Condition

Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Jade Testing Certificate, both the jadeite and black jadeite beads are natural, Type A Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the jadeite beads are quite matching, of translucent strong apple green to soft emerald green colour. Upon close check, there are natural cloud inclusions, but not noticeable when worn. The black jadeite beads are opaque and black throughout. Tiny diamonds are about H to I colours, VS clarity. Condition: Elegant bead necklace, in very good condition.
