QALO Thin Blue Line Ring Series

QaloQALO Rings, about which I have previously written, has a new line of wedding rings that honor police officers and firefighters.  The Thin Blue Line and Thin Red Line rings allow you to show commitment to your profession while protecting the hands that hold your spouses tight.  Yes, they make them for both men and women.

QALO, pronounced Kay-Lo, will donate 20% of the proceeds from the sales of these rings to care for the families of fallen officers through the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund.  A similar fund will distribute the 20% to families of fallen firefighters through the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation and Firefighter Wife.  Says QALO:

“QALO’s new Thin Line collection offers law enforcement officers and firefighters the ability to casually show their support to their professional communities while safely wearing their wedding rings. The Thin Blue Line and Thin Red Line rings are constructed with the same high quality medical grade silicone as all of the other QALO rings. It provides a safe, functional alternative to the traditional metal wedding bands because of its pliability. The rings are predominately black in color with a thin blue or red line running around the center of it.

“The tradition of the Thin Blue or Red Line is a modern adaptation of a description originally used by 19th century journalist William Russell. During the Crimean War, Russell described a spread military force holding back an enemy using the expression “a thin red streak tipped with a line of steel,” which over time turned into “the thin red line.” The most current adaption of the phrase referring to law enforcement officers and firefighters uses the colors blue and red. The Thin Blue Line represents law enforcement officers, who commonly wear blue uniforms, standing guard upholding peace for law abiding citizens against unlawful acts. The Thin Red Line is a symbol that illustrates the line of firefighters protecting us, and also shows respect to their fallen comrades.”

The Thin Line Series has been so popular that the wait for shipping is currently three weeks.  QALO also sells Thin Line shirts and ball caps with the same charitable donation policy as their rings.Color_Blue_Mens_Quality Thumb_Blue4_Mens_Quality Thumb_Red2_Mens_Quality_grande Thumb_Red4_Mens_QualitySince I last wrote about QALO, they have introduced new colors to their palette.  New men’s and women’s colors include green, brown, tan, camo, orange, breast cancer pink and brick red.  The price for the Thin Line series is $24.99 for men and $20.99 for women.  Standard ring prices are $19.99 and $15.99, respectively.

I think these rings are a great idea for first responders and active adults.  Fingers are, after all, pretty handy to have.
