The Design

About The Dome Ring

Designen hämtar sin inspiration från den unika blandningen av grekisk, romersk, bysantinsk och osmansk arkitektur. Dome-ringen är unik i sin design och utgör en modern tolkning av de berömda kupolerna i Hagia Sofia. Designen är ett resultat av den doktorandsforskning som Fatma Altinbas bedrev i Stora Bazaren under 2 år, om historien kring smyckestillverkning i området. Dome-ringen är tillverkad i 18-karats roséguld och prydd med totalt 0,22 karat diamanter i färgen G och klarheten VS1, både på insidan och utsidan.
