As you and your spouse make the transition from engaged to married, you might have started to think about the wedding rings you will wear. If you’ve never thought you could wear matching wedding rings, think again. We’re here to tell you that silicone rings are the perfect way to match your bands! Here’s why silicone makes for the perfect matching rings for couples. Wedding Rings Mean Commitment Wedding rings have historically meant many things. In fact, it wasn’t until the early 20th century that the engagement ring was popularized, but couples have been showing their commitment to each other long before the marketing campaigns of modern-day jewelry companies. From ancient Egyptian “rings of love” to the posy rings of the Middle Ages, rings have long been used as a symbol of commitment and eternity between partners. Rings have also been used to signify other milestones, such as birthdays, graduations and even death. Discover Our Silicone Wedding Rings for Women Because wedding rings hold such such symbolism, it’s important that you and your partner wear rings that reflect your love for each other. A set of matching wedding bands is perfect for that! Here at QALO, we pride ourselves on offering men’s and women’s options for many of our band designs. Our wedding bands for women are known to be comfortable and durable and even look great for a night out on the town. Many women will even opt for our stackable rings, where they can easily wear multiple rings of different shapes, colors and textures to mark different relationship milestones. Matching Rings Will Make Others Smile Sure, your rings are for you and your partner. But there’s just something about watching someone else’s facial expression when they see that you’re wearing a ring that matches the one your spouse is wearing too. If you’re the kind of person who likes to see others’ reactions, then matching rings are perfect for you and your spouse. Your friends and family will gush over how cute it is that you and your partner are wearing matching rings. Because they’ll be silicone, you can wear them while working out, hiking or even traveling together. Metal Bands Don’t Often Lend to Matching Many couples find that their metal bands don’t match well. Men tend to opt for the darker shades, while women tend to go for diamonds or unique metals. With silicone bands, you both can order a variety of colors and styles that suit your personalities or have a simple set engraved with your last name or anniversary date. Silicone bands offer many more matching opportunities than metal bands, making them perfect for couples who want to wear matching bands. And, before you ask, yes, we do make men’s wedding bands in a rose gold metallic finish, which is perfect for couples who want the traditional look of metal bands but want the durability of silicone. Browse Our Silicone Wedding Rings for Men What Are the Benefits of Silicone? Silicone has many benefits. Here are some of our favorites: Durability: Because silicone is derived from the naturally occurring silicon element, it’s got a lot of durable qualities. There’s a reason it’s used in everything from computer hard drives to bakeware and even tires! The fact that you can wear it on your finger is just an added bonus. Cost-efficiency: Silicone is much more affordable than precious metals. Where you might spend hundreds (if not thousands) on metal wedding rings, a silicone band will cost you less than $100. This is perfect for couples who are on a budget but still want rings that are as strong as their relationship. Maintenance: Silicone rings are easy to maintain. While metal rings often require you to use special cleaning solutions and tools, silicone rings don’t. Simply put it in the utensils section of your dishwasher or soak it in warm, soapy water for a bit to clean off any residue. The low-maintenance part of silicone rings is just one of the many benefits of choosing silicone over metal. Is Silicone Safe to Wear? The answer to this question is simple — absolutely! Silicone doesn’t often cause an allergic reaction in people. Instead, many people wear a ring that’s incorrectly sized or wear a silicone ring that’s filled with latex or other harmful fillers. In fact, latex is a common allergy for people to have, so it makes sense that more people would think they have a silicone allergy when they really have a latex one instead. We make our rings from the best silicone around, free of any latex fillers, so you shouldn’t have an allergic reaction.
