Beijing International Jewelry Exchange Center is one of China’s biggest jewelry wholesale markets. Flagship products here contain jade, green emerald, ivory, crystal, pearl, gold, silver, platinum, diamond, nephrite, apyrite, ruby, sapphire and coral products. Customers and vendors trade materials directly in the market. Some shops have their own factories. Thus, jewelry styles may change sharply from one store to another. The materials mentioned above are manufactured into necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings and headdresses. Prices vary greatly. A ring cost you just 50 yuan, while a jade Buddha may be worth more than 500,000 yuan. Although more and more goods in the Exchange Center are being affiliated with certificates proving the quality, you still need some professional knowledge and a bargaining skill before entering the market. Hanging around more shops, asking different prices and comparing cost performance will help a lot.
Beijing International Jewelry Exchange Center locates at No.2, Huixin East Street, Chaoyang District. You can take Bus Line 602 or Yuntong 101 and get off at the station of Huixin Dongqiao Nanzhan (South Station of Huixin East Bridge).
