Colour and Clarity: According to Jadeite Jade Testing Certificates, the jadeite cabochons are natural, Type A Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the certificates for details. In our opinion, the jadeite cabochons are matching and have good translucency, of emerald green colour. Upon strong illumination, there are some minor cloud inclusions, but generally not seen in normal lighting. Diamonds are about G to H colours, VS clarity. Condition: Karat white gold mounts, signs of minor wear to the ring shank, otherwise all in very good condition.
