In our opinion, the jadeite bangle has cabochon has good translucency, of medium green colour suffused with intense green streaks. Upon strong illumination, there are some cloud inclusions and one internal parting line, not surface reaching and not affecting overall integrity of the bangle. The lavender jadeite bangle is translucent, of soft to intense mauve colour with a small section of whitish tone. Condition: Both in good condition.
