Simons
Natural-Stone Ring
This natural-stone ring is crafted from gold-plated stainless steel and features five rounded cabochon stones in red and orange-red tones set along the band. The band has a polished finish and measures 8 mm in width. User reviews suggest the lightweight construction makes it suitable for occasional wear, and the gold plating may wear off over time.

Product Insights
This 29 CAD ring from Simons pairs gold-plated stainless steel with natural semiprecious stones, providing durability and corrosion resistance rare at the price point, while the graduated five-stone layout on an 8mm band creates an ornate, more expensive appearance; however, it is only available in sizes 7 and 8 and cannot be resized, requiring buyers to size up if between sizes to ensure everyday comfort.
Verified claims
- Sizing
- Available in sizes 7 and 8; cannot be resized; size up if between sizes.
- Comfort
- The 8mm band can sit comfortably when the size clears the knuckle, but the ring is intended for occasional wear rather than daily use.
- Value
- 29 CAD gold-plated stainless steel and natural stones provide durability and corrosion resistance rare at this price.
- Resizing
- Gold-plated stainless steel ring cannot be resized; choose size 7 or 8.
- Natural stones
- Natural semiprecious stones with unique inclusions make each ring one-of-a-kind.
- Styling
- Wear with solid colors; the 8mm band creates a bold, band-led statement.
- Visual effect
- The multi-stone layout creates an ornate look that reads as more expensive than the $29 price.
- Brand heritage
- Simons, family-owned since 1840, builds trust with 180+ years of fashion curation.
- Stone type
- At this price point, the 'natural stones' in this ring are likely abundant semiprecious minerals such as quartz, agate, jasper, or howlite rather than rare gemstones.
- Natural stone variation
- Because the stones are natural rather than uniformly manufactured synthetics, every ring varies in pattern, color banding, and translucency.
- Skin safety
- The stainless steel core is unlikely to provoke skin reactions and will not leave a green mark even if the gold finish eventually wears.

Durability concerns for lightweight rings
Any ring that weighs less than one gram is pretty much going to be something that is very easily damaged, I’d save for something heavier.

Overpriced with low-grade gemstones
Ross-Simons leans more to being over priced for what you're getting, but they can have good sales. Be sure you really zoom in on those gems. They're the type sold for beading. They'll probably be opaque.

Concern about ring being hollow or thin
Based on the listed weight from the link, it could be hollow or a very thin gauge. 2mm is just the width, the weight is 0.7 grams. I agree with you get what you pay for.
