About Homa Modrwy, Mwclis

Mae Homa yn fodrwy deubwrpas y gellir ei gwisgo hefyd fel mwclis. Mae'r darn wedi'i wneud o aur 18K ac wedi'i osod â rhuddem las synthetig. Mae'r fodrwy fewnol yn elastig, felly gellir addasu'r fodrwy i faint bys y gwisgwr. Mae mecanwaith cledr, sy'n seiliedig ar olwynion trên, yn caniatáu i'r fodrwy gael ei newid yn fwclis. Mae clo syml o dan y darn yn dal y ffurf yn ei le pan wisgir y fodrwy ar y bys. Mae'r cynllun yn rhoi'r dewis o swyddogaeth i'r gwisgwr a rhyngweithiad uniongyrchol â'r gwrthrych. Mae'r enw Homa yn cyfeirio at aderyn dedwyddwch mewn llenyddiaeth Bersiaidd.
