The fit was perfect using the measuring tool before ordering. Very happy with my purchase.
Lifetime Warranty for Titanium and Tungsten Rings.
The details.
Silicone rings are the sensible pick when you need something on your finger but can't risk a metal ring — farm work, fishing, rugby, the gym. This one is made from medical-grade silicone: it stretches, flexes, won't snag on machinery, and won't conduct electricity. Available in 8mm — Ring avulsion — where a metal ring catches and injures your hand — is a real risk in manual work. A silicone ring breaks away instead of taking your finger with it. Comfortable all day, easy to wash, and tough enough for whatever you get up to. Use it on the farm, save the metal ring for town.
Living with 8mm flat silicone
Medical-grade silicone shrugs off lanolin, diesel, fish slime, and gym sweat. Rinse under the tap, occasional dish soap. Don't leave it on the dashboard for weeks — UV slowly hardens silicone. Replace if it loses snap-back.
Sizing flat 8mm silicone bands
Flat profile silicone feels wider on the finger than a comfort-fit metal band — many farmers size up half a size. NZ free sizer available; silicone forgives a near-fit better than metal.
Silicone vs tungsten for shearing
Silicone is the only safe call around handpieces, gear, and electric fences — it tears away under load. A tungsten ring won't bend; it'll take the finger. Pair this with a tungsten band for town wear.
Q: How does ring avulsion actually happen?
A: A metal ring snags on machinery or a fence — your weight or the gear's force degloves the finger. Silicone tears at roughly 12kg of pull, releasing the finger before damage.
Q: How long does silicone last?
A: Daily-worn medical-grade silicone holds for 18-24 months before stretching. At $29 NZD it's a consumable, not an heirloom — keep a spare in the ute.
Q: Safe in cold South Island winters?
A: Silicone stays flexible to around -40°C. Frosty Otago paddocks won't crack it; it just feels slightly stiffer until your finger warms it through.

It was a real pleasure to deal with Tessa at 'Mens Rings Online'. The ring I requested arrived via seucre mail and was so professionally wrapped and presented, very top shelp. My requested Silicone Ring is better than advertised and the fit was perfect to their sizing guide. I look forward to wearing this ring during my work committments, it is so comfortable. In Summary, a great product from a great company with amazing people. Highly recommended.
I was so over taking on and off my original wedding band when hitting the gym, that I wanted just a simple and affective option... Welcome the Silicone Ring. Maintain the love and support I have for my wife and my daily commitment to the gym.. staying on daily!
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.
