Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Jade Testing Certificates, all jadeites are natural, Type A Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the certificates for details. (Ring) In our opinion, jadeite cabochon is translucent, of intense emerald green colour, with white cloud inclusions upon illumination. There are surface abrasions on the cabochon, consistent with its age and use. Diamonds together weighing approximately 1.30 carats, are about E to F colours, VS clarity. (Pendant) In our opinion, the jadeite "Huaigu" is translucent, of slightly deep emerald green colour, with cloud patches under illumination. Diamonds together weighing approximately 2.60 carats, are about G to H colours, VS to SI1 clarity. (Plaque Brooch) In our opinion, the jadeite cabochon is slightly flat, of translucent, deep strong emerald green colour, with dark green cloud patches under illumination. Diamonds together weighing approximately 1.60 carats, are about E to F colours, VS clarity. (Spanner Brooch) In our opinion, the jadeite "cylinder" is translucent, of emerald green colour with white cloud patches under illumination. Tiny jadeite cabochon is of similar colour and translucency. Diamonds together weighing approximately 2.00 carats, are about G to I colours, mostly VS clarity. Condition: Vintage jadeite jewellery, with signs of wear to the mounts, particularly to the huaigu pendant, overall in good condition.
