I had no say in my what my engagement ring was going to look like. In fact, I didn’t have a clue until David proposed on an overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway. And actually, I was too giddy that he had just asked me to marry him and squealing yes that I didn’t even get a close look at it until we were back in the car. Let me just say, the man has impeccable taste. My engagement ring and wedding band are incredibly special to me.
A year or so after our wedding, David and I were out in Colorado, a state that speaks to our wannabe outdoorsy souls. Walking along the streets of Boulder, we decided to buy turquoise and silver rings to wear while we took on all the adventures we wouldn’t want to risk losing our real rings during. David put his on and has never taken it off. His “fancy” wedding ring stays tucked away in storage.

Enter motherhood. Motherhood has put my rings through quite a beating. From wiping bottoms, to cleaning messes, to piles of dishes, to quick and intense workouts, to adventure walks, and more, my hands stay busy and often, messy.
The jeweler we bought our rings from will clean them for free, but I don’t very often drive the hour to have them cleaned, so more often than not there is a slight film on my diamond and what I’ll lovingly call “crud” hiding between the prongs.
Many days I find myself taking my rings off and often staying ring-less. It is too much of a hassle to remove and replace rings while I form meatballs or attend to other motherly duties.
The thing is though, I feel a little naked without my rings. I play with my rings with my thumb and twist them in conversation. Every time I am without them I feel mini moments of panic until I realize they are tucked safely away.
It seemed fortuitous when a solution found me. QALO (pronounced kay-low) reached out to me to share about their new Women’s Stackable Rings. QALO makes functional wedding rings that fit your life, and their new Stackables come in 5 different colors and 4 different styles. Oh, and they are CUTE.
Beyond being cute, they are made of medical grade silicone, which allows you to show your commitment to your loved ones, while not having to worry about damaging your ring or your finger.
Since I got my rings in the mail, I haven’t taken them off. From boat rides to hikes to day to day activities and chores, they just fit the mom lifestyle.
Whether you sweat it out at the gym, spend time outdoors in the dirt or indoors in the Elmer’s glue, whether you are pregnant with swollen fingers and need to size up, or if you just would like a cute, customizable ring that you don’t have to think twice about, QALO is there for you.
Interested in trying them for yourself? QALO is giving one of you a prize pack! Just click over to the Stackables Collection and leave a comment below this post with your favorite QALO Stackable

