EXQUISITE JADEITE AND DIAMOND NECKLACE

Composed of sixty-three graduated jadeite beads of highly
translucent matching emerald green colour, highlighted by two
jadeite double hoops of matching colour and translucency,
linked by circular rose-cut diamonds, to a clasp set with pear and
cushion-shaped rose-cut diamonds, edged by brilliant-cut
diamonds, mounted in 18 karat white gold, length approximately
685mm.

Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Jade Testing certificate, the jadeite bead is natural, Type A jade. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the jadeite beads are generally even emerald green colour with fine translucency. Under very close inspection and penlight, there are streaks of emerald green and some minor white inclusions, not noticeable when worn. The jadeite double hoops are of similar quality. The diamonds are probably about H-I colour, VS clarity, together weighing approximately 2.10 carats. Condition: In very good condition.

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.
