Description

  • Beads approximately 7.90 to 10.65mm.
Composed of sixty-one translucent jadeite beads of rich emerald green colour, completed by a diamond-set ball clasp, mounted in 18 karat white gold, length approximately 630mm.

Condition

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the jadeite beads are of even, fine translucent rich green colour. Generally all jadeite beads are matching in colour and have a nice graduated size. There are some slight clouds in the jadeite beads under strong illumination, but all are not noticeable in normal lighting and not seen when worn. Diamonds on the ball clasp are probably of G to H colours, VS clarity. One small diamond deficient. Condition: Classic jadeite bead necklace, in mint condition.
