About Homa Ringo, Koliero

Homa estas duobla-uza ringo, kiu ankaŭ povas esti portata kiel koliero. La peco estas farita el 18-karata oro kaj garnita per sinteza blua rubeno. La interna ringo estas elasta, do la ringo povas esti alĝustigita al la grandeco de la fingro de la portanto. Rela mekanismo, bazita sur trajnaj radoj, ebligas ŝanĝi la ringon en kolieron. Simpla seruro sub la peco tenas la formon fiksita kiam la ringo estas portata sur la fingro. La dezajno donas al la portanto la elekton de funkcio kaj rektan interagon kun la objekto. La nomo Homa aludas al la birdo de feliĉego en persa literaturo.
