Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Jade Testing Certificate, the jadeite cabochon is natural, Type A Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the certificate for details. In our opinion, the jadeite cabochon is translucent, of medium emerald green colour. Under illumination, there are a few white spots and clouds, mostly close to side, not noticeable in distant view. The heart-shaped diamond is about G to H colours, VS clarity. Other smaller diamonds are probably of F to G colours, mostly VS clarity. Rubelite beads are of strong purple pink-red colour, eye clean. Condition: The jadeite cabochon pendant is detachable, karat white gold mount, with signs of normal wear, overall in very good condition.
