YELLOW JADEITE AND DIAMOND 'FIVE GOOD FORTUNES' PENDANT AND JADEITE AND DIAMOND PENDANT

The first pendant of semi-translucent honey yellow colour, carved on one side with five bats, symbolizing the arrival of five good fortunes (五福臨門), outlined by circular-cut diamonds, accompanied by a link-chain, mounted in 18 karat yellow gold, length approximately 380mm; the second  jadeite 'bi' pendant of good translucency and emerald green colour, with streaks of intense green tone, bordered by circular-cut diamonds, strung on a black cord, mounted in 18 karat white gold, length approximately 380mm.

Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Jade Testing Certificates, both the carved yellow jadeite disc and the jadeite disc are natural, Type A jadeite jades. Please refer to the certificates for details. In our opinion, the yellow jadeite is semi-transparent, of strong honey yellow colour. The other jadeite disc is highly translucent, of patchy, deep emerald green colour. Upon illumination, both disc pendants have cloud inclusions, not seen in normal lighting. Diamonds altogether weighing approximately 1.00 carat, are about H to J colours, VS to SI1 clarity. Condition: This lot is offered without reserve. Karat whtie and yellow gold mounts, both pendants are in mint condition.
