Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to the HK Jade & Stone Laboratory Report, the jadeite "ginseng" is natural, type A jadeite jade. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the carved jadeite pendant is translucent, in celadon tone suffused with small patches of bright yellow and apple green colours. Upon close look, there are cloudy inclusions. Brilliant-cut rubies on pendant and ruby beads on chain necklace are intense red colour, eye clean and translucent clarity respectively. The black jadeite bead on pendant is opaque and appears very dark green upon strong illumination. Diamonds together weighing approximately 0.60 carat, are probably of H to I colours, VS to SI clarity.
Condition: Overall, both the pendant and chain necklace are in very good condition.
