Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to Jadeite Jade Testing Certificate, the jadeite cabochon is natural, Type A Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the certificate for details. In our opinion, the saddle-shaped jadeite cabochon is highly translucent and bright, of intense emerald green colour. Upon strong illumination and close look, there are minor cloud inclusions, which are not seen in normal lighting and these inclusions are common to natural jadeite. Diamonds together weighing approximately 3.00 carats, are about F to G colours, VS clarity.
Conditon: Karat white gold ring mount, in mint condition.
