Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the two bell-shaped jadeites are of matching, bright emerald green colour, with fine translucency and texture. There is only very minor cloud inclusions under strong illumination, but not seen in normal lighting. The pear-shaped diamonds are probably of E to F colours, VVS2 to VS1 clarity, altogether weighing approximately 2.25 carats. Two marquise diamonds are of about deep yellow colour, VS and SI1 clarity respectively, altogether weighing approximately 0.70 carat. The SI yellow diamond shows an indented natural on its crown under 10x loupe, but not seen to naked eyes. Both signed and numbered.
Condition: Both jadeites have very pleasing colour and desirable thickness, in an elegant mount, of very good condition.
