In our opinion, the jadeite cabochon is translucent, of medium green colour. Two icy jadeite cabochons in the surmount are highly translucent, of milky tone. Upon strong illumination, there are cloud inclusions in the jadeite and icy jadeite cabochons, not seen in normal lighting. Diamonds together weighing approximately 2.10 carats, are about G to H colours, VS to SI clarity. Condition: Karat white gold mounts, in very good condition.
