Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, all icy jadeite cabochons are matching and highly translucent, with very pure clarity that only a few minor clouds or small white spots are shown under strong illumination and close look. The jadeite 'leafs' flanked to the sides are highly translucent, of bright emerald green colour. Diamonds are probably of H to I colours, VS to SI1 clarity.
Condition: All in mint condition.
