About Moshabak Inel

Moshabak este un inel inspirat de ecranele reticulare din zăbrele ale caselor vechi persane. Inelul este purtat pe deget și rotit spre lumină, astfel încât modelul deschis proiectează umbre și tipare pe mână. Forma este echilibrată și ușoară ca greutate. Arcadele ergonomice de pe ambele părți se sprijină pe degetele vecine pentru confort. Designul a fost modelat în software tridimensional, imprimat în ceară și turnat în aur galben de 18 karate, cu o finisare lustruită oglindă. Sunt produse și versiuni din aur roz și argint.
