Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the jadeite gourds are well matched, of bright emerald green colour, in very fine translucency. Under strong illumination and careful look, there are a few tiny dark spots and brownish cloud inclusions, but are generally not seen in normal lighting and when worn. Diamonds are mostly F to G colours, VS clarity, but a few may be of H and SI1, altogether the diamonds weighing approximately 19.10 carats.
Condition: Simple and classic settings with flexible links, fit very well on, overall in mint condition.
