The Design

About Dhvaja Prif Swyddogaeth: Mwclis

Testun Llyfr: Mae Dhvaja yn fwclis y gellir ei agor i gadw hoff atgofion bach. Ysbrydolwyd y ffurf gan y dhvaja, un o'r Wyth Symbol Ffodus mewn Bwdhaeth, sy'n cynrychioli buddugoliaeth a'r gallu i drechu drygioni. Gwneir y mwclis o aur 18k a'i orffen â pholisio drych a chrefftwaith ymyl glain. Mae dwy brif ran yn ffurfio'r darn: dhvaja addurniadol a chynhwysydd wedi'i selio. Trowir y dhvaja yn ysgafn i'w ddatgysylltu o'r gadwyn, fel y gellir gosod eitemau megis cudyn o wallt, ysgrythurau neu lythyrau y tu mewn. Mae'r dyluniad gwrth-ddŵr yn caniatáu ei wisgo dros gyfnod hir.
