About Homa Ċurkett, Ġiżirana

Homa huwa ċurkett b'użu doppju li jista' jintlibes ukoll bħala ġiżirana. Il-biċċa hija magħmula minn deheb ta' 18K u mżejna b'rubin blu sintetiku. Iċ-ċurkett ta' ġewwa huwa elastiku, għalhekk iċ-ċurkett jista' jiġi aġġustat għad-daqs tas-saba' ta' min jilbsu. Mekkaniżmu ta' binarju, ibbażat fuq ir-roti tal-ferrovija, jippermetti li ċ-ċurkett jinbidel f'ġiżirana. Serratura sempliċi taħt il-biċċa żżomm il-forma f'postha meta ċ-ċurkett jintlibes fuq is-saba'. Id-disinn jagħti lil min jilbsu l-għażla tal-funzjoni u interazzjoni diretta mal-oġġett. L-isem Homa jirreferi għall-għasfur tal-hena fil-letteratura Persjana.
