- Diameter and thickness of hoops approximately 17.90 x 6.15 to 18.85 x 6.60mm; green and orange jadeite cabochons approximately 7.28 x 5.94 x 3.80 and 8.40 x 7.62 x 3.40mm respectively.

Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the icy jadeite double-hoops are almost pure colourless with nice glow, with only a few tiny patches of dark green colour, which are observed upon close look. Under illumination, there are some white spots, but not seen in normal lighting. The hoops have nice thickness and size. Jadeite cabochons set in the surmounts are fine translucent, of strong green and intense brownish orange colours. Diamonds are about G to H colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Nice colour combination, in mint condition.
