Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Jade Testing Certificates, the red jadeite pendants are natural, Type A Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the certificates for details. In our opinion, the carved red jadeite pendants are translucent, of medium to intense orange-red colour, suffused with celadon tone in the "lotus root" section, and one pendant has minor green splashes on the top. Upon illumination, there are white clouds, not noticeable in normal visual distance. Diamonds altogether weighing approximately 0.20 carat, are about G to H colours, VS to SI clarity.
Condition: This pair of pendants are offered without reserve. Karat white gold mounts, both in very good condition.
