Silicone rings are all the rage. And you might wonder why people love them so much. Here are 5 reasons you should wear one. 1.) For Comfort They normally make your more traditional wedding ring from a more rigid material like gold or silver. This doesn’t give your finger a lot of room to breathe. However, a silicone ring is made from a more flexible material. This helps during the fluctuating temperatures each season. And, because of its rigidity, a traditional wedding ring can cause some mild discomfort when you’re thinking of doing anything active. No matter what you do, or how hot or cold temperatures get, your CORE ring will fit comfortably, and it won’t just fall off. 2.) Because of Safety Since we touched on being active… We know traditional wedding rings aren’t flexible. And, if you’re like the millions of other men and women who do a lot of work with their hands or work in a more dangerous situation, a traditional wedding ring becomes a little more dangerous, and they can cause an injury known as a “ring avulsion.” Sure, you can opt to not wear a ring, but your wedding ring is a statement of your commitment to your loved one which you want to wear with pride. Wearing a silicone ring is a safer way to show your undying love to your loved one, whilst keeping your finger safe when working with your hands. 3. Because They Are Versatile Silicone rings can go anywhere. Your traditional wedding ring might not. Because it’s more precious, you’ll most likely take off your ring when you go to the gym, for instance. You risk losing it or damaging it, which is something you might not want to do. CORE Rings can go anywhere. Need to go from the office to the gym? No problem. They’re durable enough to take you through your day with no issues at all. 4. They Look Stylish Since they work hard, CORE Rings look good, as well. The stylish designs and exceptional colours make them stand out, and they become a non-traditional way of showing your commitment to the love of your life. Sure, your more traditional wedding ring might dazzle, but a CORE silicone ring is a safe and very stylish alternative to showing your commitment. 5. You Can Replace Them A traditional wedding ring has a ton of sentimental value attached to it. If your ring gets lost, stolen, or damaged, you can have the ring replaced, just not the sentimental value–or even your significant other. Likewise, your fingers. As we’ve mentioned before, an accident can cause a serious ring avulsion injury. A CORE silicone ring gives you a way of showing your commitment while keeping your wedding band and your fingers safe. Wearing a silicone ring as an alternative to your own wedding band not only helps protect your priceless and irreplaceable wedding ring, you’ll be wearing a ring that’s made to withstand anything and everything life will throw at you.

Exchanging wedding rings. A tradition dating back many centuries, with the symbolism of wearing them become commonplace in many cultures around the globe. But, where exactly did this tradition come from and what did it mean?   The Wedding Rings Exchanged To find the first instance of what we refer to as the exchange of wedding rings, we need to shift our attention to ancient Egyptian scrolls dating back over 3000 years ago. In these scrolls, they show couples exchanging rings that were braided from hemp or reeds. Naturally, they were quite fragile. However, sturdier rings made from leather, bone, or even ivory were offered instead of their more delicate counterparts. The worth of the ring determined the amount of love being shown–a more expensive ring was worth more and illustrated greater love between the couple. Historians have also discovered that the belief was that these rings were a symbol of the couple’s infinite love and commitment between one another and that the circular shape of the ring shows no beginning or end to their love, with the open centre symbolising the doorway to the couple’s future together.   Wedding Rings: When In Rome… Shifting our focus from Egypt to Rome, where we can find a similar custom. Following a similar tradition, the groom would present his bride with an iron ring. Because of the iron ring’s durability, it, therefore, showcased the strength and permanence of the marriage between the bride and groom. Historians also believed that the Romans were the first civilization to engrave the rings, too. Now, since we’ve covered where this tradition originated from, we now have to ask: why was the ring placed on the fourth finger. This comes from both the Romans and the Greek civilizations. They believed this finger contained the vein of love and therefore placing it on the fourth finger on the left hand becomes a symbol of love between a couple. This is only one theory, though. Another theory points us to the Christian marriage ceremony. While reciting the binding prayer, the minister would touch the thumb, forefinger, and middle finger of the bride and groom’s left hand. As the word “Amen” was then spoken, they would place a wedding band on the fourth finger, which sealed the union. In many European countries, couples can be seen wearing their wedding bands on their right hand, however, many believe that the left hand was chosen upon which to wear their ring as many people are right-handed, reducing the amount of damage the wedding rings would receive.   