding bands for mechanics. Above All, Silicone Reigns Supreme While a band made of more durable metal might seem like the best solution, the reality is that metal isn’t great for mechanics or anyone who uses their hands for work frequently. Silicone remains the best alternative material for men’s wedding bands, hands down. Silicone rings have been around for awhile. While we’re often asked what are silicone rings, it’s important to note that silicone rings have been on the scene for many years, but they didn’t gain popularity until a few years ago. Now, thanks to new technology and companies like ours using only the best silicone ingredients when creating our products, silicone rings have become an overwhelmingly popular option for couples who need them. Stay Safe with a Silicone Ring Silicone is great for a variety of reasons. Here are some of our favorites: Durability: Our Q2X rings can withstand temperatures as high as 450* Fahrenheit. For mechanics, that number’s a huge deal! It means that they can weld and work throughout the day without worry that their ring will melt off. Our silicone rings don’t crack or split under pressure, either. They’re great to wear while hiking, swimming and even on a night out. Affordability: Silicone rings are much more affordable than metal ones. Where you might spend $100 on a metal wedding band, you can order a custom silicone ring for a little more than half that. While you can’t put a price on commitment, it’s nice to know that the money you save on wedding bands can go toward your house down payment or even an extended honeymoon. More Than Just Mechanics Mechanics aren’t the only ones who can benefit from wearing a silicone ring. Some others who frequently wear alternatives to metal bands include: Doctors Nurses Police Paramedics Military Personnel Personal Trainers Athletes Moms Lawyers Frequently travelers And more! Just because you don’t work in a mechanical position, it doesn’t mean you can’t wear a silicone ring. Silicone rings are for everyone, no matter who you are or what you do! Even if you already have a diamond engagement ring, you can wear a silicone ring as a wedding band. Alternatively, you can save your diamond engagement ring for special occasions and instead wear a silicone ring as an everyday piece. That way, your diamond stays pristine and you can still access all the benefits of wearing a silicone ring.
