About Homa Yüzük, Kolye

Homa, kolye olarak da takılabilen çift işlevli bir yüzüktür. Parça 18 ayar altından üretilmiş ve sentetik mavi yakut ile bezenmiştir. İç halka esnek olduğundan yüzük, takan kişinin parmak ölçüsüne göre ayarlanabilir. Tren tekerleklerinden esinlenen bir ray mekanizması, yüzüğün kolyeye dönüştürülmesine olanak tanır. Parçanın altındaki basit bir kilit, yüzük parmakta takılıyken formu sabit tutar. Tasarım, kullanıcıya işlev seçme özgürlüğü ve nesneyle doğrudan bir etkileşim sunar. Homa ismi, Pers edebiyatındaki mutluluk kuşuna göndermede bulunur.
