Condition

Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Jade Testing certificates, the jadeite cabochons are natural, Type A jadeites. Please refer to the certificate for details. In our opinion, the jadeite cabochons have good translucency and are matching, of intense emerald green colour. Upon illumination, there are cloud inclusions, not noticeable in normal lighting. Overall, all jadeite cabochons have pleasing face-up and profile outline. Rose-cut diamonds are mostly G to I colours, VS clarity. Condition: Very rare jadeite cabochon necklace of outstanding quality, in very good condition.
