Buying Jade in China?

Travel Info
I'll be in Beijing in August. Any tips on buying quality jade at good prices...just looking for gifts for co-workers: earrings, pendants, bracelets, etc.

How about pearls?

Travel Tips

There is a nice freshwater Pearl store in Beijing and prices are reasonable with guaranteed pearls. If you want to get fake pearls go to Silk alley, there are six story's of fake pearls, cheap clothes and fake watches.
There is also a genuine Jade factory in the suburbs of Beijing we went to, the prices were a bit steep but they had a vast assortment of various jade carvings, furniture, silk paintings, and jewelery. Again, if you visit a downtown market there is an overflow of fake jade that is very hard to distinguish from the real jade. Source(s): Holiday in Beijing last week

Not really :(
There's a pearl market in Beijing (I think it's called Hongqiao...) which would do pearls and jade I believe. If you are staying in a hotel, or have a guide ask the staff or your guide about where they would go. Locals always know best. Have a great time!
