PAIR OF JADEITE, YELLOW SAPPHIRE AND DIAMOND PENDENT EARRINGS; AND JADEITE AND DIAMOND RING

The pendent earrings each suspending on an oval jadeite cabochon of emerald green colour and good translucency, surmounted by an oval yellow sapphire and a rose-cut diamond; and a ring centring on a translucent oval jadeite cabochon of emerald green colour, to a frame pavé-set with circular-cut diamonds extending to the shoulders; the diamonds and yellow sapphires altogether weighing approximately 2.50 and 3.00 carats respectively, mounted in 18 karat white gold.

Colour and Clarity: According to Jadeite Jade Testing Certificates, the jadeite cabochons on the ring and earrings are natural, Type A Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the certificate for details. In our opinion, the jadeite cabochons have good translucency, of emerald green colour. Upon strong illumination, all jadeites have some natural inclusions, but not seen in normal lighting. The yellow sapphires are of intense yellow colour, clean to naked eyes and lively. Diamonds are about F to G colours, VS to SI clarity. Condition: Karat gold and white gold mounts, all in very good condition.
