About Homa Fáinne, Muince

Is fáinne dhá-fheidhmiúil é Homa ar féidir é a chaitheamh mar mhuince freisin. Tá an píosa déanta as ór 18K agus tá rúibín gorm sintéiseach curtha isteach ann. Tá an fáinne istigh leaisteach, mar sin is féidir an fáinne a choigeartú de réir méid mhéar an chaiteora. Ligeann meicníocht ráille, atá bunaithe ar rothaí traenach, don fháinne a athrú go muince. Coinníonn glas simplí faoin bpíosa an fhoirm ina háit nuair a chaitear an fáinne ar an mhéar. Tugann an dearadh rogha feidhme don chaiteoir agus idirghníomhaíocht dhíreach leis an réad. Tagraíonn an t-ainm Homa d'éan an aoibhnis i litríocht na Peirse.
