TWO JADEITE RINGS AND A JADEITE PENDANT

Comprising: a jadeite saddle ring of translucent bright apple green colour, with patches of celadon tone on the
shank; a circular band, flattened on both sides, suffused with translucent emerald green colour; and a pendant of
matching colour and fine translucency, carved as a peach. (3)

Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Jade Testing certificates, both jadeite rings and the carved jadeite "peach" pendant are natural, Type A jadeites. Please refer to the certificates for details. In our opinion, the jadeite archer ring is translucent, of bright apple green colour. The other jadeite saddle ring is translucent, of strong apple green colour on the saddle top and graduated to soft green on the shank. Both have white cloud inclusions upon illumination. The carved jadeite "peach" pendant has good translucency, of medium soft green colour. Upon illumination, there are cloud inclusions, not noticeable in normal lighting. Condition: This group of jadeites are offered without reserve, overall in very good condition.
