I think the prices you quoted are close, but you might do better (-8%) by NOT shopping around Harbour City... that's prime Mainlander shopping area so you're not likely to get the best discounts there. I don't know how many hundred AD's there are in HK, but there are over 100 locations alone of the top 3 jewellery brands (Chow Tai Fook, Chow Sang Sang and Luk Fook) so you'd probably do better at more outlying stores and at the smaller chains and independents.
