How it compares to similar men's necklaces

• Unlike Etsy or Amazon purchases where returning a necklace that doesn’t match the photos requires shipping and restocking fees, Simons accepts returns within 30 days at any physical location—a practical advantage for an item where chain heft and pendant scale are hard to judge digitally.
• At 19 inches, the chain sits at the collarbone on most men up to 6’2”, the same length used by Miansai and Vitaly for their best-selling necklaces; it delivers the same styling versatility without requiring an additional extender chain, which those brands often sell separately.
• Men’s necklaces from H&M, Zara, and ASOS priced between 20–40 CAD almost universally use zinc alloy or brass with a silver-toned plating that wears off with sweat and abrasion; the Le 31 necklace is solid stainless steel, which maintains its colour indefinitely—a material upgrade that usually costs $60+ USD from brands like Vitaly or Miansai.
• The palm-link chain is a less common iteration than standard curb or figaro, appearing in collections from Serge DeNimes (80–120 CAD) and Vitaly’s Roman series (95 CAD); its use here at 39 CAD gives the necklace a contemporary visual against the sea of basic chains on Amazon, without the upcharge.

Stainless steel everyday wear and care

• With tensile strength around 500 MPa, the chain and snap hook clasp can handle the accidental snag of a coat zipper or the weight of a gym bag strap without deforming, stretching, or snapping—a practical advantage for a necklace intended for continuous, active wear.
• A quick wash with mild dish soap, warm water, and a soft cloth is all that's needed to remove body oils and restore brilliance—the non-reactive surface means dirt doesn't bond, so the chain never requires harsh chemical dips or specialized polishing cloths.
• At approximately 5.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, stainless steel is significantly harder than gold (2.5) and silver (2.7), meaning the palm-link chain resists the fine scratch accumulation that softens the look of precious-metal necklaces over the first year of daily wear.
• Stainless steel's inert surface means it won't react with sweat or skin oils to produce the green or black discoloration that costume metals like brass and copper leave on the neck after a long day—keeping both the chain and skin clean through warm-weather commutes and workouts.
• Stainless steel naturally forms an invisible chromium oxide film on its surface that blocks oxygen, which is why this chain resists tarnishing through sweat, humidity, and even showering—it maintains its shine without the semi-regular polishing that silver or brass demands.
• Because the chain and pendant are solid stainless steel rather than a plated base metal, the silver tone is the material itself—there is no plating layer to wear off, so the necklace never reveals a duller core or develops the brassy, chipped look common in plated jewelry after months of contact.
