Condition

Colour and Clarity: According to the HK Jade and Stone Laboratory report, the large jadeite cabochon is natural, Type A, Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the jadeite cabochon is of highly translucent, brilliant emerald green colour. Overall, the jadeite cabochon has a very fine texture. Under strong illumination and close check, there are minor clouds and a very tiny white spot close to the side. Very pleasing outline with desirable thickness of 11.92mm, showing nice translucency and glow from within. According to GIA report, round diamond in the surmount is G colour, VVS2 clarity. Please refer to the report for details. Other smaller round diamonds on the necklace are probably of similar colour, VVS2 to VS clarity. The eighty-four brilliant-cut diamonds together weighing approximately 28.45 carats. Condition: Both the pendant and necklace can be worn separately. With ring fitting, the jadeite cabochon can also be worn as ring. Very simple and classic setting highlights the perfection of the jadeite cabochon, all in mint condition.
