Colour and Clarity: According to the jadeite certificates, all three carved jadeite pendants are natural, type "A" jadeite. Please refer to the certificate for details. In our opinion, the carved jadeite pendants are highly translucent, of slightly deep, emerald green colour. Upon strong illumination, all jadeite plaques have white or brownish cloud inclusions, but not noticeable in normal lighting. Cabochon tourmalines are strong pink-purple colour, eye clean. Diamonds together weighing approximately 1.00 carat, are about G to I colours, VS clarity. Condition: All karat white gold backings behind the jadeite plaques can be opened to reveal the translucency and thickness of the pendants. The carving with auspicious meaning, in very good condition.
