Colour and Clarity: According to GIA report, two carved jadeite plaques are of natural colour, with no indications of impregnation, which is referred as "A" jade in the market. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the carved jadeite plaques and two round jadeite cabochons are of similar quality, translucent to semi-trancluent, of intense green colour. Upon illumination, there are white clouds, particularly to the jadeite cabochons, but not noticeable in normal visual distance. Two conch pearls are of intense pink colour, with moderate to noticeable flame pattern, porcelain surface lustre. Two pink diamonds are of deep to intense purplish pink hue, VS to SI clarity. Other tiny diamonds are about G to H colours, VS clarity. Condition: Karat white gold mount, in very good condition.
