Condition

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, two jadeite peapods mounted in open-back setting are of matching, very fine translucent bright emerald green colour. Under strong illumination, there are some minor cloud inclusions, which are not seen in normal lighting. Diamonds altogether weighing approximately 7.25 carats. Diamond briolettes are mostly of G to H colours, with one or two pieces of I to J, VS2 to SI clarity. Other tiny round diamonds are of similar but slightly better colour and clarity. Condition: The diamond tops are well articulated gives a lively contrast with pair of jadeite peapods, in mint condition.
