Condition

Colour and Clarity: According to Jadeite Jade Testing Certificate, the jadeite cabochons are natural, Type A Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the certificate for details. In our opinion, the jadeite cabochons have good translucency, of medium to intense emerald green colour. Upon illumination, there are cloud inclusions, not seen in normal lighting. One cabochon has slightly lighter colour on the side, but not seen to the front. Diamonds together weighing approximately 1.30 carats are about G to I colours, mostly VS clarity. Condition: Vintage mounts, open back setting, with signs of wear to the metal, otherwise in good condition. IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please note that jadeite and rubies of Burmese origin and articles of jewellery containing jadeite or rubies of Burmese origin all less than 100 years old may not be imported into the US. The purchaser's inability to import any item into the U.S. or any other country as a result of these or other restrictions shall not justify cancellation or rescission of the sale or any delay in payment. Please check with the specialist department if you are uncertain as to whether a lot is subject to these import restrictions, or any other restrictions on importation or exportation.
