Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the two jadeite huai-gus are well matching, of translucent, intense apple green colour. Under strong illumination, there are a few white clouds but not seen in normal lighting. Surmounted round diamonds weighing approixmately 0.85 carat each, are probably of F colour, VS clarity. Diamond-set surmounts are detachable.
Condition: Pendant of traditional shape, both in mint condition.
