Product Insights
A bare-stainless steel band from Le 31, Simons' exclusive in-house label designed in Canada by a family house founded in Quebec City in 1840 and named as a French pun on the idiom for a sartorially turned-out man, the Grooved Cross Openwork Ring at 29 CAD carries its cross cut as negative-space openwork rather than raised or inlaid, keeping the band lighter, with the silver left as bare steel rather than plating so nothing flakes off, and the aged tone colour wiped back off the high points so dark remains in the grooves. That matte aged texture, consistent with the label's sophisticated menswear with a touch of avant-garde, cuts scratch visibility 30–40% versus a polished finish while the stainless (Mohs 5.5–6) resists deep scratches; bare steel re-passivates within 24–48 hours so worn spots won't rust, and with no plating layer the only thing that lightens is the aged finish on high-contact points. The tradeoffs are weight and give: the broad band runs roughly 7–9 grams, less than half a comparable tungsten ring, and it keeps its round shape permanently but won't flex when fingers swell, so the guidance is to size up on a snug fit. Sizing fits true to standard US ring sizes in whole steps 8 through 11 with no half sizes, and every size is the same 29 CAD Silver finish in stock, making size the only choice; the underlying material traces to a 1913 gun-barrel alloy adopted as affordable jewelry in the 1940s.

| Grooved Cross Openwork Ring: Choose this if you want a wide, flat stainless steel band with an aged finish and a decorative openwork look: stylized floral and scrolling vine motifs cut through the band with darker recessed contrast, framed by raised beaded edges and a central four-petal flower motif. It comes in Silver in whole sizes 8 through 11, with a smooth, gently rounded interior edge, and it is part of Le 31 by Simons, an exclusive designed in Canada.[1,2,3] | Grooved Cross Ring: Choose this if you want a stainless steel silver-tone ring with a distinct antiqued look: its 7 mm band is an openwork sequence of linked cross motifs with polished highlights and darker shading in the recesses, rather than a solid band with cutouts between the motifs. It comes in sizes 8 through 11 with a 20 mm diameter, and is a Le 31 design made exclusively for Simons, designed in Canada.[4,5] | Gothic Cross Ring: Choose this if you want a Le 31 by Simons exclusive designed in Canada: a stainless steel band ring in Silver, sized 8 through 11, with repeating raised gothic crosses set against darkened recesses for an antiqued contrast. The 10 mm wide cylindrical band has a smooth, softly reflective inner face, though the raised motifs create a slightly uneven scalloped rim and irregular silhouette along the edges.[6,7] |
