The Design

About Homa Prsten, náhrdelník

Homa je prsten s dvojím využitím, který lze nosit také jako náhrdelník. Šperk je vyroben z 18karátového zlata a osazen syntetickým modrým rubínem. Vnitřní část prstenu je pružná, takže jej lze přizpůsobit velikosti prstu nositele. Kolejnicový mechanismus, inspirovaný vlakovými koly, umožňuje proměnit prsten v náhrdelník. Jednoduchý zámek pod šperkem udržuje formu na místě, když je prsten nošen na prstu. Design nabízí nositeli možnost volby funkce a přímou interakci s předmětem. Jméno Homa odkazuje na ptáka blaženosti v perské literatuře.
