Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Jade Testing Certificate, the jadeite double-hoops are natural, Type A Jadeite Jade. Two oval diamonds are D and E colours, VS1 and VVS1 clarity respectively. Other two pear-shaped diamonds are both E colour, VS1 and VS2 clarity respectively. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the jadeite double-hoops are of matching, highly translucent, strong emerald-green colour. Upon strong illumination, there are some natural clouds, not seen in normal lighting or when worn. The oval and pear-shaped diamonds have nice outline and good brilliance, very lively stones.
Condition: Pair of classic double-hoop earrings, in mint condition.
