Your looking at one of Colin Davidson’s best finished products

We were lucky to stumble across this little gem. The art works are stunning, the workmanship absolutely incredible. To top this off, when we walked in we were greeted warmly and given a vast amount of knowledge of the local jade trade and Colin’s process. It was our honor to purchase a beautiful piece while here and it is now a prized possession.
