Condition

Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Jade Testing Certificates, the pair of jadeite bangles are natural, Type "A" Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the certificates for details. In our opinion, these two jadeite bangles have good translucency, of light celadon tone suffused with medium intense amber colour on one session; one of the bangles further highlighted with a medium intense green colour patch. Upon strong transmitted illumination, both have cloud inclusions, particularly on one bangle. Condition: One of the bangles has a surface reaching fissure upon careful or loupe check, but do not affect the overall integrity of the bangle. Both in 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.
