My sister is transgender, and the last thing she wants to see when she’s shopping is a company immediately trying to gender an item like a silicone ring. I wanted the wider standard width so that it was clear to people it was a wedding band and not just a fashion statement.Īnother thing I love about Enso Rings that you don’t find on other silicone ring sites is that Enso doesn’t immediately pigeonhole buyers by gender.

We wanted to stay away from black rings, because we thought that would make people think he was a police officer. Enso also has pearl, ruby, bronze, copper and peacock.

I don’t want to return to the days when I had no ring to wear, and I don’t want this for my husband either. I have unmarried girlfriends who wear silicone rings to discourage men from making moves on them. I worry that if we don’t wear our rings, people will not know that we are married.

Seeing my ring during the day reminds me of how happy I am to be married to my husband. But my husband and I got married only three months ago, and we love to wear our rings. Many nurses, doctors and others in professions like my husband simply don’t wear their wedding rings to work so the rings stay safe.

While his employer doesn’t forbid him from wearing his wedding ring to work, it’s a concern for him. We live in Montana, and my husband is a logger.
