Under strong illumination, all jadeites have have cloud inclusions, very common in natural jadeite and not noticeable in normal lighting. Diamonds together weighing approximately 1.00 carat, are about F to G colours, VS clarity. Condition: Karat white gold mounts, the back cover on the ear-pendants can be opened to reveal the translucency and thickness of the "peapods", in very good condition.