This is a neat concept. And I have seen you wearing them for awhile now. My fave is Lilac laurel Q2X by far. This could be interesting to try out at juice bar!!
Grace says
Those rings look awesome and I would love some. I recall sending you a message on instagram, asking about them! lol
I really love both the WOMEN’S AQUAMARINE TWIST STACKABLE SILICONE RING and the WOMEN’S AMETHYST TWIST STACKABLE SILICONE RING – both my son & I have February birthdays & Amethyst is our color 🙂
Great giveaway!
montessoriishmom says
What a great idea! I think my husband in particular would love these. He’s always taking his ring off when he goes for bike rides, kayaking, etc. I think he’d like the grey silicone ring. The ones you have are really cute!
Sarah says
These are very cute! I like both the aquamarine and the amethyst ones – love them all!
Jessica says
I saw these on your Instagram Stories and loved them. My husband actually has a few that he now wears as his wedding ring and swaps out the color. He lost a bunch of weight a few years ago and his ring was loose and he was worried he’d loose it, so a friend who wears one when driving his race car sent him one to try and he went to buy a few more. They are awesome and I need to get a few. I love the I love the aquamarine, pink topaz and black twist. So much fun!
Emily says
those are great! my husband and i definitely need a set! i love the twist rings!
Jeannie says
Love the AMETHYST CHEVRON!
Also I have to ask wear did you get your cute pink shirt from? I love the opening in the back.
Kristin says
PBI, I think it’s this one from Old Navy http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=1030828&vid=1&pid=205870022. Pretty much sold out online, but I think I saw some still in my local store, so you might call their CS number. It came in white, pink, grey and black (I have 3 colors). HTH!
laura says
I love the amethyst twist, step, and chevron. This is such a great idea! I will take mine off for meatball making (or other kitchen task), and leaving them on the counter is NOT a great idea.
Megan Bramos says
I love the stackable concept! The White Quartz twist + Amethyst twist would be my top pick 🙂 Plus the grey for my husband!
Stephanie says
So fun! I think I like the smooth stackable the best.
Maggie C says
I’d love to wet these while I workout! The color combos are endless! I love J blue and white look
Sara Morgan says
These are awesome! My husband has a Qualo band already and loves it! I would love to have one as well!
Emily says
The twist rings are neat! I like the light blue!
Laura Lynn Stubbs says
These look great! I’m always taking mine off for workouts so they don’t get scratched. I love the stackable twist rings.
Megan says
I noticed you wearing these in a couple Instagram posts. I love the exact color combination you have. At the moment I can’t imagine not wearing my actual ring but I’m sure I’ll change my mind when I have a baby.
My husband, on the other hand, is always talking about how he doesn’t want to destroy his ring, and I think this would be perfect. I’m thinking of getting him one!
Lauren says
I love the the chevron stackables!!! Hot pink, white, black!
Cathy says
I have seen your rings in a couple of pictures on your blog and always wondered about them. They are so cute and practical.
Cathy says
I love the women’s white quartz smooth.
Lucy Foster says
I am embarassed to say that my husband “misplaced” his wedding ring months ago. I really like the men’s 2 QX silicone bundle. What a neat concept. He has told me just to get him a cheaper ring because he knows he will find his old one. (insert eye roll)!
Melissa says
I love the LILAC LAUREL Q2X. So pretty.
Emily G says
I love the chevron ones! And I’d probably stick with Quartz – because I like to match 😉
Sarah says
I love the white quartz!
Jessie @ The Acquired Sass says
I’ve been looking into these, but haven’t purchased yet, so I would LOVE to win. My future hubby (32 days!) and I are big into hiking. Plus, I’m a runner. But also, continually have a case of sausage finger when I am active. I would love to be able to wear “my ring” still when hiking or running. Especially since we take super active vacations.
Like you said, doesn’t make sense to take a fancy ring with you if you know you’ll spend the whole trip hiking!
I love just the plain smooth rings, probably in black. Simpleton over here. 🙂
Brandy H. says
I love QALO! I have one of their rings and never take it off! It would be fun to have another one to switch it up! I love the aquamarine twist and the pink topaz step. Pair it with one of their white bands and it would be perfect!
Kim R. says
I love the twisted rings in blue, white, and pink!
Lexi says
I love this idea for a life-friendly ring! As someone who works in a lab and therefore washes their hands all. the. time, this is something I can get behind 🙂 I love the amethyst twist QALO. The twist is almost nautical looking!
Abby Bathke says
These are so cute! For running (fingers swell) and softball (ouch when I hold the bat and catch balls!) I tend to take my rings off, so this would be a good alternative. I like the chevron style, aquamarine and black!
Hannah @CleanEatingVeggieGirl says
I love the jet black twist ring!
Heather says
These are awesome!! I hate being worried about damaging my wedding rings or losing them and I just feel naked when I’m not wearing them, so this is a fantastic alternative!
I like the black twist! I think I’d get a matching one for my husband!
Kaitlin says
I love the aquamarine twist!
Erin says
I just got my husband one for christmas and have been debating getting one for myself. I love the chevron stack-able ones in all the colors!
Bailey says
Love these! I got engaged a few months ago and I still feel paranoid about losing or damaging my nice right (which is literally the nicest thing I’ve ever had!). I feel like wearing these would make me feel better. The amethyst are so cute!
Allison says
We bought these about a year ago and I LOVE mine! My husband was a patrol officer when we got married. The poor guy has this one and then a 100 dollar ring that I got on 40% off! We were looking at rings and I just couldn’t spend that much on his ring he would lose, beat up, whatever. So he was like I don’t want that either!! We both have the QALO rings now and wear them most of the time.
I love my rings but man its nice not to worry about losing something so special! Mine engagement ring diamond is actually my husbands grandmothers that she left for him before she died to give to me. (Her words “When you are ready to marry her you should use this”) So its crazy special to both of us and a very old diamond!
Danielle says
Loving the amethyst, white, and black. Stackable rings are the best!
brittney says
My husband wears one of these and loves it! I have been thinking about getting one for when working out and daily chores- mine gets hit a lot and I worry about it. I like the white quartz !
Layla says
I like the aquamarine twist ring.
Millie Lampa says
I love the twist style! I think that is what you have on!
Emily says
I love the purple and blue twist rings!
Ann P-L says
I love the Jade Green Laurel! I’d get that and have a black smooth stackable on one side and a white chevron stackable on the other.
Jen says
I like the white chevron and love the idea of having these as vacation or outing rings! My husband and I never wear our rings when we’re going away and this would be a nice simple piece to wear. Has a great price point too!
Wanda W says
I love the Twisted Amethyst. Both of my children were born in February so it would be neat to have it to represent their births.
Whitney D says
These are so cute!! I love that they are stackable and the twist style is my favorite!!
Andrea says
I agree with you, that it is easier just to wear my simple wedding band. My engagement ring scratches the kids too when I have it on. Do you have any tips or suggestion for cleaning the film off you diamond when you don’t feel like driving the hour to the jewelers?
Molly says
I recently just hit my rings/hand so hard on something that they actually cut my finger! I had to go without for nearly a week. It would be nice to have an alternative like this, especially for my “mom” days.
Stephanie says
I have to ask where the black dress you are wearing at the end of the post is from – super cute!
Jill says
I like the aquamarine twist! Funny timing, because my engagement ring diamond just fell out last week. I was SO lucky that I found it (I had thrown it away thinking it was a piece of glass). Took it to a jeweler & realized how hard I am on that ring, as it’s totally misshapen, likely from wearing it to the gym! These rings look great! My husband NEVER wears his nice ring because it bugs me, so I’m thinking he might like something like this.
Jenny says
I have never seen those twisty QALO bands-they’re so cute and functional! I love the idea of having ‘vacation rings’ so I don’t have to worry about damaging my real rings!
Tracy Koeppen says
I like the amethyst twist!
Joy says
I bought QALO rings for me and my husband for Valentine’s Day this year and I love them! We too are active and like to travel so these really fit the bill. I wear mine every day at the gym. Of course I bought them RIGHT BEFORE the stackables came out and I’ve been eyeing them every since. I love the Chervon and Twists as I think they’d go well with my current one. Great product, great company!
Tara C. says
The aquamarine chevron stackable is my favorite! This would be great for wearing to the gym. I always take my rings off when I’m strength training so that my rings don’t pinch my skin.
Allison says
I love then twist in amethyst and black! I’ve been eyeing these for a while and noticed them on your IG!
Hilary says
I loved the Women’s Charcoal Grey Laurel Q2X™ Silicone Ring.
Lauren Gonzalez says
I like the WOMEN’S LILAC LAUREL Q2X™ SILICONE RING.

