Condition
Colour and Clarity: The jadeite huaigus are of rich emerald green colour. The smaller jadeite cabochon is also of rich emerald green colour and with good translucency. There are some clouds and natural inclusions under strong penlight. The larger jadeite cabochon has a flat dome with mottled white clouds/natural inclusions, semi translucent. The diamonds are probably G-I clarity, mostly SI clarity.
Condition: Tarnishing to the metals which can be easily polished. In good condition but would suggest to tighten the prongs or remount the larger jadeite ring.
