Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Jade Testing Certificate, both the black jadeite 'Guanyin' and black jadeite cabochon are natural, Type A Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, both black jadeites are semi-translucent, showing very dark green colour at periphery upon strong illumination. The small jadeite cabochon on pendant and two jadeites on ring are medium to strong emerald green colour, with good translucency. Diamonds altogether weighing approximately 0.50 carat, are about H to I colours, VS clarity.
Condition: The 'guanyin' has a very serene facial expression, nice craftsmanship. Both are in mint condition.
