Do silicone rings come in half sizes

do-silicone-rings-come-in-half-sizes

If you have tried out silicone rings measuring charts and sizing tools, and your ring size comes in between two sizes, or in half sizes, then you will obviously want to find a silicone ring that comes in 1/2 sizes.

The answer to your question is – silicone rings do not come in half sizes. However, there is a reason why they do not come in half sizes. Silicone is not like metal, which is absolute in its size. A typical silicone ring will adjust to your finger size and settle in over a period of time. The simple solution to someone whose finger size falls in between the sizes that a silicone ring brand offers, is to size down.

Go for the lower size and wear the silicone ring a for a few days. You will notice that the snug fit has now become a comfortable one. In case, even after a few days the silicone ring is still too tight, then you will need to wear one size larger.

You won’t need to buy new rings if your sizing goes wrong

If you are wondering if you will need to buy a second silicone ring, let us assure you that you will not need to. Almost all silicone rings come with the option of free returns if the size goes wrong. Whether you are buying premium branded silicone rings like Groove, Enso or Qalo, or more generic brands like Thunderfit, Kuaui and Roq, they all have a return policy if the ring does not fit.

With brands like Groove rings, the rings come with a 94 year guarantee, wherein they will replace your ring even if you lose it. With Enso rings too, the policy is simple, you have a lifetime warranty, that entitles you to a replacement ring if there is a defect, wrong sizing or any other problem with it.

As far as the actual returns go, we have ourselves got a completely new set of Groove rings sent to us without even returning the ones we purchased. We have also checked out innumerable reviews by buyers on Amazon, who have written that they have returned and got new rings for wrong sizes, again and again.

That is why the policy of sizing down and ordering your silicone rings, if you are in between sizes, is a very feasible one.

Silicone Ring Rash – Why it happens and how to prevent it

silicone-ring-rash

Silicone wedding rings are made from medical grade silicone that is hypoallergenic, and in almost 100% cases the silicone material does not cause the rashes. Most people are not allergic to silicone.

Why silicone rings cause rashes

If you have a rash because of wearing a silicone ring, in all probability, it is because of the silicone ring becoming dirty and bacteria build up on the inside of the ring. This is what causes your skin to break out in rashes. A factor that adds to the problem is silicone rings that are tight around your finger and not letting the skin breathe. This causes the area under the ring to become clammy. And as you all know humid, sweaty conditions are ideal for bacterial growth.

How to prevent it

The solution to this rash, is to clean your silicone ring thoroughly. The way to prevent it from happening again, is to regularly clean your silicone ring. Let me point out here, that this only happens to a few people and some people go for years wearing silicone rings, without any problems at all.

How to clean silicone rings

Silicone rings need a thorough cleaning, to rid them of dirt, sweat, grime and bacteria. This can be done very easily. You only need a few easily available items to do a deep clean of your silicone rings.

The simplest way is to clean the ring with soap and warm water. You just need to put the ring into warm soapy water and give it a good cleaning and scrubbing. If this does the trick, great, if not, then you want to try and clean it thoroughly, using vinegar and hydrogen peroxide.

The method of deep cleaning your silicone ring, is to take a half cup of vinegar and mix it with a quarter cup of hydrogen peroxide in a bowl. Now submerge the ring in this mixture for about 45 minutes, or if you want to do more, let it stay overnight. The hydrogen peroxide will kill the bacteria. After you have soaked it, take an old toothbrush and give a through brushing and scrubbing. If you want to go even further, then put the ring in water an boil it for about 20 minutes.

Tips to prevent ring rash from silicone rings

Here are a few simple tips.

  • If you are prone to the rash, then try not to wear the ring all the time. Take it off, when you know it is alright, like when you are going to sleep, or you are going to be at home all day.
  • Try not to get the silicone ring wet. Don’t wear it when you go for a shower or to the swimming pool.
  • Try not to let sweat get to the ring. While I write this tip, I am thinking that it kind of defeats the very purpose of wearing a silicone ring, if you can’t exercise or be active while wearing it. However, if the rash is troublesome, you should avoid wearing the ring if there is a chance of sweating, getting wet, dirty or grimy.

Hopefully doing all or some of this, helps you. However, if none of it works, we recommend that you consult a dermatologist, or if there is no other option, stop wearing the silicone wedding ring.

Can a rubber ring hold a marriage together? Definitely!

rubber-wedding-ring

If you are living under a rock, then welcome to the rubber wedding rings revolution. These aren’t just any kind of rubber rings, but silicone rings made from medical grade silicone and evolved to a very high degree of sophistication and design by leading brands like Groove Rings, Enos, Qalo and Thunderfit.

Silicone rubber wedding rings can hold a wedding together much better than traditional rings, if you both are into the active or outdoors life. And if either of you are in active service or your work requires your hands, or you are a firefighter, then if will keep you committed and protected too.

Rubber wedding rings are safe for anyone to wear, even if you are in active service, in the police force, the army, or are a firefighter, or work with your hands near machinery. These rings save you from terrible injury that can be inflicted on your finger in case of ring avulsion. This is the accident resulting from your metal ring getting snagged and ripping the skin and flesh off your finger because of the force with which it is yanked off.

These injuries can be so severe that you lose your finger. If you work with electricity then a metal ring is even more dangerous as it conducts electricity. That is where a rubber ring made from medical grade silicone comes in. These silicone rings are non conducting, hypoallergenic and break away in case they get snagged, saving your finger from any injury or harm.

