Product Insights
The Simons Openwork Open Ring is a wide 2.5 cm gold-plated stainless steel ring with an openwork design that reduces visual mass into a floating silhouette, priced at $19. It adjusts by gentle bending to fit US sizes 6–8, but the width and openwork shape can feel bulky and snag clothing. The smooth inner band is comfortable, but the plating may wear and expose nickel, and the ring is not confirmed nickel-free, serving as a low-cost test for nickel-allergic buyers. To maintain it, remove before water, chemicals, and friction.
