The “Unicorn” Is Still Pretty Mythical

My hubby ordered me the “Legends” Thin Unicorn silicone ring from Enso Rings, based on the level of “ooh” & “aaahh” from me when I saw it online. Enso sells silicone rings—a neat alternative to traditional metal rings, safer for the fingers in lots of workplaces/situations, easy to work out in, super comfortable. The Legends collection has 2 rings (Unicorn & Yeti) in both thin & classic widths. The Unicorn ring shows as a very pretty, pearlescent (almost satin-ish looking texture) iridescent white ring. The pics on the company’s website are *so* pretty. That collection has channels cut into the inside of the ring as well to help keep the skin on your finger healthy, promoting airflow & moisture wicking (yeah, there’s a reason for mentioning this).

Alas, the beautiful Unicorn is still somewhat of a myth. The ring I received is much more glittery than pictured & has very unfinished looking edges (they look fresh cut or pulled out of a mould, not at all smoothed or tapered as depicted online). The biggest disappointment however was in regards to the channels I mentioned above—they very clearly show through on the surface of the ring. Not so much texture-wise, but as clear, defined shadowy stripes, all the way around the ring. Noticeable enough that the comment often made is “oh, nice striped ring”.

I’ve contacted Enso, explaining the issues. Have also read (in hindsight, sigh…) other reviews noting the same issues. Tried to post an honest review of the ring on their website too; however, that was days ago & it’s not there, although other reviews have been posted since. Looks like they’re only posting the positive ones—disappointing that the company seems to go that way.

I will say that they were good on their word to refund the duty charges we were hit with on delivery. And their customer service people have offered to replace the ring, as is their standard policy—but when it was a gift, it just doesn’t seem right to do that. I’m not looking for anything free. I just find it disappointing that this company seems to not be willing to post honest reviews on their products, nor acknowledge that there are issues. Kinda makes me reluctant to purchase from them in the future.
