Colour and Clarity: According to the jadeite certificates, all jadeites are natural, type "A" jadeites. Please refer to the certificates for details. In our opinion, three jadeite "leaf" pendants and two carved jadeite pendants are translucent, of strong apple green to medium green colour. The carved "finger citron" jadeite pendant, two square jadeite plaques and two pair of jadeite pendent earrings are translucent, of deep green colour. Cabochon jadeite on ring is of translucent, bright green colour, and the other jadeite ring is emerald green colour. The jadeite bangle is of light celadon tone with a yellow patch, good translucency. Upon illumination, all jadeites have cloud inclusions and the carved jadeite generally have minor surface abrasions which consistent with their age. Overall, the diamonds are about H to I colours, VS to SI1 clarity. Condition: This group of jadeite is offered without reserve. Antique jadeite bangle has surface abrasions and a surface reaching fissure line on one side, not affecting the immediate integrity of the bangle. Vintage mounts, have signs of wear to the metal, overall in good condition.
