Jadeite 'Peach and Bat' and Diamond Pendant

The translucent jadeite of soft emerald green colour, carved as a peach with a bat, to a surmount set with brilliant-cut diamonds, mounted in 18 karat white gold.

Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Jade Testing Certificate, the lavender jadeite "peach" is natural, Type A Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the certificate for details. In our opinion, the carved jadeite "peach" is translucent, of medium green colour, with some cloud inclusions upon transmitted lighting, but not seen in normal lighting. The larger round diamond in the surmount weighs approximately 0.70 carat, of about F to G colours, VS clarity. Other smaller diamonds are probably of similar quality. Condition: Karat white gold mount, in mint condition.
