Description

  • Peaches approximately 21.70 x 12.05 x 6.08 and 22.55 x 12.40 x 5.84 mm.
Each suspending a highly translucent jadeite peach carving of emerald green colour, accented by pavĂ©-set with brilliant-cut yellow diamonds, surmounted by a similarly-set flame motif, accentuated with oval tsavorite garnets, joined by brilliant-cut diamond-set hoops, mounted in yellow titanium. 

Condition

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the pair of jadeite peaches have very good translucency, of about medium to medium strong emerald green colour. Upon illumination, there are some clouds and tiny dark spots which are generally not noticeable in normal lighting. Diamonds are probably of G to H colours, VS clarity. Yellow diamonds are of intense saturation, SI clarity. The oval tsavorites garnets set in the surmounts are of medium to medium strong grass green colour, eye clean. Signed "Wallace Chan" to the reverse of the surmounts. Condition: Very delicate mount of unusual and fashionable design, with tiny diamonds and seed pearls set even up to the ear backs. Part of the metal is slightly dis-coloured, but only noticeable under 10x check. Overall in very good condition.
