The Design

About Homa Žiedas, vėrinys

„Homa“ – tai dvigubos paskirties žiedas, kurį taip pat galima nešioti kaip vėrinį. Dirbinys pagamintas iš 18 karatų aukso ir puoštas sintetiniu mėlynu rubinu. Vidinis žiedas yra elastingas, todėl žiedą galima pritaikyti prie nešiojančiojo piršto dydžio. Bėgelinis mechanizmas, sukurtas pagal traukinio ratų principą, leidžia žiedą paversti vėriniu. Paprastas fiksatorius po dirbiniu išlaiko formą vietoje, kai žiedas nešiojamas ant piršto. Dizainas suteikia nešiojančiajam galimybę pasirinkti funkciją ir tiesiogiai sąveikauti su objektu. Pavadinimas „Homa“ persų literatūroje reiškia palaimos paukštį.