The Renaissance Period Let’s shift focus to the 16th and 17th centuries. Tracking the history of the wedding ring, it was a custom for couples to wear gimmal rings. These were rings that were made of two parts that fit together to make one larger ring. During their engagement, the bride and groom would each wear one part of the ring. During the wedding ceremony, the groom would unite his part of the ring with the bride’s, uniting the set. It was also during the Renaissance they introduced when more ornate silver rings. In Colonial America, however, the husband-to-be would give his future wife a thimble. Not the most romantic of gestures by today’s standards, however, during this period, jewellery was as frivolous. Making do with the thimble, women would remove the top section, creating a ring. In many religions and cultures, it is commonplace to exchange other gifts besides the wedding ring. Gifts included the Hindu bichiya toe ring and the iron bangle of West Bengal.   Today, however… … this symbolism persists, still. Through many cultures whose tradition saw that only women would wear a wedding ring, to during World War II where soldiers would wear their rings as a sign of commitment and as a reminder to their wives while stationed overseas. And, through the years, with the rising popularity of wedding rings, diverse rings and styles were created from materials like gold, silver, and platinum. Today, more durable rings made from medical grade silicone exist. They are made for men and women with more active lifestyles. And, with their contemporary designs serving both form and function, they’ve become a popular way for couples to showcase their undying love and commitment towards one another.

Silicone rings are gaining in popularity because of their benefits over traditional metal rings, as well as their flexibility and durability in the long run. However, since they purchased most online, this means that you need to know what size ring you normally wear before making your order. Luckily it’s easy to figure out your ring size by understanding HOW to measure. Using A Sizing Chart The easiest and most readily available form of measurement is the use of a sizing chart. Following the instructions on our own sizing chart page, it can help you measure the diameter of the finger you want to wear the ring upon to get the correct size. How Silicone Rings Fit Traditional rings and silicone rings fit differently. The former is a solid piece of jewellery, whereas the latter is a lot more flexible. This means that you’re likely to find more ring sizes when you buy a traditional ring – more sizes equal to a better fit for a wider range of individuals. Made from silicone, this material gives the rings the ability to bend and be more flexible. Let’s say you bought a brand new silicone ring that you’re wearing for the very first time. At first, it will feel very snug, but that’s normal. Over time, your silicone ring will stretch to conform to your finger’s natural form.   The sizes in between But, what if your ring’s measurement falls in between two sizes? Since a traditional ring is much more rigid, the wiggle room is minimal – there are no half measures here. A silicone ring is different. Again, since they are flexible, a slightly smaller sized ring will stretch over time, as it adjusts to your finger’s size. In case your ring size falls on a half-size, it’s best to choose a ring size that’s one below. Getting the size just right Despite their flexibility and what to do with half-sizes, it’s still very important to find the right size. A ring size that’s too small or too big will not conform to your finger’s size. In short, it just won’t fit. It could be uncomfortable to wear daily. To ensure a perfect fit, as well as ensuring your comfort, go for a ring size that’s just right.   Sizing At No Risk If all this seems too overwhelming, and if all the abovementioned options for finding your right size fail you, if you were to choose the wrong size, we’ll help you exchange your silicone ring for one that’s a perfect fit for you.

