About Homa Unazë, Gjerdan

Homa është një unazë me dy funksione që mund të mbahet edhe si gjerdan. Copa është prej ari 18K dhe e stolisur me rubin blu sintetik. Unaza e brendshme është elastike, kështu që unaza mund të përshtatet sipas madhësisë së gishtit të mbajtësit. Një mekanizëm shinash, i bazuar në rrotat e trenit, lejon që unaza të shndërrohet në gjerdan. Një bllokues i thjeshtë poshtë copës e mban formën në vend kur unaza mbahet në gisht. Dizajni i jep mbajtësit mundësinë e zgjedhjes së funksionit dhe një ndërveprim të drejtpërdrejtë me objektin. Emri Homa i referohet zogut të lumturisë në letërsinë persiane.
