There is also a brownish fissure running to a corner, not seen when worn. Jadeite beads are generally matching, of translucent, medium soft to medium emerald green colour, with white clouds upon illumination. Diamonds together weighing approximately 5.15 carats, are about G to I colours, mostly VS clarity. Signed VCA to the clasp and numbered. Condition: Vintage mount, with signs of wear and surface abrasions to the metal, otherwise in good condition.
