Condition

Colour and Clarity: According to Jadeite Jade Testing Certificates, both jadeite pendants are natural, Type A Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the certificates for details. In our opinion, both jadeite pendants are almost semi-transparent, of celadon tone with minor splashes of bright green, in particular to the "bat and coin" pendant. Upon transmitted illumination, both pendants show cloud inclusions, but not noticeable in normal lighting. Condition: These two pendants are offered without reserve. Karat white gold mounts, both in very good condition. IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please note that jadeite and rubies of Burmese origin and articles of jewellery containing jadeite or rubies of Burmese origin all less than 100 years old may not be imported into the U.S. The purchaser's inability to import any item into the U.S. or any other country as a result of these or other restrictions shall not justify cancellation or rescission of the sale or any delay in payment. Please check with the specialist department if you are uncertain as to whether a lot is subject to these import restrictions, or any other restrictions on importation or exportation.

Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion. Illustrations in the catalogue may not be actual size. Prospective purchasers are reminded that, unless the catalogue description specifically states that a stone is natural, we have assumed that some form of treatment may have been used and that such treatment may not be permanent.