Love the aquamarine step with the white chevron! So pretty, so functional!
Laureb says
I love these! I have actually been looking at getting one since a few of the girls I workout with wear them. My husband also wants one! I like so many of them lol! Hard to choose but I think My favorites are the twist in aquamarine, amethyst, and pink topaz!
Lauren says
I love these and have actually been looking into getting one! My husband wants one too! I really like the twist ones in aquamarine, amethyst, and pink topaz.
Kelli D. says

Kris says
I am loving the gray silicone! These would Be perfect for My active lifestyle!
Jenny says
I love the idea of a functional and cute ring! I haven’t seen the twisty QALO rings, they would be awesome to have!
Margo says
I would go with the jet smooth.
Rebekah says
I love these rings! I have a friend who wears them & have been thinking of getting my own for a while now. I love your colors!
Meg Joyce says
I would love to try these out! I bike and swim a ton, and always worry that my ring will slip off as my hands get sweaty or wet. I end up not wearing my ring and then forgetting to put it back on after I shower. I think I like the amethyst the most but they are honestly all cute.
ErikaMC says
These seem like a great idea. I’m in the habit of taking my ring off as soon as I get home but it feels weird. I really like the WOMEN’S AMETHYST TWIST STACKABLE SILICONE RING.
paige c says
I love the aquamarine twist stackable!
Sandy says
Love the Pink Topaz Twist Stackable!
Sarah says
I really like the amethyst chevron! I am a mom to a 5 year old girl, two year old boy, and 6 month old baby girl. These would be such a welcomed addition to my wardrobe and quite frankly, a blessing. I am a stay at home mom and I miss wearing my wedding rings but I am always afraid I’ll ruin them by wearing them during this messy season of life! 🙂
Melissa says
Such a great idea!! I like the chevron stackable & I love all the colors…I guess aquamarine, black & white would be my favorite combo.
Dana Fritz says
Aquamarine Twist!

I love the amethyst twisted ring. My husband and I have been married 52 years and our original wedding bands no longer fit. I think these would be the perfect thing for us! We have been talking about getting our rings sized and wearing them again, but this seems like the perfect compromise!!
