Description

  • Cabochons approximately 16.10 x 14.41 x 7.82mm and 16.11 x 14.38 x7.88mm.

Condition

Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Jade Testing Certificate, both jadeite cabochons are natural, Type A Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the jadeites are well matched, of intense and brilliant emerald green colour, with very fine texture and good translucency, nice face-up outline and desirable thickness. Upon strong illumination and very careful check, there are a few minor cloud inclusions. Generally, both cabochons have very fine and even colour and texture. Two rubies, according to GRS reports, are natural, of Burmese origin, with no indications of thermal treatment, of vivid red (pigeon's blood) colour. In our opinion, these two rubies are perfectly matched, of very strong red and very clean with lively brilliance. Diamonds in the surround are about E to G colours, VS clarity. Condition: Karat white gold earclip mounts, in mint condition.
