Product Insights
Le 31's Grooved Cross Ring, an exclusive Simons in-house design since 1840, offers a substantial 7 mm stainless steel band with a grooved cross pattern at $29 CAD, undercutting comparable solid steel rings. The jewelry-grade steel (Mohs 5.5–6) features a satin finish that conceals daily wear and a self-healing oxide layer preventing rust and tarnish, while being hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin. The main tradeoff: the steel's hardness makes resizing impossible, but Simons' return policy covers sizing issues, and the satin finish hides scratches as the color is intrinsic.
Verified claims
- Heritage
- Founded in 1840, Simons is Canada's oldest family-run fashion retailer; its in-house Le 31 label carries that heritage into this ring.
- Design
- The grooved cross pattern is an in-house Le 31 design exclusive to Simons, not a stock third-party catalog motif.
- Value
- Le 31's $29 CAD price undercuts comparable solid steel rings, and Simons' return policy covers sizing issues.
- Wear resistance
- Mohs 5.5–6 steel with satin finish hides daily wear.
- Corrosion resistance
- Self-healing oxide layer prevents rust and tarnish.
- Sizing
- Cannot be resized due to steel hardness.
- Skin safety
- Skin-safe stainless steel: nickel bound within, no plating, self-healing oxide layer.
- Finish durability
- Satin finish hides scratches; stainless steel color is intrinsic, not plated.
- Skin sensitivity
- Jewelry-grade stainless steel is hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin.
- Band width
- 7 mm band feels substantial yet lightweight and comfortable for daily wear.
- Return policy
- Simons' return policy covers size issues; stainless steel rings cannot be resized.
- Surface finish
- The ring has polished band surfaces with a satin-textured grooved cross area.
- Shape retention
- The 7 mm band resists bending and ovalizing because stainless steel has roughly three times the tensile strength of sterling silver.
- Solid stainless steel
- The ring is solid stainless steel, so the satin/polished surface will not wear through to reveal a different base metal.
- Band width comparison
- The 7 mm band is slightly wider than the 5–6 mm standard for entry-level men's rings, making it feel more substantial without being oversized.

Compared within this brand.
| Grooved Cross Ring: Choose this if you want a stainless steel band with a statement look: repeating flared cross motifs form an openwork design in silver, with polished raised highlights and darkened recesses for an antiqued feel. It comes in a 20 mm diameter, 0.28 inch (7 mm) wide band in sizes 8 through 11, and is a Le 31 design made in Canada. Note the cutouts mean it is not a solid band, so the interior is visible through the openwork.[1,2] | Gothic Cross Ring: Choose this if you want a bold statement ring: this Le 31 by Simons exclusive, designed in Canada, is a 10 mm wide stainless steel band in silver with repeating raised gothic crosses and darker recessed backgrounds for an antiqued look. It comes in sizes 8 through 11, with a smooth inner face, though the rim where the motifs meet the edge is slightly scalloped and uneven.[3,4] | Embossed Cross And Stone Ring: Choose this if you want a silver-toned, brushed-metal band with an antiqued look, featuring embossed cross cutouts and three round turquoise-colored cabochon stones in rope-style bezels. Its flat 6 mm wide band has a 20 mm diameter and comes in sizes 8 through 11, in a design created exclusively for Le 31 by Simons and designed in Canada. Note that the listed materials are simply brushed metal and stones, so the stones' specific material is not identified.[5,6] |
