In our opinion, the jadeite is translucent, of medium to strong emerald green colour. Upon strong illumination, there are some clouds and few dark spots, generally not noticeable in normal visual distance. Diamonds together weighing approximately 3.00 carats, are about G to H colours, VS to SI clarity. Condition: Ring with removable ring guard. Karat white gold mounts, signs of wear and minor scratches to the metal, overall in good condition.
