Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Jade Testing Certificates, the carved jadeite beads on both necklace and earrings are natural, Type A Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the jadeite beads are semi-translucent, of bright, intense emerald green colour, suffused with white patches. Upon close look, some jade beads may have minor brownish streaks, which are not seen in normal visual distance. Amethysts are of matching, strong purple colour, eye clean. Diamonds are about J to K colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Colourful combination, karat pink gold mount, in very good condition.
