Condition
Colour and Clarity: Accompanied by a gem report stating that the jadeite is natural, type A jadeite. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the jadeite "buddha hand" is of medium to rich, emerald green colour, in very fine translucency. Upon illumination, there are some white spots and cloud inclusions, which are not seen in normal lighting. The marquise-shaped cabochon in the surmount is of similar colour and quality. The only round diamond weighs approximately 0.05 carat, H to I colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Simple pendant mount, in very good condition.
