Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Testing Certificates, the icy jadeite "Buddha" and the jadeite cabochons are natural, Type A Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the certificates for details. In our opinion, the icy jadeite "Buddha" is highly translucent with nice glow, with cloud inclusions under transmitted lighting but not see in normal lighting. The cabochon set atop is of translucent, emerald green colour. Two jadeite cabochons set on the earrings are matching, of translucent, bright, medium soft emerald green colour. There are white clouds under illumination, but not noticeable in normal lighting. Diamonds altogether weighing approximately 1.20 carats, are about G to H colours, mostly VS clarity. Condition: This pendant and earrings suite is offered without reserve. Karat white gold mounts, both in very good condition.
