Multi-Coloured Jadeite, Yellow Diamond and Diamond Brooch

Modelled as a branch of peach blossoms, set with twenty-one translucent icy jadeite cabochons and twelve jadeite cabochons of emerald green colour, embellished by yellow diamonds and diamonds, suspending on a translucent lavender jadeite, carved as a peach with a monkey atop, mounted in 18 karat blackened and white gold, pendant detachable.

Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Testing Certificate, the lavender jadeite pendant is natural, type "A" jadeite. Please refer to the certificate for details. In our opinion, the lavender jadeite pendant has good translucency, of medium light purple tone, with minor patches of white clouds upon close look, very common in lavender jadeite and not seen when worn. The icy jadeite cabochons are highly translucent, with nice glow; and other tiny jadeites are of bright to intense emerald green colour. Coloured diamonds and diamonds altogether weighing approximately 0.70 carat, are medium yellow and J to K colours respectively, overall VS to SI clarity. Condition: Karat blackened gold mount, lavender jadeite pendant is detachable, overall in very good condition.
