Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Jade Testing Certificates, both jadeite saddle rings are natural, type A jadeite jade. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the two jadeite saddle rings are very well matched and have fine translucency, celadon ring shank with bright emerald green saddle top. Upon close check, there are some tiny dark spots on the saddles, but not noticeable to naked eyes.
Condition: The saddle rings are vintage, probably dated Republican period, overall in very good condition.