With leading brands like Groove rings taking the silicone rings on to innovative new levels, you now get rings that are breathable and some that won’t stretch even if you do daily workouts or are into heavy exercising. Custom silic9one rings are also becoming very popular, which allow you to create a custom design for the ring or even engrave a name on it.

The kind of aesthetics that these rings are coming up with make them even more attractive than traditional metal rings with stones on them. Another great area where people prefer these rings, is in the outdoors or while doing any physical activity. Losing a traditional wedding ring means losing something of great value, usually in the thousands of dollars. A rubber wedding ring costs between a couple of dollars to a maximum of around 40 dollars.

That means if you do lose these silicone wedding rings, you can easily replace them. In fact, you can wear different rings with different clothing styles. Stackable silicone rings add another dimension of style for women.

We highly recommend that you try these out if you are even a little bit inconvenienced by metal rings. Say, the worry about losing your ring when you go for a swim, or the hassle of taking them off when you go into the gym. You can wear these rings all the time and they are so light and comfortable that you will forget that you are even wearing them.

Custom engagement rings – make it a special kind of special

custom-engagement-rings

Wanting to make a custom engagement ring means only one thing – you love your partner in a very special way and you want to really cherish the symbol of your union.

It is a wonderful thing to make a custom engagement ring to show your commitment to the special love in your life. You may have already looked into jewelry stores and online jewelry and somehow nothing quite made the cut. Well the way to go is to create your unique custom ring.

However, it isn’t very simple and straightforward to create a custom engagement ring unless of course you want to go in for custom silicone rings, which is actually as simple and choosing a design and ordering it online. Mind you, you should go in for this only if you are both have active lifestyles and are into exercising, outdoor activities and such that are not suited a traditional metal ring. You must be sure that she will appreciate the gesture of a silicone ring that prevents injury to the finger and is meant for people leading active and outdoorsy lives.  and Currently the two best brands for custom silicone rings are Groove and Enso.

Getting back to the traditional custom engagement rings that you are thinking about – here is a handy guide that will help you to create it the way you want it, within the budget you have decided and on time for your big event.

Keep more than enough time for the custom ring to be made

Making a custom ring means creating the ring from scratch. That means you will first take time to get to the right design, then you will take time to work with the actual artist on the design. Then you will choose the materials and finally the time it takes for the craftsman to create it. A quick glance at the process include – design consultation, sketched design, 3D computer rendering, design adjustments, actual creation of ring. Keep in mind that it takes 6 weeks or more for the custom ring to arrive once you have placed your order, so give the process enough time when you are planning for creating your custom engagement ring.

Fixing a budget beforehand is important

You should know beforehand that a custom designed ring costs more than a ring that you buy from a store. You need to have a budget in mind before you start the process. It is very easy to go overboard on the budget, since you will be choosing all the different things separately, like the various materials, the making cost, the design intricacies etc. Keep a budget cap and don’t take costs of different things separately, add them up and see the total cost, every time. Before deciding any part of the ring.

It is best to go to a jeweller who has been recommended by someone you trust

The jeweller you choose will have an impact on every single aspect of your custom ring. From the materials to the design, the time, the budget and more. When your jeweller is reputed and has a lot of experience, you will find that it all goes smoothly and you get what you want, when you want it. Choosing the wrong jeweller can really blow up I your face, if the jeweller’s mistakes leave you with no time to get the ring that you actually wanted.

You have to know her tastes, after all, it is for her

That special person in your life, she has her own tastes and her own style. There is way she likes to dress, there is a way she likes to present herself. The ring that you will design has to complement and enhance who she is. That means you need to know her tastes. The best way to do this is go ring shopping with her and get to know what she likes and doesn’t like. If you know her tastes well, then of course, you can go right ahead and create something that you know she will like.

However, if you are clueless, there are still a few options you can try out.

Start by paying closer attention to the jewellery she wears and her choice of metals and stones. Does she like subtle or bold, does she like classic or modern?

You can also ask her close family and friends for help. They will be able to guide you well.

Finally, if all else fails, then ask her directly for some suggestions, as along as she knows what is coming.

There is no harm in taking inspiration from something you have seen before

In fact, it makes thing a lot easier to have a ring as a reference point. If there is a ring which is somewhat like the one you want made, then by all means show it to the designer and also take all the inspiration you need from it. You don’t even need to restrict it to one ring. Zoom in one a few that you like and pick different aspects from each ring, that you would like in your custom made ring.

Eliminate styles, so you can move ahead faster

There are overall styles of engagement rings which you can narrow down right away. Check out the range of styles prevalent and pick the one or two that you want to stick to.

Ring styles range from solitaires, rings with side stones, a vintage look, three stone arrangement, a halo with a central stone and a circle around it, and others.

Pick the material after considering your budget and likes and dislikes

When you have decided on a traditional engagement ring, then the material choices are down to a few. Use your likes, her likes and your budget to choose on a metal. The most preferred options that you have are Yellow gold, Rose gold, White gold, Palladium and Platinum.

Finally choose the stone or stones you want in the ring

Most engagement rings have a large centre stone, and smaller stones around it. The most preferred options are diamond, amethyst, turquoise, sapphire, morganite, topaz. You can even think about making a combination of different stones, including her favorite kind of stone.

Keep these points in mind, and you will be able to create what you want to, and engagement ring that is custom designed for her, and that is extra special because you have put a part of yourself into it.
