Jadeite and Diamond Pendant

Suspending a translucent pear-shaped jadeite cabochon of emerald green colour, to a surmount set with a round jadeite cabochon of matching colour and translucency, framed by circular-cut diamonds together weighing approximately 2.00 carats, mounted in 18 karat white gold.

Colour and Clarity: According to the Hong Kong Jade and Stone Laboratory reports, the jadeite cabochons are natural, Type A Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the jadeite cabochons are translucent, of intense emerald green colour. Under strong illumination, both cabochons have cloud inclusions, particularly to the larger pear-shaped jadeite, which also has a few minute dark inclusions on side, not noticeable to naked eyes in normal lighting. Diamonds together weighing approximately 2.00 carats, round stones are about F to G colours, mostly clarity; while the briolette diamonds are of similar colour, SI clarity. Condition: Pear-shaped pendant is detachable from the surmount. Karat white gold mount, back cover can be opened to reveal the full thickness of the larger cabochon, in very good condition.
