Hello,

I am going on a trip to China and I am planning to do some pearl shopping at Ling Ling in Beijing, which I read in this forum is an honest seller. I would like to get a nice necklace and also some earrings. I was wondering if somebody could advise me on this.

My bugdet for the necklace is $5,000, but I do not know much about pearl prices. I wonder what is the best I can get for that budget in that store -- would it be possible to get South Sea pearls?

Thank you very much!
