Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the jadeite cabochons on both the necklace and pair of earclips are matching, of intense emerald green colour, in very fine translucency. Under strong illumination, there some minor cloud inclusions, which are not seen in normal lighting. Diamonds are probably of E to F colours, VVS2 to VS clarity.
Condition: Classic elegant design, in very good condition.
