Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Jade Testing Certificates, the jadeite cabochons are natural colour jadeite jade (Type A) without any resin. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the jadeite cabochons have good translucency, of medium to strong emerald green colour. Upon illumination, there are some brownish clouds, not noticeable in normal lighting. Diamonds are probably of E to F colours, VS clarity altogether weighing approximately 4.70 carats.
Condition: The ring shank is detachable with a retractable pendant loop, which the ring can be worn as a separate pendant. Minor signs of wear to the ring shank, otherwise in very good condition, in particular to the earrings, good as new.
