Jadeite and Diamond Ring; and Icy Jadeite 'Huaigu' and Gem-set 'Parrot' Ring

The first ring centring on an oval jadeite cabochon of translucent apple green material, surrounded and decorated by circular-cut diamonds and diamond briolettes together weighing approximately 1.50 carats, mounted in 18 karat white gold; and the second ring designed as two opposing parrots anchoring an icy jadeite huaigu, the parrots pavé-set with circular-cut coloured sapphires, tsavorite garnets and diamonds together weighing approximately 3.60 carats, accented by onyx-set eyes and beaks, mounted in 18 karat blackened gold.

Colour and Clarity: According to Jadeite Jade Testing Certificates, both the jadeite cabochon and icy jadeite 'hauigu' are natural, Type "A" Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the certificates for details. In our opinion, the jadeite cabochon on one ring have good translucency, of slightly patchy soft emerald green colour, with cloud inclusions under illumination and not noticeable in normal lighting. Tiny diamonds are about G to I colours, mostly VS clarity. Icy jadeite 'hauigu' on another ring is translucent, with white cloud inclusions upon transmitted lighting, but not seen in normal lighting. Tiny coloured gems are of medium soft to intense blue, intense grass green, medium purplish pink and red colour, eye clean. Diamonds are probably of H to I colours, VS clarity. Condition: These two rings are offered without reserve. Signs of wear, particularly to the shank of icy jadeite "Bird" ring, overall both in good condition.
