Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Jade Testing Certificate, the carved jadeite 'melons' are natural, type A jadeite jade. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the two jadeite 'melons' have very fine translucency, of matching, bright and soft emerald green colour. Upon close look, there are white clouds and one jade has a few tiny dark spots, which are not seen when worn. The icy jadeites are semi-transparent to highly translucent. The red jadeite triple-hoops have good translucency, of orange-red colour. In our opinion, both the icy and red jadeites are of type A quality. The carved tourmalines are of multi-colours, including strong lemon yellow, deep purple pink and medium olive green; slightly included to naked eyes.
Condition: A colourful pendant necklace, in very good condition.
