- Icy jadeite beads approximately 11.46mm to 7.39mm; lavender jadeite cabochon approximately 14.33 x 10.80 x 6.56mm.

Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to the jadeite certificate, both the icy jadeite beads and lavender jadeite cabochon are natural, type "A" jadeites. Please refer to the certificates for details. In our opinion, the icy jadeite beads have very good translucency. Upon transmitted lighting, there are cloud inclusions, but not noticeable in normal lighting. The lavender jadeite cabochon is translucent, of strong purple colour. Upon illumination, there are white clouds, very common in lavender jadeite.
Condition: This necklace is offered without reserve, overall in very good condition.
