Maybe you’ve heard about silicone rings. Maybe you’ve seen others wearing silicone rings as alternative wedding bands. Maybe you’ve been thinking about making the jump from traditional to trendy yourself. If you find that you’re caught in a revolving door of weighing pros and cons surrounding silicone rings, here are our tell-tale signs that you’re ready to make the switch to silicone. You have an active lifestyle. If you’re always on-the-move with an active lifestyle, whether you play sports or enjoy doing outdoor activities in your spare time, a silicone ring is the best choice. These athletic rings offer the flexibility and breathability you need, being comfortable to wear no matter how much you’re moving and sweating. And, as a bonus, they’re easy to maintain! You have a manually intensive job. Do you have a physically demanding job that requires you to work with your hands every day? If so, metal wedding bands can be dangerous if they get caught or snagged on an object or piece of machinery on the job. From chefs and construction workers to military personnel and first-aid responders, silicone rings are a safer option than traditional metal rings since they are heat resistant, non-conductive and are designed to break away when placed under extreme stress. You’re a healthcare professional. Our high-quality silicone rings are made from 100 percent medical-grade silicone to provide reliable durability even when exposed to harsh chemicals and conditions, making them an ideal ring choice for any healthcare professional who wears gloves on the job, such as surgeons, lab workers, nurses and others. You've damaged your metal ring(s). Damagedwedding bands are no fun. Not only is your spouse very likely upset, but your ring may also be ill-fitting, making you kind-of cranky too. The repair process for traditional metal rings can be costly and time-consuming. Our suggestion? Take this frustrating (but not uncommon) event as a sign. It’s an opportunity to make the jump to silicone rings. And unlike your metal rings, a QALO will never be bent or stretched out of shape, have loose prongs, or snag on a sweater.

Or do you have a busy life where you are likely to take off your rings to get through the day? If your wedding band or favorite ring is on the lamb, consider replacing it with a silicone ring. We imagine things at home are not very awesome if you’ve lost your traditional wedding ring. These rings are almost invaluable.

If you’ve got a lost ring, it’s time to switch to silicone. You don’t wear the rings that you have. This can happen for a variety of reasons. Maybe they’re now the wrong size for you and have become uncomfortable or, more likely — as mentioned above — your job or lifestyle isn’t friendly to metal rings.

Maybe the wedding band you chose decades ago just isn’t your style anymore.
