The necklace set with seven translucent jadeite plaques of emerald green colour carved as ruyis, embellished by brilliant-cut and pear-shaped diamonds; and pair of earrings en suite, each set with two jadeite ruyis of matching colour and translucency; the diamonds altogether weighing approximately 27.20 carats, mounted in 18 karat white gold, length approximately 430mm. (2)

Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Testing Certificates, the jadeite "ruyi" on necklace and earrings are natural, Type A Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the certificates for details. In our opinion, all jadeite "ruyi" have good translucency, of medium to intense emerald green colour. Upon strong illumination, there are minor cloud inclusions, but not seen in normal lighting. Diamonds altogether weighing approximately 27.20 carats, are about E to G colours, VVS to VS clarity. Condition: Back cover on the largest jadeite 'ruyi" pendant can be opened to reveal the translucency and thickness of the piece. Karat white gold mounts, all in very good condition.

The purchaser's inability to import any item into the U.S. or any other country as a result of these or other restrictions shall not justify cancellation or rescission of the sale or any delay in payment.
