The details.

For Kiwi blokes who spend time outdoors or working with their hands, a silicone ring makes more sense than metal in a lot of situations. This one is flexible, non-conductive, and designed to break safely if it catches on something. Available in 8mm — Made from quality medical-grade silicone. Waterproof, easy to clean, and comfortable enough to forget about. If you're pulling wire, handling stock, fishing, or doing anything where a solid ring is a hazard, this is the practical swap. Wear your metal band for special occasions, this one for everything else.

Caring for the navy flat-profile silicone

Navy holds colour better than lighter shades — sunscreen and pool chlorine still leave faint marks though. Wash with dish soap, dry properly to stop trapped moisture under the band, and rotate off overnight to let skin breathe.

Sizing notes for 8mm flat silicone

8mm flat sits broader on the finger than a domed band. Stick with your usual size — silicone forgives a half-size either way. The MRO NZ free home sizer covers it if you've never measured cold.

Navy silicone vs a black band

Navy reads slightly dressier than black under bright light — closer to a wedding band in tone. Black disappears into work clothes. For louder colour rotation see the rest of the silicone category.

Q: Will the navy fade in NZ sun?

A: Slowly, yes. A full summer outdoors plus pool chlorine will shift the tone a half-shade. At NZD $29 it's cheap to replace annually if colour matters.

Q: Safe for boatbuilding or marine work?

A: Yes — saltwater, marine adhesives and resin won't harm it. Rinse with fresh water and the navy stays sharp.

Q: Will it dye my finger?

A: Medical-grade silicone is colour-stable; no transfer in normal wear. If skin runs damp under the band for hours, a faint mark rinses off in the shower.

Caring for your Silicone ring

Wash your silicone ring with mild soap and water, rinse thoroughly and let the ring and your skin dry before putting it back on. Avoid solvents, excessive heat and prolonged direct sunlight.

Inspect the band for damage or stretching and replace it when needed. Silicone can tear, but a ring is not protective equipment and does not guarantee protection from injury. Follow your workplace rules and remove jewellery where the task requires it.

Common questions about Silicone rings

Are silicone rings safe for tradies and dairy farmers in NZ?

Silicone is flexible, but no ring is a safety device. Do not assume silicone is permitted wherever metal rings are banned. Follow your workplace rules and task-specific safety instructions, and remove jewellery where required. We do not claim a certified tear force or protection from ring-avulsion injuries.

How long does a silicone wedding ring last?

Lifespan varies with fit, wear and exposure to heat or chemicals. Check your ring regularly and replace it if it tears, stretches or becomes damaged.

Can I wear a silicone ring in the ocean or hot pools?

Rinse the ring after contact with saltwater or pool water, then dry it and your skin thoroughly. Avoid excessive heat and follow the rules of the activity or venue. We do not provide a certified temperature rating for these rings.

Will a silicone ring trigger a skin reaction?

Any ring can trap moisture or irritate skin. Keep the ring and your skin clean and dry, and stop wearing it if irritation occurs. Seek advice from a health professional if symptoms persist.

Considering alternatives?

For a lightweight metal option for everyday wear, explore titanium rings. Choose a ring for comfort and style, and follow workplace or activity rules about when to remove jewellery.
