Colour and Clarity: According to the Hong Kong Jade and Stone Laboratory Certificates, the jadeite "huaigus" are natural, A Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the certificates for details. In our opinion, the jadeite "huaigus" are matching and highly translucent, of slightly deep, intense emerald green colour. There are cloud inclusions upon strong illumination, but generally not noticeable in normal lighting and not seen when worn. Diamonds are about F to H colours, mostly VS clarity. Condition: Vintage platinum mounts, with signs of wear to the metal commensurated with its age, overall in good condition.
