Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the carved jadeites have fine translucency, of medium to rich emerald green colour. Upon close check, there are some minor white clouds to the side on one piece, not noticeable to naked eyes. Two cultured pearls are of matching, white colour with rosé overtone, very good lustre, very minor surface blemishes which are observed upon close and careful check. Diamonds are probably of E to F colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Unique piece with tasteful look, the carving is fragile and careful handling is recommended. In perfect condition.
