Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the jadeite pieces on brooch have similar quality and good translucency, of soft emerald green colour. The jadeite cabochon on ring is of slightly more intense hue. Upon illumination, all jadeites show some clouds and a few may have dark spots, which are not seen normal lighting. Diamonds on brooch are probably of H to I colours, ring are G to H colours, overall in VS clarity.
Condition: The ring can be worn as pendant. Overall in very good condition, almost as new.
