Why Choose Silicone Rings
Silicone is safe for every situation a metal ring is not: the gym, swimming, contact sports, manual work, and medical environments. It won't conduct electricity, won't scratch tools or equipment, and won't trap the kind of pressure that makes metal rings a hazard on the job.
Medical-grade silicone — no metal, no conductivity, no risk. Safe for electricians, mechanics, surgeons, and anyone who can't wear metal on the job.
Hypoallergenic and skin-safe. No nickel, no reactions, no redness. If metal rings have caused problems before, silicone won't.
Shower, swim, gym, sea — silicone doesn't corrode, rust or react. Flexible enough to move with your hand, tough enough for daily wear.
Every ring arrives in a presentation gift box — no extra packaging needed. Ready to give exactly as it arrives.
Charcoal grey silicone with a raised block pattern across the surface. 8mm. The texture gives it a structured, modern look that sets it apart from plain silicone bands. The Tempo is bought by men who work with their hands, train regularly, or spend time outdoors — personal trainers, climbers, swimmers, tradespeople — anyone who needs a ring that keeps up with a physical lifestyle.
Silicone is soft, flexible, and designed to break away under dangerous force — protecting your finger where a metal ring could cause serious injury. It weighs next to nothing. You won’t feel it during a workout, in the water, or on a climb. Medical-grade silicone is hypoallergenic, non-conductive, and waterproof. Comfort-fit. Dispatched today.
What makes this ring worth it?
Walk into a jeweller and you’ll find versions of our rings for 3–4 times the price. The difference isn’t the ring — it’s the overheads. We work directly with the craftspeople who make them and carry the stock ourselves, which is how we can sell a ring that genuinely lasts for a fraction of high street prices.
Traditional gold and silver scratch, bend and lose their shine. That doesn’t happen here. We use a high end process called PVD plating which is the same process used on high end watches to keep your ring looking great.
Why buy from Newman Bands?
We’re based in Horsham and dispatch the same day for orders before 5pm (11am Saturday). That includes engraved rings — we hold stock and engrave on site, which is why we can still get it to you in 1–2 days. Most online ring sellers take 2 weeks or more.
We’ve fulfilled over 100,000 orders since 2019 and hold over 10,000 five-star reviews across Trustpilot and Reviews.io. Any questions before you buy — contact us directly. No chatbots, no outsourced support. We handle it ourselves.
What if it doesn't fit?
Not quite the right fit? No problem. Silicone rings are flexible, but if the size isn’t perfect, we offer free exchanges or refunds — no questions asked. You have 100 days to return it for any reason.
Not sure of your size? Select “I don’t know my ring size” from the dropdown and we’ll send you a free ring sizer first.
THE DETAILS
Silicone rings are engineered to snap under dangerous pulling force. If the ring catches on machinery, equipment, or a climbing hold, it breaks away cleanly instead of crushing or degloving your finger. That’s the reason silicone exists as a ring material — it’s a safety feature that looks like jewellery. Non-conductive, so it’s safe around electrical hazards too.
Silicone weighs almost nothing. Most wearers forget it’s there within minutes of putting it on. It flexes with your finger rather than pressing against it, so there’s no pinching, no catching, and no adjustment period. Josiah from Manchester wears his for outdoor use: “Perfect for outdoor use, swimming, watersports, climbing, mountain biking.”
The Tempo’s raised block pattern gives it texture and depth that plain silicone bands don’t have. The charcoal grey sits between black and silver — subtle enough for daily wear, distinctive enough to look intentional. It reads as a ring someone chose, not a placeholder.
Every Tempo arrives in a presentation box — ready to give as a gift without extra wrapping. Not sure about the size? We’ll send a free ring sizer first. Frances bought the Tempo as a birthday present for her partner, a personal trainer: “Within a few days of sending them his size, the ring arrived in really fancy looking packaging.”

Who This Ring Is For
The Tempo is for men who can’t or shouldn’t wear a metal ring during their day. Personal trainers, tradespeople, climbers, swimmers, military personnel, first responders — anyone whose hands are active and at risk. Frances bought one as a birthday present for her partner who trains clients all day and can’t wear his traditional wedding ring while working. Josiah wears his for climbing, mountain biking, swimming, and watersports.
It’s also bought as a travel ring — something you wear abroad or on holiday so your metal ring stays safe at home. The Tempo costs a fraction of a metal band, so losing it or damaging it is an inconvenience, not a disaster.
Charcoal grey silicone with a raised block pattern running across the outer surface. 8mm width. The pattern gives the ring visual texture that catches the light differently from every angle — it looks deliberate and designed rather than generic. The charcoal tone is darker than silver but softer than black, which makes it versatile across skin tones and settings.
Newman Bands offers a free size exchange if the fit is not right first time.
Silicone has a matte, smooth-touch finish. It won’t clink against surfaces, won’t scratch anything you touch, and won’t conduct heat or cold the way metal does.
Why Silicone
Silicone rings exist because metal rings cause injuries. Ring avulsion — where a caught ring degloving the finger — is a real and serious risk for anyone working with machinery, weights, or equipment. Silicone is engineered to break away under dangerous tension. That’s not a weakness — it’s the entire purpose of the material.
Beyond safety, silicone is waterproof, non-conductive, and hypoallergenic. Medical-grade silicone is the same material used in surgical implants. It won’t react with skin, won’t tarnish from sweat or water, and won’t cause irritation for people with metal sensitivities.
Silicone can’t be resized in the traditional sense, but it has natural stretch and flexibility. If the fit isn’t right, return it free and we’ll exchange it the same day it arrives.
How it Compares
A silicone ring from a specialist brand or high-street retailer often costs several times what you’d pay here for the same medical-grade material. The Tempo uses the same grade of silicone, the same comfort-fit profile, and arrives in the same presentation packaging as every ring in our range. Buyers consistently tell us the quality and the packaging exceed their expectations.
“Excellent company. Both their product and communication is fab.”
— Frances — verified Tempo buyer
Buying This as a Gift?
The Tempo is one of our most popular gift purchases. Frances bought it for her partner after seeing silicone rings recommended in a scuba diving community — her partner is a personal trainer who can’t wear his traditional ring at work. The presentation box means no wrapping is needed.
Not sure about their size? We’ll post a free ring sizer so you can find the right fit before ordering. Frances used ours and the whole process was straightforward.
“My partner didn’t know his size so they sent us a ring sizer in the post.”
— Frances — verified Tempo buyer
“Excellent company. Both their product and communication is fab. My partner is a personal trainer and so wearing his traditional wedding ring isn’t an option. I seen their rings recommended by a scuba group … the ring arrived in really fancy looking packaging. Can’t wait to give this to him as a birthday present.”
Frances
Both Tempo reviews are five stars. Silicone rings are bought by people who use their hands all day — personal trainers, tradespeople, gym-goers, and anyone who needs a ring that won’t get in the way. The Tempo is chosen when metal isn’t safe or practical, with silicone breaking away under dangerous force to protect the finger.
“Perfect for outdoor use, swimming, watersports, climbing, mountain biking.”
