Colour and Clarity: According to Jadeite Jade Testing Certificates, the icy jadeite "leaf" and the jadeite ear-pendants are natural, Type A Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the certificates for details. In our opinion, the icy jadeite "leaf" is highly translucent to almost semi-transparent, nice glow with white cloud inclusions upon close look. Two jadeite ear-pendants are matching and translucent, of bright, medium emerald green colour. Upon illumination, there are cloud inclusions, not noticeable in normal lighting. Diamonds on earrings together weighing approximately 0.70 carat, are about F to G colours, VS clarity. Diamonds on pendant are of similar quality. Condition: The pendant and earrings are offered without reserve. Karat white gold mounts, both in mint condition.
