Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the icy jadeite gourd set on ring is semi-transparent with milky glow from within. Under illumination, there are white clouds which are common for icy jadeite and not noticeable when worn. Little jadeites are translucent, of bright green colour. Pink sapphires are of intense to deep purplish pink hue, eye clean. Diamonds are probably of G to H colours, VS to SI1 clarity. Generally the pair of matching earrings are of similar quality.
Condition: Adorable settings, all in mint condition.
