Description
- Plaque approximately 37.45 x 14.87 x 5.80mm, cabochons approximately 4.55 x 4.57 to 7.53 x 5.32mm.
Centring on a translucent emerald green jadeite plaque, carved as a single flower blossom and a butterfly, supported with oval jadeite cabochons of highly translucent bright green colour, accented with brilliant-cut diamonds, further embellished with diamond-set ribbons and scrolls, mounted in 18 karat white gold.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the larger carved jadeite is translucent green colour. Upon close look and strong illumination, there are some minor white cloud inclusions. Other small jadeite cabochons are of highly translucent, bright green colour. Diamonds are probably of G to H colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Overall in very good condition.
