Description
- Gourds approximately 8.53 x 3.54 x 2.24 to 11.67 x 6.56 x 2.31mm.
Each composed of nine carved jadeite gourds of brilliant emerald green colour and fine translucency, decorated within interlaced swirls pavé-set with brilliant-cut diamonds, mounted in 18 karat white gold, post fittings.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the jadeite gourds are well matching, of fine translucent, brilliant emerald green colour. Under strong illumination, there are a few dark inclusions and brownish clouds, which are not seen in normal lighting. Diamonds are probably of F to G colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Traditional carving shape in unusual and decorative design, in mint condition.
