Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the smaller jadeite 'ru-yi' on earrings are highly translucent, of strong emerald green colour; while the larger jadeite 'ru-yi' on pendant is in slightly darker tone, of rich emerald green colour, similar translucency. Under strong illumination, there are a few dark inclusions, which are not seen in normal lighting. Diamonds are generally of F to G colour, VS clarity.
Condition: Both in very good condition, almost as new.
