Condition

Colour and Clarity: According to the jadeite certificates, both jadeite pendants are natural, Type "A" Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the certificates for details. In our opinion, the icy jadeite "Buddha" highly translucent, with cloud inclusions upon illumination. The jadeite cabochon in the surmount is translucent of medium emerald green colour. Yellow jadeite "Guanyin" has similar translucency, of slighly deep, intense amber yellow colour. Upon transmitted illumination, there are cloud inclusions, but not noticeable in normal visual distance. Diamonds altogether weighing approximately 0.45ct. The round diamond set on the Guanyin pendant is about J to K colour, but all other diamonds are about G to H colours, overall of VS clarity. Condition: These two pendants are offered without reserve. Karat white gold mounts, both in mint condition.
