Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the jadeite cabochons on a pair of earrings are very fine translucent, of bright apple green to green colours. Under illumination, there are some clouds inclusions. Two cylinder-cut lavender jadeites on another earrings are translucent, medium mauve tone. Two small jadeite gourd and eggplant are of translucent green and emerald green colours respectively. Under illumination and close look, there are a few dark inclusions and white clouds, but generally not seen when worn. Overall, diamonds are probably of H to I colours, VS to SI1 clarity.
Condition: Both pair of earrings are in very good condition.
