Condition

Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Jade Testing Certificates, the jadeite and red jadeite "Buddhas" are natural, Type A Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the certificates for details. In our opinion, both pendants are translucent, one of medium intense green colour, the other of intense orangy red colour. Upon strong illumination, there are some clouds, not seen in normal lighting. Diamonds altogether weighing approximately 1.95 carats, are about G to I colours, VS2 to SI clarity. Condition: Both in very good condition. IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please note that jadeite and rubies of Burmese origin and articles of jewellery containing jadeite or rubies of Burmese origin all less than 100 years old may not be imported into the US. The purchaser's inability to import any item into the U.S. or any other country as a result of these or other restrictions shall not justify cancellation or rescission of the sale or any delay in payment. Please check with the specialist department if you are uncertain as to whether a lot is subject to these import restrictions, or any other restrictions on importation or exportation.
