The JOGS Tucson Gem & Jewelry Show is a major fixture of the Tucson gem show season, bringing together approximately 350 vendors from around the world across nearly two weeks of buying opportunity. JOGS has built a reputation for attracting a strong mix of international gem dealers, jewelry manufacturers, and bead suppliers, making it a one-stop sourcing destination for buyers who need to cover multiple product categories efficiently.
The show floor at JOGS offers a well-curated balance of loose gemstones, finished jewelry, gemstone beads, pearls, silver jewelry, and lapidary materials. International exhibitors from major gem-producing regions — Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, China, Brazil, and East Africa — are well represented, and many offer direct-from-source pricing that appeals to cost-conscious wholesale buyers. Whether you are sourcing faceted colored stones for a jewelry line, bead strands for a retail shop, or silver jewelry by the dozen, JOGS delivers competitive pricing across all categories.
One of the advantages of JOGS is its timing. Opening on January 28, it is one of the earliest major shows in the Tucson gem show 2026 season, which means dealers are arriving with fresh, unsorted inventory. Early-bird wholesale buyers who prioritize JOGS in their schedule can get first pick of new material before it disperses to other venues or sells through. The show also overlaps with the peak period when most other Tucson shows are running, so it fits naturally into a multi-venue buying itinerary.
For wholesale buyers, JOGS offers a comfortable indoor environment with well-organized booth layouts and consistent lighting — important for accurately evaluating gemstone color and quality. Bring your loupe, resale certificate, and a clear buying list. Volume discounts are standard practice at most booths, and many exhibitors are prepared to negotiate on large orders. JOGS is particularly strong for buyers who source gemstone beads and silver jewelry at wholesale, making it an excellent complement to the colored-stone-focused shows downtown.
