Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Testing Certificate, the jadeite bangle is natural, Type A Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the certificate for details.

Upon illumination, there are white clouds, but not noticeable in normal lighting. Diamonds together weighing approximately 3.50 carats, are about G to H colours, VS to SI clarity. Two rubies are of deep strong red colour, eye clean.
