Description
- Guan Yin approximately 29.23 x 13.88 x 1.82mm and 26.41 x 14.95 x 1.92mm respectively.
Each set with a translucent jadeite of emerald green colour, carved as a Guan Yin resting on a lotus pedestal, decorated with tapered baguette diamonds, mounted in 18 karat white gold.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to the jadeite certificates, both jadeite "Guanyin" are natural, type "A" jadeites. Please refer to the certificates for details. In our opinion, two jadeites are of matching and highly translucent, strong emerald green colour. Upon illumination and close look, there are cloud and some dark spot inclusions, not noticeable in normal visual distance. Other small half-moon jadeites are of similar colour and quality. Diamonds altogether weighing approximately 0.70 carat are about G to H colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Karat white gold mounts, both in mint condition.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please note that jadeite and rubies of Burmese origin and articles of jewellery containing jadeite or rubies of Burmese origin all less than 100 years old may not be imported into the US. The purchaser's inability to import any item into the U.S. or any other country as a result of these or other restrictions shall not justify cancellation or rescission of the sale or any delay in payment. Please check with the specialist department if you are uncertain as to whether a lot is subject to these import restrictions, or any other restrictions on importation or exportation.
