Teach you to visit Beijing Hongqiao Pearl Market

I sent a video before, but I felt that the video time was limited, so I put out a text version, more detailed. I hope this will be helpful to those who love pearls! 🤗
🌈【 Structure of Hongqiao Pearl Shopping Mall 】
The third and fourth floors of Hongqiao sell pearls.
✅ On the third floor there are sales rooms on both sides and a counter in the middle. The fourth floor is all business rooms. General business room boutique more, but boutique prices are also expensive.
✅ The 4th floor in addition to selling pearls and jewelry inlays, as well as selling pearl k gold accessories. Like 18-karat gold stud earrings, pendant brackets, etc.
🌈【 Jewelry Identification 】
Zhongdi University, Peking University and other third-party jewelry appraisal centers are on the 4th floor. Identification of a price list (clear price), few people generally half an hour out of the results.
🌈【 About Haggling 】
be sure to shop more, don’t just buy. Visit more and ask more, it is best to go several times, learn more about the market and business mix a familiar face, good bargain.
ask the wholesale price
Buy naked beads, buy a whole bag, called unified goods. Buying a necklace and buying a whole bunch is also called unified goods. Wholesale is much cheaper than retail. Ask the purpose of unified goods is to understand the wholesale price, good and business bargain.

take their own sample, to compare and bargain with the business.
You can take your own pearl necklace or earrings to compare with the business, so that the general business will not give you a high price. You can also use their own purchase price and bargain with the merchant.

Repeat bargain
Let merchants feel the added value after the transaction. For example, add merchants to wechat to express their desire to buy again. Tell the business will introduce their little sisters to patronize.
Let the merchant bid, you don’t bid
Sometimes during a bargain, the seller will let the buyer make an offer. Never bid if you don’t know the market price. Let the merchant give you the lowest price, and then compare.

🌈 [Avoid haggling]
Don’t haggle. If you don’t know the market price. Do not understand the market price, up a cut, cut too hard, so that businesses can not make money or even lose money, businesses angry. In the end, everyone broke up, and you went for nothing.

don’t grind the business, there is no reason for each other to give concessions. You need to give a reason for the offer. Either the other is cheaper than the merchant, or the pearl is a little insufficient, or you can bring other added value to the merchant. Such as re-purchase, such as bringing sisters to buy and so on.
🌈【 Advantage of Red Bridge 】
Physical mall, what you see is what you get. There is a third-party jewelry appraisal agency, even if you do not identify, the deterrent power will make the business here do not dare to do fresh water as sea water to sell this thing. The market is relatively regulated.

👉 The shortage is that the physical mall operating costs are relatively high. But it’s different for different people. I feel that the biggest advantage of you coming to Red Bridge is that you can understand all kinds of pearls, what is the difference between real akoya and fresh water, why this Australian white 2000 that 1w, seeing is believing often to see the difference.
