The design of this pair of rings is inspired by the mortise and tenon principle of traditional Chinese architectural structures. Mortise and tenon is a type of joint that combines convex and concave surfaces on two components. Among them, the protruding part is known as the tenon, while the concave part is known as the mortise. It can be tightly joined with only one mortise and one tenon without the use of adhesive. The two match perfectly, and only their combination can make the main body strong enough.

This pair of rings uses mortise and tenon as the design element, which integrates superb craftsmanship, scattered form aesthetics, and subtle cultural images. The rings are artistically blended with traditional Chinese architectural cultural elements. The whole is smooth and elegant, with a low-key atmosphere. While reflecting the visual tension, it can brilliantly demonstrates the fashion sense and freshness.

After careful planning and precise calculation, the joint between the mortise and tenon is simple and perfectly fit. The geometric abstract beauty is maximized with a few lines, which is consistent with modern minimalist design ideas.

The tenon ring is for men, whereas the mortise is for women. The mortise and tenon complement each other perfectly, implying a natural pair or golden couple. The stable structure that results from the combination illustrates the importance of mutual support between men and women, like the relationship between couples. Compared with traditional rings, it provides the wearer with a sense of interaction and a new emotional experience, satisfying people's needs for emotional expression or emotional sustenance for happiness.
