TAGS: Ring, Necklace, Dual purpose, Gold, Jewelry RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The Homa has a special role in Persian Miniature and Mythology used as a symbol of beauty and grace, in current design. This piece is designed to be a practical dual purpose artwork, changing from a ring to a necklace. Since the inner ring is elastic, it can be adjusted based on the size of user’s finger. A rail mechanism, based on train wheels, is devised to turn the ring to a necklace. CHALLENGE: The hardest part of design of this artwork was to design this piece to be a practical dual-purpose artwork. Choosing a rail mechanism, based on train wheels, to turn the ring to a necklace was a creative part of design. Moreover, making the changeable and moveable part of ring just by hand, not by special machine, was too difficult.
