Condition

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the carved jadeite 'leaf' is translucent, of intense emerald green colour. Upon illumination, there are cloud inclusions, not seen in normal lighting. Other jadeite cabochons set to the bottom are of similar colour and translucency. Diamonds together weighing approximately 1.15 carats, are about G to H colours, VS clarity. Two small cabochon rubies together weighing approximately 0.50 carat, are medium red colour, eye clean. Condition: In mint condition.
