While metal rings are traditional and timeless, there are a lot of reasons you’re looking at silicone wedding rings. Whether it’s because of your job or your budget, you can still find a silicone ring that looks like metal. Here are our favorites! Reasons to Get a Silicone Ring Before we dive into our favorite silicone rings that look like metal ones, let’s talk about why you should get a silicone ring. Durability: Silicone rings are more durable than metal ones. They withstand higher temperatures and they don’t have diamonds that could pop out and break. For those who work in jobs such as construction, mechanics or even as first responders, silicone rings are great daily alternatives to metal. Safety: With a silicone ring, you can avoid ring avulsion. There’s nothing more painful than not being able to remove a ring from your finger, and there’s nothing more heartbreaking than watching a medical professional cut your wedding band to remove it! With a silicone ring, you don’t have to worry about that. Also called degloving, ring avulsion is more than just your ring getting caught on your finger. Depending on the severity, you might even have to have your finger amputated. By getting a silicone ring, you can avoid the anxiety of ring avulsion. Learn About Ring Avulsion in Our Guide Affordability: Silicone rings are much more affordable than metal ones. In fact, you could save anywhere between hundreds to thousands of dollars just by using silicone instead of metal. With the money you save on rings, you can use it towards other aspects of your wedding, such as the catering or even the DJ. Some couples even choose to use their extra savings towards a longer honeymoon! Hypoallergenic: Many people are allergic to the materials used to make metal rings. However, silicone is a hypoallergenic material. This means you’re less likely to get that green ring around your finger or experience any redness, swelling or itchiness with a silicone ring! If you are experiencing any redness or swelling, it’s probably because your ring isn’t fitting properly. Be sure to use our handy ring size chart to ensure you get the correct ring size. Easy to clean: No more yearly ring inspections or monthly ring cleanings with chemicals tough on your skin. With a silicone ring, just pop it in the utensil holder of your dishwasher or hand wash it with soap and water to get it as good as new. Pair well with engagement rings: Many people have a metal engagement ring, but they are concerned that getting a silicone wedding band won’t look right with their diamond ring. That’s not true at all! In fact, many of our silicone rings are designed to pair well with your diamond engagement ring. With varying widths, patterns and colors, there’s a silicone ring for you.
