JADEITE AND DIAMOND NECKLACE

Composed of twenty-two graduated translucent oval jadeite cabochons of emerald green colour, each within frames of conforming shape highlighted by brilliant-cut diamonds, spaced by oval diamonds, suspending a similarly-set detachable pendant, mounted in 18 karat white gold, length approximately 410mm.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the jadeite cabochons are generally matching in colour and translucency, of emerald green colour with fine texture. Under strong illumination, there are a few dark inclusions and clouds, but not noticeable in normal lighting. Diamonds together weighing approximately 16.25 carats, are E to F colours, VS clarity. Pendant on necklace is detachable. Condition: Well articulated links, sitting well on neck, in very good condition.
