The Design

About Homa Singsing, Kwintas

Ang Homa usa ka duha-ka-katuyoan nga singsing nga mahimo usab isul-ob isip kwintas. Ang piraso hinimo sa 18K nga bulawan ug gibutangan ug sintetikong asul nga ruby. Ang sulod nga singsing dalinaon, mao nga ang singsing mahimong i-adjust sa gidak-on sa tudlo sa magsul-ob. Usa ka rail nga mekanismo, base sa mga ligid sa tren, ang nagtugot nga ang singsing mabag-o ngadto sa kwintas. Usa ka yano nga kandado sa ilawom sa piraso ang nagpugong sa porma aron mag-unay kini kung ang singsing gisul-ob sa tudlo. Ang disenyo naghatag sa magsul-ob og kapilian sa gamit ug direktang interaksyon sa butang. Ang ngalan nga Homa nagpasabot sa langgam sa kalipay diha sa literatura sa Persia.
