Description
- Marquise-shaped cabochons approximately 11.30 x 4.00 to 11.40 x 4.65mm; and triangular cabochons approximately 12.20 x 6.22mm.
Each set with four highly translucent marquise-shaped jadeite cabochons and a triangular jadeite cabochon of intense emerald green colour, amid a surround of rose-cut and brilliant-cut diamonds, suspending tassels composed of similarly-cut diamonds, mounted in 18 karat white gold.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the jadeites are of matching, deep green colour with good translucency. Under strong illumination, there are a few dark spots and cloud inclusions, which are not seen in normal lighting. Diamonds are probably of F to G colours, VS clarity (for most of the brilliant-cut diamonds) and VS to SI clarity (for rose-cut diamonds). Diamonds altogether weighing approximately 2.95 carats.
Condition: Earring tops are slightly articulated giving a nice flow of glamour, overall in mint condition.
