Condition

Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Jade Testing Certificates, both jadeite "huaigu" are natural, Type A Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the certificates for details. In our opinion, both jadeite "huaigu" are translucent. The larger "huaigu" on pendant is of slightly deep emerald green colour; smaller one on ring is of bright, medium soft emerald green hue. Under strong illumination, there are cloud inclusions in both jadeite "huaigu", but generally not noticeable in normal lighting. The pear-shaped diamond set atop the pendant weighs approximately 0.50 carat, is about G colour and VS clarity. Other tiny diamonds on the pendant and ring are about F to H colours, mostly VS clarity. Condition: Karat white gold mounts, with signs of wear, particularly on the shank, otherwise both in good condition.
