Condition

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the lavender jadeite beads are of matching colour to naked eyes, overall translucent, of medium strong, purple colour. Upon close look, there are white clouds, but noticeable when worn. The cabochon rubies are of intense red colour, eye clean. Diamonds are probably of I to J colours, SI clarity. Condition: Overall in very good condition.
