Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, all icy jadeite cabochons are of similar quality, very translucent to almost semi-transparent. Some minor clouds may show against illumination, but generally not seen in normal distance or when worn. Diamonds altogether weighing approximately 1.80 carats, are of H to I colours, SI clarity. Two brooches can be worn as pendants.
Condition: Adorable and versatile design, all in mint condition.
