The necklace composed of forty-one jadeite beads of translucent apple green colour, spaced by ruby beads together weighing approximately 36.70 carats, completed by a diamond-set clasp set with a carved jadeite plaque of emerald green colour, mounted in 18 karat white gold, length approximately 880mm; and a brooch suspending two translucent jadeites of celadon tone, carved with two bats, to a surmount set with icy jadeite and jadeite cabochons, cabochon rubies and diamonds, mounted in 18 karat blackened gold, with pendant loop fitting. (2)

Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Testing Certificates, the jadeite beads on necklace and carved jadeite pendants on brooch are natural, type "A" jadeite. Please refer to the certificates for details. In our opinion, the jadeite beads are translucent, of apple green tone suffused with medium to intense green colour patches; and the carved jadeite plaque set in the clasp is of translucent, medium green colour. Upon illumination, there are clouds in both the jadeite beads and plaque, but not seen in normal lighting. Faceted ruby beads are of intense to deep strong red colour. Two jadeite pendants suspending from the brooch are matching and highly translucent, of deep celadon tone, with cloud inclusions under strong illumination. Cabochon rubies are medium deep red hue, of translucent clarity. Diamonds altogether weighing approximately 0.80 carat, are about I to K colours, VS to SI clarity. Condition: Signs of normal wear to the mounts, otherwise both in very good condition.
