Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the jadeite cabochons are generally matching, of highly translucent bright emerald green colour. Upon careful look, the cabochons show brownish inclusions and clouds, but not seen when worn or in normal distance. Diamonds together weighing approximately 27.70 carats, are probably of G to H colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Very good workmanship that the entire necklace is very soft, fitting well on neck. With pair of matching earrings, the suitè is in mint condition.
