This body is haven't done yet. I need to repeal the lacquer on the carved part to bring out the dragon and clouds.

So that you can see this 1 carat's saphire clearly in contrast.

This baby has fly with MAS to Terengganu after the day he start call me "Papa"... it was going to Redang Beach party to scream...
