Condition

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the jadeite beads are translucent and matching, of soft apple green colour. The beads appear slightly cloudy upon close and careful look, but not seen from distance or when worn. The jadeite beads on necklace are of desirable graduation and nice size range, 13.55 to 15.05mm. Diamonds set on clasp and earring tops are probably of F to G colours, VS2 to SI clarity. Condition: Classic bead necklace and drop earrings, both in mint condition.
