Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Jade Testing Certificates, all three jadeite pendants are natural, Type A Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the certificates for details. In our opinion, the jadeite pendants are of very similar quality, translucent, deep emerald green colour. Upon close look, there are some dark green natural inclusions and clouds. The carved "Buddha's-hand and Bat" pendant, upon 10x loupe, has surface reaching fissure to the ring top, not affecting its immediate integrity and not noticeable to naked eyes. Diamonds on two bamboo pendants are about H to I colours, VS to SI clarity.
Condition: Overall, all in good condition.
