| Hello Perlas and Jmarch,
Yes, greenhills is ok to purchase pearls and carry a numerous array of cfwp.with caution against overpricing sellers and misrepresentation of quality(watch out if they say baby south sea, i still don't know what they mean or where those come from really). Should you be on the look-out for SSP's then these are found in great numbers there too( mostly bought in lots of 100 pcs per in Hong Kong where they become generic). Impossible to trace origin, no provenance and of various low-AAA qualities. It's an occular feast, stall after stall. My groovy mother-in-law was boggled! I, on the other hand, get a headache when i go there owing to the shuffling of the numerous stalls every month. I source my cfwp there for the fashion jewelry i design and sell in DK. Yes, I wouldn't mind showing you around there too. By the way, spoke to Jewelmer and they said yes to the tour and they were even kind enough to offer arrangements for accommodation at a nearby resort. Ballpark estimate: Transfers $100, accommodation $60 per day with a minumum of 3 days. I'll get the deatils sometime today as i am meeting them shortly to borrow some shells for display purposes.
Perlas, perhaps since we live in the Philippines, a cup of tea or coffee sometime would indeed be nice. Also planning to go to the HK jewelry show in March. Perhaps going only for a day or 2 since i am still breastfeeding my baby and i still suffer from separation anxiety..Good day to you all!  |
