The craftsman says he inherited his artistic skills from his father: "My father taught me the skill as he wants to keep alive the art form by passing it on to the next generation."

The small silver ring has engravings of all the eight wonders: Taj Mahal, Sydney Opera House, Statue of Liberty, Great Wall of China, Eiffel Tower, Big Ben, Leaning Tower of Pisa and Egyptian Pyramids.

Earlier, on an 8.6 gm ring, he had engraved the Indian camel safari during sunset, various Indian monuments, gods and goddesses and temples.

He has gifted an exclusive locket to President APJ Abdul Kalam.