Misplacing or damaging your traditional metal ring, especially one that has sentimental value, can be demoralizing. But, many individuals and couples are slowly making the move towards a more long-lasting option instead: silicone rings. Made with longevity and a myriad of active lifestyles in mind, silicone rings are fast becoming a trend with their impressive list of advantages over a more traditional metal ring. And, if you’ve ever been curious about them, but you’ve been on the fence about whether you should invest in a silicone ring, here’s a handy list of 5 advantages that silicone rings have over their more-traditional counterparts. 1. They Can Withstand the Elements Made from medical grade silicone, silicone rings are flexible as well as more resistant to water and extreme temperatures. This is especially useful when you’re on the field or at work as they won’t move around your finger like your traditional metal rings when coming into contact with moisture. And, since they’re not made from metal, silicone rings won’t as easily conduct electricity, either. 2. Durability Let’s say you work in a dangerous area or you have an active lifestyle where you enjoy rock climbing or mountain biking. Wearing a traditional ring in any of these scenarios can be dangerous as your ring could cause a ring avulsion injury because your traditional metal ring is more rigid and offers no form of elasticity. Silicone rings offer this elasticity. Being able to withstand 16kg of force and being able to stretch up to three times their own size, silicone rings won’t hold your fingers hostage in an accident at work or outdoors. This durability makes them a lot safer to wear. 3. Affordability A traditional metal ring, especially a wedding ring, carries with it a lot of sentimental value. This makes it almost irreplaceable. But losing it or breaking it can be a heart-wrenching loss that isn’t cheap to replace. With a silicone ring, replacement is easy and it won’t break the bank either. And, should your ring break or tear while still under warranty, you could have it replaced as well. 4. Comfort A traditional metal ring, although beautiful to look at, can sometimes cause some discomfort when wearing it for long periods of time. This is especially true when you are engaged in a task. Silicone rings are made for comfort. Since they’ve been moulded to fit comfortably around your finger, they won’t hurt your fingers when you’re tackling an adventure or when you’re engaged in a task. Once you wear it, you’ll soon forget about it, that’s how comfortable they are. 5. Make it Your Own Silicone rings offer you a myriad of colours, sizes, and styles to choose from, so you’re not completely stuck with a generic style silicone ring. If you were to buy one to celebrate a special occasion, you can customise your rings with a special message by having it engraved as well.   Now, we’re not saying that you should ditch your traditional metal ring altogether. Setting it aside in a safe place and using a more affordable and more durable silicone ring instead of a metal ring is a great way to preserve the sentimental value of your ring and to keep it looking good and pristine for decades to come. And, if you’re looking to invest in your own silicone rings, look no further than our own stunning range of Pro, Bulk, and Lean silicone rings.

We all know that your silicone ring fits best with your active lifestyle. However, there are many other uses for your CORE silicone rings that you may not have considered before. To be clear, though, these are just a handful of uses and there are most likely much more available. 1.) During a round of golf. Because silicone rings are more elastic than your more traditional metal rings, they won’t feel as cumbersome or as bulky when you’re aiming for that perfect swing. 2.) As a firefighter. If you’re on the front lines as a firefighter, your focus is most likely on dealing with the dangerous situations at hand. A silicone ring is therefore the perfect fit for firefighters. 3.) As a horse rider. A tight hold on the reigns can become a painful experience over time, especially if you’re wearing a traditional metal ring. Silicone rings are softer and more comfortable, meaning they won’t eat into your hands and fingers as much as a metal ring will. 4.) As a mechanic. There are many hazards when working as a mechanic, especially if you’re wearing a traditional metal ring. The risk of injury is astronomical, which makes wearing a silicone ring a brilliant choice for auto mechanics across all disciplines. 5.) As a medical professional. Working in the medical field, wearing a metal ring is simply not an option, and many doctors and nursing staff do not wear any rings at all. Silicone rings are hygienic and since they aren’t as obtrusive as a metal ring, they are a popular choice among many medical professionals. 6.) As a professional surfer. This encompasses a large group of individuals, like a swimmer, too, but staying in water for too long causes your fingers to become “pruney” making your fingers shrink a little. This can cause you to lose your metal ring. This is where a silicone ring’s elasticity helps prevent the loss of your ring greatly, making them a great alternative for the men and women who frequent water sports more readily than others would. Although this list covers a good amount of use-cases, it’s not the only areas where you can use our silicone rings. Regardless, investing in an excellent quality silicone ring is always a great idea.
