Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, all jadeite cabochons are matching, of bright and strong emerald green colour. Upon illumination and close inspection, some cabochons may show minor and fine brownish texture lines, which are not noticeable to naked eyes in normal distance. The diamonds are of about H to I colours, VS to SI clarity. Cabochon rubies and sapphires are of very strong red and medium blue colours respectively, overall eye clean with nice glow but minor surface pits under 10x check.
Condition: Attractive and joyful colour combination, both the necklace and earrings are in mint condition.
