The Design

About Homa Singsing, Kwintas

Ang Homa ay isang singsing na may dalawang gamit na maaari ring isuot bilang kwintas. Ang piyesa ay gawa sa 18K na ginto at may nakalagay na synthetic na asul na rubi. Ang panloob na bahagi ng singsing ay nababanat, kaya maaaring iakma ang singsing sa sukat ng daliri ng nagsusuot. Isang mekanismong rail, batay sa mga gulong ng tren, ang nagbibigay-daan upang mabago ang singsing tungo sa isang kwintas. Isang simpleng kandado sa ilalim ng piyesa ang humahawak sa anyo nito kapag isinusuot ang singsing sa daliri. Ang disenyo ay nagbibigay sa nagsusuot ng pagpipilian sa gamit at isang tuwirang pakikipag-ugnayan sa bagay. Ang pangalang Homa ay tumutukoy sa ibon ng kaligayahan sa panitikang Persian.
