There are different pearls in Greennhills. The bulk of it are freshwater pearls from China. There are some SSP though. If you are a foreigner, the sellers usually jack up the price. Lately, chinese round pearls of about 5-10mm (round to semi-round) have been sold at greenhills. Be careful though as this has been dubbed as baby south sea pearl but they are actually fine freshwater pearls. There are lots of fakes too so don't buy here unless you trust your pearl valuation skills. If you're a good SSP buyer, you may actually be able to buy some bargains here.
