Condition Report:
In our opinion, the jadeite is well carved and is medium light to medium green, with evident color mottling throughout, with good translucency. Onyx with some light abrasions. The diamonds are bright and lively probably of F/G colour and VS/SI clarity as gauged and graded within the limitations of the cutting style and the mounting. Smaller rubies well matched. The mounting has wear to the metal in the form of minor scratches and minor tarnishing.
The earrrings are of good workmanship with signs of wear consistent with age and use, not noticeable when worn. Fitted with posts and scrolls for pierced ears.
Overall condition is very good.
