Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the jadeite beads and cabochons are generally matching, of deep celadon tone in fine translucency. Some jadeite beads have visible brownish veins or patches, but mostly to the back and not noticeable when worn. Two round jadeite cabochons show white clouds under illumination. Overall, the diamonds are of lightly tinted colour, SI to I clarity.
Condition: Signs of wear to the clasp and earring mounts, consistent with age, otherwise in good condition.
