JADEITE AND DIAMOND NECKLACE

Set to the front as a floral garland composed of thirty-eight oval jadeite cabochons of intense emerald green colour and fine translucency, decorated with scrolls and links set with marquise-shaped and brilliant-cut diamonds, completed by a similarly-set necklace, mounted in 18 karat white gold, length approximately 435 mm.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the jadeite cabochons have fine to very fine translucency, of intense emerald green colour. Upon strong illumination and careful look, there are some white cloud inclusions, but not seen in normal lighting. Diamonds are generally of G colour, VS clarity, the diamonds together weighing approximately 8.00 carats. Condition: Overall the necklace in very good condition, almost as new.
