1. The history and rise of stretch rings

While flexible rings may feel like a modern invention, their roots go back to mid-20th century handmade jewelry. Early versions were strung on thin nylon or fishing lines with tiny beads or crystals.

Today, thanks to durable silicone cords and elastic jewelry threads, the stretch ring has become one of the most versatile fashion accessories.

Its popularity grew with the rise of minimalism and comfort-first fashion. Women started searching for jewelry that feels good — not just looks good.

Fun fact: In 2024, the keyword “elastic ring” ranked among the Top 10 most searched terms in the “fashion jewelry” category on Etsy, with a +70% increase in search volume.
