JADEITE SADDLE AND DIAMOND RING

The obverse of even emerald green colour with fine translucency, decorated by brilliant-cut diamonds, mounted in 18 karat white gold.

Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Testing Certificate, the jadeite saddle ring is natural, Type A jadeite. Please refer to the certificate for details. In our opinion, the jadeite saddle is translucent, of strong emerald green colour. Upon illumination, there are minor clouds, not noticeable. Diamonds set on the jacket together weighing approximately 0.65 carat, are about F to G colours, VS clarity. Condition: There is a crack line at the bottom of the saddle ring, which does not affect the immediate integrity of the ring. To protect the saddle, a karat white gold jacket is fixed to the saddle ring and cannot be detached. Otherwise, the ring is in good condition.
