Composed of sixty-three graduated translucent lavender jadeite beads, highlighted by two jadeite triple-hoops of translucent emerald green colour, completed by a clasp set with oval and brilliant-cut diamonds together weighing approximately 1.80 carats, mounted in 18 karat white gold, length approximately 830mm.

Colour and Clarity: According to the jadeite certificates, both the lavender jadeite beads and pair of jadeite triple-hoops are natural, type "A" jadeite. Please refer to the certificates for details. In our opinion, the lavender jadeite beads are translucent, of slightly deep, intense purple tone. Upon illumination, there are both whitish and darker purple clouds, not noticeable in normal visual distance and very common in lavender jadeites. The jadeite triple-hoops are translucent, of medium intense green colour with minor whitish clouds. Diamonds on the clasp weighing approximately 1.80 carats, are about F to G colours, VS clarity. Condition: The pair of jadeite triple-hoops are probably dated mid-20th century. Classic bead necklace, in very good condition.
