Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the jadeite peapods are highly translucent to almost semi-transparent, of various hues, names icy, soft honey yellow and apple green colours. Under strong lighting, there are white cloud inclusions, which are not noticeable in normal distance. Four little round jadeite cabochons and "leaf" are of similar, translucent rich emerald green colour. An oval jadeite cabochon is of highly translucent, strong brownish orange colour. Diamonds are probably of F to G colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Pendant fitting to the reverse, can be worn as pendant. Pleasing colour combination, overall in mint condition.
