Condition

Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Jade Testing Certificates, the jadeite cabochons are natural, Type A Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the certificates for details. In our opinion, the fancy-shaped jadeite cabochons are matching and have good translucency, of medium soft emerald green colour. Upon strong illumination, there are clouds inclusions in all these jadeites, but generally not seen in normal lighting. Diamonds are about F to G colours, mostly VS clarity. Condition: Karat white gold mounts, with signs of normal wear, overall in very 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. Please check with the specialist department if you are uncertain as to whether a lot is subject to these import restrictions, or any other restrictions on importation or exportation.
