The Story Behind Couple Rings
In Greek mythology, Zeus won the love of the beautiful princess Europa with an exquisitely beautiful ring. So, do couples on Valentine's Day yearn for a pair of meaningful love rings? Amid countless tokens of affection, only couple rings truly stand the test of time — they are the unspoken code of love, adding warmth to romance, adding points to emotions, and giving couples bathing in the river of love a warm promise. On the day of love, with you by my side, with couple rings as proof, let couples uphold their belief in love till the end.
Meaning of Couple Rings
In ancient Greek mythology, couples wore rings on each other's ring fingers because they believed that there was a vein directly connected to the heart. Thus, the meaning of couple rings symbolizes a heartfelt commitment — through changing times, we pledge to stay together, never to leave nor forsake each other!
Beautiful Myth
Justus was born in the small town of Provence, France. Perhaps it's related to the picturesque lavender fields and the passionate sunflowers that abound in the town, or maybe it's because of the inherent romanticism of the French people. In this town filled with the sweet aroma of love, Justus was born.Initially, Justus started as a silver workshop named "Lamaisond'amourd'uncle" founded by the Lyon family in 1984. They focused on crafting wedding rings for couples. Lyon, the founder, enjoyed witnessing young couples deeply in love and listening to their stories with joy. Inspired by the scent of Provence, Lyon conceived unique ring designs that reflected the individual traits of each couple.
Lyon was a genuine fan of China. He was deeply impressed by the ancient Chinese tradition of exchanging tokens of love to convey longing and remembrance between lovers. However, he also didn't understand the overly reserved attitude towards love in China. In his opinion, true love knows no age, time, or place. If one is moved, one should speak out loud without fear or worry. With a sudden inspiration, Lyon decided to incorporate the concept of tokens into a jewelry brand that encourages young people to bravely seek true love.
In 1990, Lyon began promoting couple jewelry in the shop vigorously. The workshop gradually shifted its focus to crafting couple jewelry. In addition to rings, bracelets and necklaces also appeared in pairs in "Lamaisond'amourd'uncle". Apart from advocating for young people to love bravely and express their love, the sense of responsibility and promise inherent in love tokens also bestowed a serene passion between young people. Symbolizing each other's promises and every second of longing.
In 2006, a special day for the Lyon family arrived as they welcomed their first bride from China. Inspired by China's tradition of exchanging love tokens, Lyon decided to promote a brand that encourages young people in China to bravely seek and express love to the younger generation.Encouraging them to bravely accept and confess love when it comes.
Therefore, in 2008, "Lamaisond'amourd'uncle" landed in China, officially changing its name to "Justus". Since then, the essence of love has returned. "Justus" has become a symbol of love between young couples in China, recording the longing, stories, and unspoken promises between each other.

Purchasing Tips
When buying platinum couple rings, be extremely careful. White gold and platinum are not the same. In the past, some unscrupulous sellers misrepresented white gold as platinum, and some people fell for it! Remember, not all white metals are platinum. According to the latest revised national standard "Regulations and Naming Methods for Jewelry Precious Metal Purity" issued on November 1, 2009, only platinum can be called white gold. In addition, only jewelry with a platinum content of more than 850‰ can have any of the following proprietary marks. So, a simple way to identify is to flip the platinum jewelry and see if there is a PT mark inside.
Types of Couple Rings
- Matching male and female rings are identical, with the only difference being that the female ring is slightly finer than the male ring.
- Spliced male and female rings: This type of couple ring expresses a certain emotion and requires both rings to be put together to display a heart or other expression of love.
Maintaining Shine
To ensure the brightness of your precious couple rings, it's essential to protect them well. If your rings become tarnished, dull, and lack luster from daily wear, follow the methods below to maintain their shine:
- Mix a suitable amount of ammonia water with water in a small bowl or teacup, soak the diamond ring in the mixture for about half an hour, then lightly brush the front and back of the ring with a small brush, wave it in the water for a while, and finally, pat it dry with a tissue.
- Fill a small bowl or teacup with warm water, mix an appropriate amount of neutral detergent in it. Soak the diamond ring in the water, gently brush it with a toothbrush, use a mesh sieve to catch it, rinse it under warm water from the tap, and finally, pat it dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Other methods:
- Avoid letting the ring come into contact with chlorine-containing bleach while doing household chores. Although it won't damage the ring, it may cause the setting to fade or discolor. Avoid wearing rings when washing dishes or doing rough work. Although the ring is hard, it may be damaged if struck along its grain direction. Have your diamond jewelry checked by a jeweler once a year to see if the setting is loose or worn out, and have it re-fixed and polished if necessary.
Styles of Couple Rings
For Men:
- Cluster setting: Just like single diamonds, cluster setting for male couple rings is simple yet elegant. The cluster setting is casual yet not ordinary, shining like stars in the sky.
- Bi-color styles: While elegant white is timeless, bi-color male couple rings are the most popular style today. The combination of bi-color and diamonds makes the diamonds appear even purer in the colorful hues. Pure white male couple rings are classic, while colorful bi-color male couple rings are trendy and individualistic.
- Love marks: Designing the words "love" or "520" on the ring to express deep love between couples is also a popular style. A single word with infinite changes can compose different styles and personalities.
