• 項鏈由34顆翡翠珠組成
• 長度約520毫米

Colour and Clarity: According to Jadeite Jade Testing Certificates, the jadeite beads and the ear-hooks are natural, Type A Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the certificates for details. In our opinion, the jadeite beads are translucent, and pair of triple-hoops have even better translucency, all of similar, matching soft green tone suffused with darker, intense green patches. Upon close look, there are clouds and a few jadeite beads may have crack lines, not seen in normal visual distance. Two jadeite ear-hooks are matching and have good translucency, of slightly dark green colour. Condition: Antique pieces dated back to late 19th century, the metal clasp on necklace is tarnished and would recommend to re-string the necklace after purchase. Overall, the necklace is in fair condition and jadeite ear-hooks are in good condition.
