JADEITE AND DIAMOND BROOCH

Of cluster design, centring four marquise-shaped jadeite cabochons of rich emerald green colour and fine translucency, surrounded by diamond-set leaves and brilliant-cut diamonds, mounted in 18 karat white gold.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the marquise-shaped jadeites are fine translucent, of matching rich emerald green colour. Under illumination and close look, there are white clouds and dark inclusions, particularly for the largest one. These internal features are not noticeable in normal lighting and not seen when worn. Round diamonds are probably of F to G colours, while the marquise stones are G to H colours, overall in VS clarity. Condition: In mint condition.
