Silicone rings are often touted for their comfort and durability, but they can also be incredibly stylish. While metal bands are limited in color, silicone can be made in shades across the spectrum. Silicone is also relatively easy to mold, meaning you don’t have to shell out an inordinate amount for engravings.
With so many options, how can you decide which style to buy? Here’s a quick guide to some of the trendiest designs we’ve seen on silicone rings.
Dual Tone
As the name implies, dual tone designs contain two colors, one for the inside of the band and one for the outside. This option goes extremely well with engravings, since you can have the text or image match the opposite color of the band. This creates a noticeable contrast that highlights the engraving for maximum effect. You can choose any two colors, giving you a chance to create a truly unique and meaningful ring.
Stackable
Stackable rings are all the rage in statement jewelry and silicone bands are the perfect option for anyone who wants to stay on-trend without sacrificing practicality. Just like traditional metal rings, stackable silicone bands come in many different styles:
- Hammered
- Pyramid
- Feather
- Column
- Studded
- Beaded
- Treaded
- Slanted brick
- Braided
With so many choices, you can easily mix and match styles and colors to coordinate with your outfit.
Infinity
One of the “classic” designs for silicone rings, Infinity bands sport an etching of two lines weaving in and out. The style symbolizes two lives intertwined for eternity, which is why it’s a popular choice for wedding bands. You can get a couple’s set in matching colors and even add an engraving on the inside for a sweet secret message.
Patterned
Find solid-color rings boring, even with an engraving? Then you should check out patterned bands.
Since silicone comes in so many colors, it’s the perfect medium for patterns. The opportunities are practically limitless:
- Polka dots
- Stripes
- Flowers
- Planets
- Abstract
- Holiday-themed
With an ink-printed pattern, you can express your interests fashionably and affordably.
Bevel
Sometimes the simplest designs are the most appealing. Bevel rings have polished edges, making them look more similar to traditional metal bands. If you’re a fan of metal’s appearance, but prefer silicone for its comfort and many safety benefits, you should consider the Bevel design.
Metallic
What if you want a silicone ring, but love the glint and gleam of metal? Fortunately, you don’t have to go without; silicone can easily be manufactured in a variety of metallic shades:
- Yellow gold
- Silver
- Bronze
- Rose gold
- Gunmetal gray
You can even opt for metallic shades that actual metals can’t offer, such as pearlescent white, teal and pink.
Ultra-Thin
If you have small fingers or regularly work with your hands, a thick band can seem clunky or obstructive. A great solution is an ultra-thin band. These are just as durable as the regular-sized rings, but are even more flexible and fit nicely on delicate fingers.
With so many style options, it’s no wonder that silicone rings are making such a big impact on fashion. If you’re tired of the limited designs offered by traditional metal, the world of silicone accessories is open for you to explore. We’re sure you’ll find a piece that truly speaks to you.
