The obverse of even emerald green with fine translucency, continuing to the shank of lighter emerald green tone.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to Jadeite Jade Testing Certificate, the jadeite saddle ring is natural, type A, Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the jadeite saddle ring has good translucency, of strong emerald green colour to the entire saddle, and graduated to soft green colour on shank bottom. Upon illumination, there are some clouds, not noticeable in normal lighting or when worn.
Condition: Please note there is a fissure line on the shank, which does not provoke an immediate breakage and the ring is intact at present, but extra care is recommended to protect the saddle ring.
