GLW West Springfield brings a focused trade-only gem and jewelry wholesale show to the Northeast at the Eastern States Exposition in West Springfield, Massachusetts. Running April 24-25 in 2026, the two-day event serves wholesale buyers across New England and the mid-Atlantic who need regional sourcing options between the major national shows. With over 100 exhibitors offering loose gemstones, beads, finished jewelry, mineral specimens, and related supplies, GLW provides efficient wholesale buying in a compact, business-oriented format.
The trade-only admission policy ensures that every exhibitor interaction is focused on wholesale transactions. Vendors at GLW shows tend to be established wholesalers who understand trade buyer needs, offering competitive per-unit pricing, reasonable minimums, and the ability to fulfill reorders between shows. The product mix covers a practical range for retail jewelers, bead store owners, lapidary enthusiasts, and gift shop operators, with particular strength in fashion jewelry components, gemstone beads, and silver findings.
For Northeast-based wholesale buyers, GLW West Springfield eliminates the time and expense of traveling to Tucson, Denver, or Las Vegas for routine inventory replenishment. The Eastern States Exposition venue is accessible from the I-91 and I-90 corridors, making it a convenient day trip or overnight for buyers across Connecticut, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and the greater Boston area. The biannual schedule provides two buying opportunities per year, aligned with spring and fall retail planning cycles.
