The International Gem & Jewelry Show 2025

Great event! As I purchased hundreds of dollars of gemstone items my first day on Friday, the vendors gave me free tickets 🎟 to return all weekend to enjoy more of this magnificent gem show.

Would love to see more sterling silver components for soldering and making jewelry with all the beautiful stones. It would also be great to have some demonstrations on Silver Metal Clay.

There were opportunities both for retailers and wholesale.

Only 4 wholesale vendors, where is closest other show with wholesale?

My 5th time attending the Gem and Jewelry Show at the Dulles town center in Chantilly Virginia in August 2019. I am a jeweler and usually spend about 15 to 20 k in shows like this. But this time with total horror, I realized how this show, which I used to enjoy so much, is going down the garbage shoot each time. The vendors are getting more and more rude and uncouth. Some vendors from mainland China are unspeakably argumentative and in your face, doing all kind of tricks to cheat people blind. The entire environment seemed to me it was not monitored by any authority figure or group and felt like kind of a “LAWLESS - NO MANS LAND”. I was so sorry to see the deterioration of a great attempt to bring vendors and sellers together at a market place for easy trade. After my horrifying experience this time, this definitely will be my last time attending...for sure.
