The International Gem & Jewelry Show 2025

This show has many folks selling beads and they have very similar items with the exception of a few. It's worth a visit especially if you make jewelry. Only 1 vendor had small beads people use for weaving and they quality wasn't very good but for people who string beads or use large centerpiece beads to weave around, there's plenty to purchase.

.My first time there. Not exactly what I expected. .The customers said the show had gone downhill because of all the imitation beads. .I was surprised at the light foot traffic..The customers said the fall show is better all the way around. I intend to participate in that and not this event next year..A vendor said he did really well at this event last year but terrible this year, and that he does well at the bead show and the fall show..That's all I know boss. :-)

. There are some good prices more variety of gemstones. Like the show at the Valley Forge Hilton much better it was closer to Philadelphia.
