Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the two carved jadeites are matching, of strong yellow-orange colour with celadon tone background. Both have good translucency. Upon close look, there are some white clouds in the celadon tone jadeite plaques, not seen when worn.
Condition: Nice craftsmanship and well use of the two-tone colour layers, overall in very good condition.
