JADEITE AND DIAMOND 'HUAIGU' PENDANT

The translucent jadeite huaigu of emerald green colour, centring on a brilliant-cut diamond, framed and surmounted by brilliant-cut diamonds, mounted in 18 karat white gold, accompanied by a white gold chain, length approximately 450mm.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the jadeite huaigu has very good translucency, of soft emerald green colour. Upon illumination, the huaigu has clouds and a few minor brownish inclusions, which are not seen in normal distance. Diamonds together weighing approximately 0.50 carat, are probably of G to H colours, VS to SI1 clarity. Condition: Signs of wear, otherwise in very good condition.
