Composed of oval jadeite cabochons of very good translucency and emerald green colour, embellished with cabochon rubies and sapphires, decorated by circular-cut and baguette diamonds, mounted in 18 karat blackened gold, inner circumference approximately 165mm.

Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Testing Certificate, the jadeite cabochon is natural, Type "A" Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the certificate for details. In our opinion, the jadeite cabochons are translucent, of medium intense to intense emerald green colour. Upon strong illumination and close check, there are tiny black spots and cloud inclusions, surface reaching on one cabochon, but not noticeable in normal lighting. Diamonds together weighing approximately 7.20 carats, are about G to I colours, VS to SI clarity. Cabochon rubies and sapphires together weighing approximately 6.00 and 6.15 carats, of deep purplish red and intense blue colour respectively, eye clean. Upon 10x loupe, there are natural inclusions, with surface reaching or fissures, but generally not noticeable to nake eyes.Condition: Karat blackened gold mount, overall in very good condition.
