About Moshabak Singsing

Ang Moshabak ay isang singsing na inspirasyon mula sa mga reticular lattice screen ng mga lumang bahay-Persiano. Isinusuot ang singsing sa daliri at ibinabaling patungo sa liwanag, kung kaya't ang bukas na disenyo nito ay naghahagis ng mga anino at guhit sa kamay. Ang hugis nito ay balanse at magaan dalhin. Ang mga ergonomic na arko sa magkabilang panig ay dumidikit sa mga karatig-daliri para sa ginhawa. Ang disenyo ay ginawang modelo gamit ang three-dimensional software, ini-print sa wax, at hinulma sa 18 karat na dilaw na ginto na may mataas na kintab na mirror finish. Gumawa rin ng mga bersyon sa rose gold at pilak.
