About Homa Gredzens, Kaklarota

Homa ir divējāda lietojuma gredzens, ko var valkāt arī kā kaklarotu. Priekšmets ir izgatavots no 18K zelta un rotāts ar sintētisku zilu rubīnu. Iekšējais gredzens ir elastīgs, tāpēc gredzenu var pielāgot valkātāja pirksta izmēram. Sliežu mehānisms, kas balstīts uz vilciena riteņu principa, ļauj gredzenu pārveidot par kaklarotu. Vienkāršs slēdzis zem priekšmeta notur formu vietā, kad gredzens tiek valkāts uz pirksta. Dizains sniedz valkātājam iespēju izvēlēties funkciju un tiešu mijiedarbību ar objektu. Nosaukums Homa attiecas uz svētlaimes putnu persiešu literatūrā.
