I am going to China next week and would like to know if anyone knows of any wholesale sources for larger freshwater pearls and other interesting pearls that they would be willing to share with me. I am a jewelry designer and would be willing to purchase reasonable quantities. As I have discovered in other parts of the world, it would save a lot of time and heartbreak to have some personal reccomendations.

The only seller I can personally recommend in both Shanghai and Beijing is Ling Ling. But make sure to deal with her directly (on recommendation) and you should return with no heartache.

Thank you, Jeremy. Ling Ling is she in the Hongqiao market on the fourth floor? Would it be possible to use your name as a reference? Meaning that I was referred by you...not that we have done business together.

[jshepherd]

Yes, she is the one! Feel free to use my name, just make sure to deal with her directly.

Jeremy,

Would it be best to use cash? USD or RMB? Check? Credit Card? Or, my first born son...

Thanks
