Late Sept is a very pleasant time in beijing, not hot and not cold either. Temperatures are around 27 celsius. You have chosen a good time to travel to Beijing.

Pearls in hongqiao market are mostly real. If the seller tells you the pearls are real, 99% of the time they are real, as pearls are not expensive in China, they do not have to fake them.

Prices are very much dependant on the quality. There are some 100 pearl stands in the market, check a few for price, you should then get a relatively good price.

I do not think you need to negotiate the price to the bottom. If you could get a pearl chain only 15% of that you needed to pay in your own country. Why negotiate too hard. Everybody needs to make a living.
