The first pendant of translucent bright apple green colour, carved as a pear-shaped cabochon, decorated by marquise-shaped diamonds; the second pendant carved as a peapod, of deep emerald green colour and fine translucency, decorated by brilliant-cut diamond-set hoop; mounted in 18 karat white gold. (2)

Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Jade Testing certificates, both the jadeite cabochon and jadeite "peapod" pendants are natural, Type A jadeites. Please refer to the certificates for details. In our opinion, the pear-shaped jadeite cabochon is translucent, of medium green colour, with white clouds upon illumination. The jadeite "peapod" is highly translucent, of medium soft, emerald green colour. Upon transmitted lighting, there are some cloud inclusions, not noticeable in normal lighting. Diamonds weighs approximately 0.60 and 0.10 carat respectively, are probably of H to colours, VS clarity. Condition: Karat white gold mounts, signs of normal wear, otherwise both in very good condition.
