Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Jade Testing Certificates, all icy jadeite cabochons are natural, Type A Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the certificates for details. In our opinion, the icy jadeite cabochons are highly translucent, with nice glow. Under strong transmitted lighting, there are a few tiny white spots or clouds, but not seen in normal lighting. Colourless diamonds are about G to H colours, VS clarity. Black diamonds are opaque.
Condition: Whimsical design with karat white and blackened gold mount, in mint condition.
