About Homa Cincin, Rantai Leher

Homa ialah cincin dwifungsi yang juga boleh dipakai sebagai rantai leher. Karya ini diperbuat daripada emas 18K dan ditatah dengan batu delima biru sintetik. Gelang dalamannya bersifat elastik, jadi cincin ini boleh dilaraskan mengikut saiz jari pemakainya. Mekanisme rel, berdasarkan roda kereta api, membolehkan cincin ini ditukar menjadi rantai leher. Kunci mudah di bawah karya ini memegang bentuknya pada tempatnya apabila cincin dipakai pada jari. Reka bentuk ini memberikan pemakai pilihan fungsi dan interaksi langsung dengan objek tersebut. Nama Homa merujuk kepada burung kebahagiaan dalam kesusasteraan Parsi.
