Description
- Leaves approximately 24.05 x 11.45 x 3.67 and 24.75 x 11.85 x 3.50 mm.
Each suspending a highly translucent carved jadeite leaf of rich emerald green colour, edged by brilliant-cut diamonds, surmounted by a rose-cut diamond and briolette diamonds, mounted in 18 karat white gold.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the jadeite 'leafs' are matching, of highly translucent, brilliant emerald green colour. Upon strong illumination, there are some clouds and a few dark spots, which are generally not seen in normal lighting or when worn. Brilliant- and rose-cut diamonds are of about H to I colours, VS clarity. Briolette diamonds are probably of I to J colours, SI clarity.
Condition: Simple but very elegant pair of earrings, in mint condition.
