Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Testing Certificates, the jadeite, lavender jadeite and yellow jadeite are natural, Type A Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the certificates for details. In our opinion, all jadeite and coloured jadeite "saddle-top" have good translucency, of medium soft emerald green colour, medium purple and intense amber yellow colours respectively. Upon strong illumination, there are minor cloud inclusions, not seen in normal lighting. Diamonds set next to the jadeite saddle-top together weighing approximately 0.90 carat, are about H to J colours, VS clarity. Other coloured sapphires are about medum light to intense pink and purplish pink colour, eye clean.
Condition: Karat blackened and pink gold ring mounts, with signs of normal wear to the shank, otherwise in very good condition.
