Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to Jadeite Testing Certificate, both the jadeite and icy jadeite "Buddhas" are natural, type A Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the jadeite buddha is translucent, of medium, slightly deep emerald green colour. The icy jadeite buddha is highly translucent, of slightly milky tone. Upon illumination, both pendants have some white clouds, not seen in normal lighting. Diamonds on the jadeite Buddha pendant weighing approximately 0.40 carat, are about H to I colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Traditional and classic jadeite carving pendants, both in very good condition.
