The Best Silicone Rings of 2024

The QALO Women’s Stackables ($14) wins top awards for durability and versatility. We’ve worn our QALO ring through all manner of outdoor activities and haven’t had any issues with the medical-grade silicone stretching or breaking. And we like that there’s a huge selection of color options and styles available. The QALO offers a more traditional ring style with the modern comfort, durability, and safety offered by silicone, and at just under 15 dollars, does it with tremendous value. 

Over the years, we’ve found some of the other unisex designs to be a bit too thick and uncomfortable, so we doubled down and ordered a selection of Women’s Stackables for testing to round out this review. While wearing, we found the ring to fit a bit more comfortably than the one-ring-fits-most options and the braided style we tested was likable and better suited for smaller fingers at 3.3mm wide and 2.5mm thick.

QALO even offers a “build your own stack” feature that allows you to mix and match textures, widths, and colors together, so true ring enthusiasts can mix up their look on a day-to-day and outfit-to-outfit basis.

We also quite like the ThunderFit Stackable options for women, so consider these as well when seeking out a women’s silicone ring. You get a good number more rings for the price, but we felt the quality was a bit below the QALO versions. The tradeoff could be worth it for those looking for many options, however.

Be sure to check out other offerings from QALO — there are a ton to choose from. From etched designs to tie-dye patterns and reversible rings, there’s something for everyone. You can even customize certain rings with personalized engraved text. For comfort, versatility, and style, QALO offers some of the best silicone rings on the market today.

ROQ ($7-17) offers up an unbeatable bargain paired with impressive durability. We’ve worn a single ROQ ring for 6 months straight. This includes plenty of time spent splitting firewood and lifting weights, in addition to daily activities like showering, cooking, and washing hands frequently. And the ROQ ring fits just as well as it did on day one.

ROQ sells almost all of its rings in packs of 4 or 7 rings, with a variety of patterns and colors available in those packs, meaning you get an out-sized value for your money. They have a variety of colors and styles, including a few with a shimmery finish and several stackable options.

We’ve also found the customer support from ROQ to be top-tier, with a quick exchange for a different size being prompt and easy to manage (we even got to keep the slightly-too-big rings). This type of ‘don’t sweat it’ quality makes purchasing something you can’t try on first easy, and we really appreciated it from a consumer standpoint.

We have noticed that the ROQ rings that incorporate some type of breathable cut-outs don’t quite pass air as freely as some, like the Egnaro Inner Arc or Groove Life Zeus, but honestly, no silicone ring is exceptional at this, and its a small quibble.

The 365-day money-back guarantee also isn’t quite the best out there (we’re still blown away by the 94-year offering by Groove Life), but that’s the trade-off for a budget ring. Even still, we’re confident that these ROQ rings are easily the best budget options available.

Looking for a ring that won’t wear out or break too easily? Then you need to check out the Groove Life Zeus Step Ring ($55). The Zeus comes packaged in a nice metal tin, which gives the ring a definite air of superiority, much like the mythical Greek god of its namesake. 

One of the big claims about this ring is its internal anti-stretch plastic ring, which might be a plus if you are frequently getting it caught up on things, but we also wonder if the claimed 32-pound breaking point isn’t affected by the anti-stretch feature. The whole point is to break the ring before damaging your finger, after all. Time will tell. 

Another high point with the Zeus is the fine-pore structure of the silicone used. Some lesser rings are liable to stain, and even when knuckle-deep in used motor oil to fish out a dropped drain plug, we found that this ring just doesn’t soak up anything.

Comfort-wise, we’ve been very impressed as well. The inside has an etched groove design meant to increase airflow, and while we can’t claim that it works better than other rings, we will say these are some of the most comfortable we’ve worn.

And best of all, they have a lifetime warranty. As its website states, “If your Groove Life product stretches, breaks, gets lost or eaten by a fish (sorry, excludes belts), our professional customer service individuals will send you a replacement.” This is up there with brands like QALO and Enso, and it’s nice to know this is a one-and-done purchase.

We’ve seen some wear and tear (literally) after years of wearing a Zeus Step ring, and the brand was prompt to respond and honor its impressive warranty. If you try one on and like it, you’ve got one of the toughest silicone rings for life. For a pretty similar ring (that is also offered in a few smaller sizes), also consider the Ridge Silicone Ring — a slightly more expensive option, but you get two rings for the price.

