Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Testing Certificates, both the jadeite "ruyi" and the plaque are natural, type "A" jadeite. Please refer to the certificates for details. In our opinion, the jadeite "ruyi" is highly translucent, of bright intense emerald green colour; the jadeite plaque is of translucent, emerald green colour. Both jadeites have white or brownish clouds upon strong illumination, but not seen when worn. Diamonds altogether weighing approximately 1.65 carats, those set on ring are about J to K colours, and pin are probably H to I colours, overall mostly of VS clarity. The circular yellow stones set on the pin are yellow sapphires, which are of medium deep orangy yellow colour, eye clean.
Condition: Signs of normal wear on the mounts, otherwise both in good condition.
