Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Jade Testing Certificates, both the carved jadeite and lavender jadeite 'fan' are natural, type A jadeite jade. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the jadeite fan is translucent, of deep celadon tone with splashes of strong apple green colour. The lavender jadeite 'fan' is meduim mavue colour, of similar translucency. Upon transmitted light, both carvings have white clouds which do not affect their visual appearance and not noticeable in normal lighting. Diamonds are about G to H colours, VS to SI clarity.
Condition: Elegant pieces with pleasing visual colours, both in mint condition.
