Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Jade Testing Certificates, all three black jadeite sugar-loaf cabochons are natural, Type A Jadeite Jades. Please refer to the certificate for details. In our opinion, the black jadeites bangle are translucent, of pure black visual colour. Upon strong transmitted illumination, the black jadeites appear very dark green. Small jadeite cabochons in their surrounds are translucent, emerald green colour. Upon illumination and very close look, there are cloud inclusions, which are common to natural jadeites and the inclusions not seen in normal lighting. Diamonds altogether weighing approximately 0.75 carat, are about H to I colours, VS to SI clarity. Condition: Karat white gold mounts, all in very good condition.
