BLACK JADEITE, JADEITE AND DIAMOND PENDANT

The black jadeite circle highlighted by two swirl motifs set with brilliant-cut diamonds, suspending from a diamond-set sphere accented with six jadeite cabochons, anchored by a similarly-set sphere and diamond tassel, accompanied by a black cord with a diamond-set rondelle, mounted in 18 karat white gold, maximum length approximately 700mm.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the black jadeite circle is opaque and appears pure black to naked eyes under normal lighting. Tiny jadeite cabochons are probably of very fine translucent, medium to intense emerald green colour. Diamonds together weighing approximately 1.60 carats, are probably of G to H colours, VS2 to SI clarity. Condition: Fine workmanship with fashionable design, in mint condition.
