The Design

About Homa Cincin, Kalung

Homa adalah cincin serbaguna yang juga dapat dikenakan sebagai kalung. Karya ini terbuat dari emas 18K dan dihiasi batu rubi biru sintetis. Lingkaran bagian dalamnya bersifat elastis, sehingga ukuran cincin dapat disesuaikan dengan jari pemakainya. Sebuah mekanisme rel, yang terinspirasi dari roda kereta api, memungkinkan cincin ini diubah menjadi kalung. Kunci sederhana di bagian bawah karya ini menahan bentuknya tetap pada tempatnya saat cincin dikenakan di jari. Rancangan ini memberi pemakainya kebebasan memilih fungsi serta interaksi langsung dengan objeknya. Nama Homa merujuk pada burung pembawa kebahagiaan dalam kesusastraan Persia.
