Your eyes need constant moisturizing from all the bling, metals, stones [precious, semi-precious, rare, igneous, metamorphic, etc.] shinning, shimmering, glistening… It’s like a beehive in there. Everyone’s buzzing about happily. Trying to barter, purchase, trade, and acquire fine and not-so-fine wares.
“I’m just gonna give it to you straight. For great bargains for the savvy shopper who loves jewelry, you have to go to the the International Gem & Jewelry Show. ”
“I LOVE this show!! It is HUGE with about 10 isles of vendors or more back to back. The selection is spectacular!!”
“Wow. Can anyone say Overwhelming!? Awesome, but so big and so much to see! It’s hard to figure out who has the best prices because there are SO many vendors.”

“This show seems to be very popular among the residents of bay area, I went on the last day (Sunday) and it was pretty busy over there. You can find all sorts of beads, gems and pieces for making your own jewelry here. And the price range seems to be pretty wide too.. you can find something from few $ to few thousands of $. This place is huge.. be prepared to spend few hours if you want to completely cover the show.”
“One of my favorite places to go when they come around usually in April, June, Sept., and November. I make jewelry so this is “I’ve died and gone to heaven” for me. I walk in and start having heart palpitations the minute I hear the little jewelry hammer tapping in the distance (if you’ve been there you’ll know what I’m talking about), its like “time to spend”! Whoohoo! ”
“When I went for the first time this March, I was like a kid in candy store!”
