Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the two jadeite cabochon are well matched, of rich emerald green colour with fine translucency. Under strong illumination, there are darker green cloud inclusions particularly to the side, which are not noticeable in normal lighting and not seen when worn. Overall, both cabochons show a striking green hue. Two pear-shaped diamonds are certified by GIA, of E colour and SI1 clarity. Please refer to the reports for details. Other smaller oval and marquise diamonds are probably of similar colour and VS clarity.
Condition: Jadeite cabochon pendants are detachable. The earrings are in mint condition.