The Egnaro Inner Arc Ring ($26) is a stylish and durable ring with a comfortable, breathable fit and a price point that offers great value. Egnaro claims that their design, with a 33.8-degree bevel on the inside of the ring, optimizes comfort by putting a minimal section of the ring in contact with your finger, which helps to avoid water, sweat, and dust buildup between the ring and your skin. We’d have to agree — this ring is certainly comfortable.  

Additionally, Egnaro offers the Inner Arc in a two-tone color scheme, which gives it an edge in the style department and helps it stand out from its competition. Like Knot Theory, Egnaro offers a guarantee for fit, but if you break this ring, you’ll have to shell out for a replacement. More established brands like Groove Life and QALO offer lifetime warranties, so it’s something to consider.

Egnaro claims the tensile strength of this ring is approximately 20-foot-pounds, and that’s about where we were able to snap it as well. It’s always nice when things do what they claim. This puts it squarely among the pack of other silicone rings, and we’d expect it to do its job well if push came to shove.

We liked this ring, and it scored high on comfort and style and feels lightweight and durable on your finger. If you are looking for a no-frills ring with high breathability and a solid price point, it’s well worth considering the Inner Arc Ring. The Groove Life Zeus might also interest you if the style appeals to you but you want a slightly tougher ring (at a higher price).

In the interest of thoroughness, we ordered a small selection of ThunderFit women’s rings for this review in order to keep things rounded out for a variety of folks with a variety of finger sizes. At $12 for a seven-pack of rings in a variety of colors, the Stackable & Thin Rings from ThunderFit offer great value with the option of customizing your own personal stack. We found these rings to fit well and liked the options available. 

Not only are stackable rings thinner than typical silicone rings, but they come in a huge variety of textures and colors, meaning you’ll be able to mix and match depending on the style you’re going for. These rings are also available down to a size 3.5, meaning they can even fit kiddos.

Like the men’s ring, these rings are made of hypoallergenic silicone and are designed to break away at approximately 40 pounds of pressure. Because of their thin diameter, durability is definitely a concern, but at $12, we still feel that these rings offer a good value.

If you are looking for a smaller-size ring or the option to choose your own stack of rings, the Stackable & Thin Rings are a great option. We also liked the QALO Women’s Stackable Braid as another stackable option, but the price per ring value certainly goes to ThunderFit. However, the single warranty replacement you’ll get with the QALO might be worth it.

Made to be used and abused, the Ridge Silicone Ring Set ($65) offers up a different way in the world of silicone rings by pairing a set together in your purchase, meaning you’ve got options on the day-to-day.

Available in 5 different color schemes (which, might we add, are très chic — Alpine Navy or Basecamp Orange, anyone?), these rings can be split up by your use, meaning relegating one to the gym and potentially using the Royal Black band included in each set for something more dressed-up. It’s this aspect that helps make sense of that $65 price tag, which is on the higher end when it comes to silicone rings.

The included travel case is reminiscent of a miniaturized Pelican case and even sports foam cut-outs to secure your rubber jewelry safely inside. More than anything, we just appreciated having a dedicated place to stash these rings, as they otherwise can be bound into the terra incognita beneath our dressers. This case also stashes your unique warranty card, which you can register for easy replacement down the line. Slick.

And speaking of warranty, it’s top-notch on the Ridge rings, with two no-nonsense replacements rolled into your purchase (honestly, the best we’ve seen). Yet another reason to spring for the Ridge Silicone Ring Set — you’ll be set for pretty much forever.

That said, this is one of the more expensive options we’ve tested, and $65 for a few pieces of silicone might be more than most want to spend. For a quality single-ring option, we recommend the Groove Life Nomad ($35).

The 5 color schemes are certainly one of the more limited selections, but even so, we feel the spread covers most folks — there are just no wild patterns or designs here. If those colors work for you, though, the Ridge rings can be a great way to go.

Looking for a lightweight, breathable, and stylish silicone ring with the option to customize it? Look no further than the Silicone Rings from Knot Theory. At just under $33, this was one of the rings we most frequently found ourselves circling back to in the testing rotation. As generally outdoor-oriented people, the mountains on the ring we tested added a nice touch and an extra bit of sleeper style. 

