Description

  • Diameter and thickness huaigus approximately 19.10 and 3.10mm respectively.

Condition

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the two jadeite huaigu are of even and matching, rich green colour, with very fine translucency. Upon close inspection with strong illumination, they may show some cloud inclusions, but all are not seen from distance or when worn. The diamonds altogether weighing approximately 1.70 carats, probably of F to G colours, VS clarity. Condition: Classic shape with fashionable and elegant design, in mint condition.
