The first bangle of translucent icy jadeite, carved with dragons chasing balls; the second bangle of translucent white jadeite with splashes of russet tone, suspending a carved pendant of matching colour and translucency, highlighted by streaks of bright green colour, mounted in 18 karat yellow gold. (2)

Colour and Clarity: According to the jadeite certificates, both carved jadeite bangles are natural, type "A" jadeite. Please refer to the certificates for details. In our opinion, one carved jadeite bangle has very good translucency, of icy to very light celadon tone, with white cloud inclusions upon transmitted illumination. The other carved bangle is translucent, of cloudy white with a splash of strong brownish orange in one section, hanging a carved pendant of similar colour suffused with medium green and yellow-orange patches. Condition: Vintage bangles, both in good condition.
