About The Dome Ring

It ûntwerp nimt syn ynspiraasje út de unike kombinaasje fan Grykske, Romeinske, Bizantynske en Ottomaanske arsjitektuer. De Koepel-ring is sa unyk yn syn ûntwerp dat it in moderne ynterpretaasje is fan de ferneamde koepels fan de Hagia Sophia. It ûntwerp is it resultaat fan it PhD-ûndersyk dat Fatma Altinbas twa jier lang yn de Grand Bazaar útfierd hat oer de skiednis fan sieradenproduksje yn dit gebiet. De Koepel-ring is makke fan 18-karaats rôzegoud en fersierd mei yn totaal 0,22 karaat diamanten fan G-kleur en VS1-helderheid, sawol oan de binnen- as bûtenkant.
