Description
- Jadeite plaques approximately 9.51 x 3.21 x 2.30 to 16.66 x 11.36 x 3.21 mm.
Carved as a flower bouquet set with twenty translucent emerald green jadeite plaques, decorated by ribbon scrolls set with old mine-cut diamonds, mounted in white metal.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the jadeite plaques are generally well-matched, of fine translucent, medium dark green colour. Upon strong illumination, there are some cloud inclusions which are not noticeable in normal lighting. Diamonds are probably of J to K colours, SI clarity, lively stones.
Condition: Vintage piece which shows slight tarnishing to the reverse of the mount, normal abrasions and signs of wear consistent to its age and use, overall in good condition.
