JADEITE NECKLACE

Composed of thirteen translucent jadeite cabochons of emerald green colour, completed by a gold chain, mounted in karat gold, length approximately 470mm.

Colour and Clarity: According to Jadeite Jade Testing Certificates, the jadeite cabochons are all natural, Type A Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the certificates for details. In our opinion, the jadeite cabochons are generally matching, translucent, of medium to intense emerald green colour. Upon illumination, there are cloud inclusions, and white clouds in a few cabochons are slightly more noticeable upon close check, but generally not seen in normal visual distance. Condition: Yellow metal mount has signs of surface abrasions and scratches, otherwise in good condition.
