Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to the HK Jade and Stone Laboratory report, the jadeite 'Guanyin' is natural, "Type A" jadeite. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the jadeite pendant has good translucency, of even, medium emerald-green colour. Upon illumination, there are some cloud inclusions and a few tiny dark spots close to the shoulder area, but these internal features are not seen when worn. Diamonds are probably of H colour, VS to SI clarity. Accompanied by link chain.
Condition: Traditional jadeite carving subject, the 'Guanyin' has a serene face, overall in very good condition.
