Homa Dual Purpose Ring

Homa Dual Purpose Ring

Homa Dual Purpose Ring is an innovative piece of transformable jewelry that seamlessly transitions between a ring and a necklace, embodying both functional versatility and artistic excellence in contemporary jewelry design. Created by Iranian designer Mehdi Moazzen, this sophisticated piece draws its inspiration from Persian mythology, where Homa represents the fusion of Hu (The Creator) and Maya (Prime Material of Everything), symbolizing the Creator of the Universe. Crafted from 18K gold and adorned with synthetic and atomic blue ruby, this dual-purpose artwork features an ingenious rail mechanism based on train wheel engineering principles, enabling smooth transformation between its two wearable states. The design incorporates an elastic inner ring that accommodates various finger sizes, while a discrete locking mechanism beneath ensures secure positioning in ring mode. The piece's dimensions of 33 mm x 36 mm x 33 mm and weight of 21.780 grams have been carefully calculated to maintain comfort and wearability in both configurations. This transformable jewelry piece represents a significant innovation in contemporary jewelry design, challenging traditional boundaries between different types of adornments while maintaining functionality and aesthetic appeal. The design's cultural significance is enhanced by its connection to Persian literature and mythology, where Homa symbolizes splendor and good fortune. The piece received recognition for its innovative design and craftsmanship, earning the Silver A' Design Award in the Jewelry Design category, acknowledging its contribution to advancing the boundaries of jewelry design through its unique dual-functionality concept and sophisticated engineering solutions.
