Colour and Clarity: According to the Hong Kong Jade and Stone Laboratory certificate, the carved jadeite "fan" are natural, Type A Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the certificate for details. In our opinion, the jadeite "fan" has good translucency, of strong emerald green colour with cloud inclusions under strong illumination, not noticeable in normal lighting. Two red jadeite "huaigu" are highly translucent, of medium intense orange-red colour, with clouds under strong illumination, not seen in normal lighting. Tiny diamonds are about H to J colours, VS to SI clarity. Condition: Karat white and pink gold mounts, in very good condition.
