Why This Directory Exists
Finding reliable, up-to-date information about gem shows shouldn't be difficult. Yet for years, wholesale buyers have had to piece together show schedules from dozens of different organizer websites, Facebook groups, and word-of-mouth. We built Gem Show Directory to solve that problem.
This site is a comprehensive, single-source reference for every major gem, mineral, jewelry, and fossil show in the United States. We focus on the information that matters to professional buyers: dates, venues, wholesale access requirements, vendor counts, and practical details for planning buying trips.
Who We Are
Gem Show Directory is maintained by the team at Bennett Gems, wholesale gemstone specialists who attend major shows throughout the year. Our firsthand experience as buyers and sellers at these events means the information, tips, and show reviews on this site come from people who are actually on the show floor.
We've spent years navigating the sprawling Tucson showcase, sourcing at the Denver Hardrock Summit, and building vendor relationships at shows across the country. That experience shapes everything on this site — from the wholesale buying guide to the show-by-show details.
Our Commitment to Accuracy
Show dates, venues, and details change from year to year. We verify our information directly with show organizers and update listings as new information becomes available. If you notice any inaccurate information, please let us know so we can correct it promptly.
This directory is a free resource. We don't charge for listings, and we don't accept payment from show organizers to alter or prioritize their information. The shows are presented accurately because that's what buyers need.
