SUPERB JADEITE AND DIAMOND NECKLACE

The articulated necklace centring on six jadeite cabochons of highly translucent brilliant emerald green colour, encircled by oval diamonds, spaced by oval and marquise-shaped diamond clusters, completed by double diamond-set links highlighted by five jadeite cabochons of matching colour and translucency, mounted in 18 karat white gold, length approximately 405mm.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, all jadeite cabochons are highly translucent, of brilliant emerald green colour. Under illumination, there are a few tiny dark inclusions and slight clouds. The cabochons are generally well matching, of nice shape and good thickness, particularly to the larger stones in the front. All diamonds are probably of E to F colours, VVS to VS1 clarity, lively stones. Condition: Classic and elegant necklace with very fine workmanship, in mint condition.
