The ring centring on a highly translucent oval jadeite cabochon of emerald green colour, to an openwork mount set with circular-cut diamonds; and pair of matching ear clips, each set with an oval jadeite cabochon of similar colour and translucency; mounted in 18 karat white gold. (2) Ring size: 6  

Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Jade Testing Certificates, the jadeite cabochons are natural, Type A Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the certificates for details. In our opinion, all three jadeite cabochons are highly translucent. The cabochon set on the ring is of strong emerald green colour, and the two cabochons on earclips are of similar colour but brighter tone. Upon strong illumination, there are cloud inclusions, particularly on the earrings, but generally not noticeable in normal lighting. Diamonds altogether weighing approximately 3.30 carats, are about F to G colours, VS clarity. Condition: Karat white gold mounts, all in very good condition.
