Condition

Colour and Clarity: According to Jadeite Jade Testing Certificates, both the jadeite cabochon on pendant and jadeite abacus seed ring are natural, Type A Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the certificates for details. In our opinion, the jadeite pendant is translucent, of medium intense emerald green colour, with white clouds under lighting, but not seen when worn. Diamonds in the surround are about G to H colours, VS to SI clarity. The jadeite abacus seed ring is translucent, of slightly deep emerald green colour, with minor white cloud patches under lighting but not noticeable when worn. Condition: Signs of normal wear, otherwise 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.
