JADEITE AND DIAMOND BROOCH

Set with a translucent rich green oval jadeite plaque carved with floral motifs, bordered by brilliant-cut diamonds, accented by baguette and brilliant-cut diamond scrolls, mounted in platinum.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the carved jadeite plaque is of thin cutting, in translucent rich green colour. Under strong illumination, there are a few minor white patches which are not noticeable in normal lighting. Single-cut and baguette diamonds are mostly of E to F colours, but two to three stones are tinted yellow, overall in VS to SI clarity. Condition: Traditional carving and brooch setting, overall in very good condition.
