I strongly advise avoiding the Akoya in Hongqiao. The freshwater pearls are easy to spot, as they are almost never perfectly round, especially their. Just visit a couple of booths that sell "Sea Water Pearl" as they advertise, and see the difference.

Also, don't believe anything they tell you! Do you research before you go.