The ring breathes well, doesn’t attract much dirt or dust, and feels lightweight and comfortable on the finger. There’s a minimal amount of stretch in this ring, which leads us to think it’ll stand the test of time. Unfortunately, Knot Theory’s warranty is not as good as some other rings on this list. While they do offer a perfect fit guarantee, if you break your Knot Theory ring, you’ll be on the hook for its replacement. 

The patterns offered up for the Knot Theory rings are fairly simple, but many do incorporate metallic finishes to make them pop. The custom options on the Knot Theory rings are where they stand out, and you can get both custom engraving done in the interior of the ring (for an added $12) as well as gold or silver ink inlay in the exterior engraved patterns. This helps make up for the more limited pattern options.

Comparatively, even our top-pick Groove Life rings only allow you to engrave your initials (where you get 22 characters with the Knot Theory rings), so if tuning up your own ring is important to you, keep this in mind.

We still think the price is a bargain for keeping your finger safe and in one piece, and while we recommend the Groove Life Nomad more often (due to the wider variety of patterns and designs), those who want a highly customizable ring would be well served here.

Enso Elements Classic ($40) wins for design and realistic precious metal options. Unfortunately, long-term durability concerns — and a rough warranty process — keep it from being our overall favorite silicone ring.

First, the good: these rings actually look like real metal rings. People are always shocked to find out they’re made of silicone. The shape mimics a traditional ring, and the metallic finish is quite realistic (especially the copper and rose gold) due to the infusion of mineral dust they receive. It also breathes well and is exceedingly comfortable.

Unfortunately, we’ve had issues with stretching. After a few months of daily use, it stretches out and no longer fits. Several have been lost while swimming due to a stretched fit. And some of us with larger hands faced issues with the ring tearing.

Enso does offer a lifetime warranty. It states that its warranty “covers rips, breaks, tears, and discoloration. Your first warranty is completely on us. Each additional replacement will just have a fee for shipping and handling.” Unfortunately, we found the brand wants $5 to ship your warranty ring, which can seem a bit silly for a thing that weighs a few grams.

Of all the silicone ring brands on the market, Enso offers the biggest range of novelty designs. Enso’s niche collections include Star Wars, Lilo & Stitch, Pixar, and more. If you want a realistic-looking ring and don’t mind phoning in for the occasional replacement, Enso offers some pretty enjoyable patterns.

The QALO Metallics collection is another favorite of ours when it comes to metal-looking silicone rings, which can very often be found for $10 less than Enso rings.

The ThunderFit Breathable Men’s Ring ($10) offers up an array of colors for men and women. They all clock in at just under $10 and come in a wide range of colors and sizes. One of the nice things about these rings in particular is the option of half sizes to ensure optimal fit. 

We did break this ring on purpose to ensure that it would break away in the event of getting caught. We’re happy to report a satisfactory breakaway point, and while we can’t confirm the exact foot-pound breaking point, we’re confident that the only time the ring would actually break is in a more serious situation before damaging a finger. 

All of ThunderFit’s rings are made with hypoallergenic silicone that is built to break away at 43 pounds of pressure. We found them smooth and comfortable through all manner of activities. These rings did seem to attract more lint than some other brands, which was slightly annoying.

The breathability on these rings is also notable, on par with the Egnaro Inner Arc rings we tested. This is a nice touch if you plan on wearing the ring inside gloves often.

The durability was okay, but we found these wore out more quickly than similar-size QALO rings. All in all, they’re a great bargain and a solid choice. If you don’t mind replacing them more regularly, this could be the best silicone ring for your needs.

SafeRingz ($25-33) silicone rings are made in the USA and come in three widths: the 3mm Stackable, 6mm Original, and 9mm Titan. There are 11 colors available, all with a slight shimmer to mimic a traditional metal ring. There’s also an option for custom engraving (with even more options than the Knot Theory rings), so you can make it unique with initials or an homage to your favorite mountain or sports team.

All in all, we found SafeRingz comfortable and long-lasting, but they didn’t stand out in any one category. They don’t offer up the extreme durability and versatility of our top pick, nor are they the best budget option. And the metallic options aren’t as realistic as others (like the Enso Rings).

It’s also worth noting that “YESJ” is inscribed on the inside of each SafeRingz. As its website explains, it is “a representation of our team saying ‘YES Jesus’.” If that’s not your cup of tea, this probably isn’t the style for you. If your beliefs align, however, it might be the best silicone ring option for you and your partner.
