Members Who Went Said:Fantastic selection! I was doubtful of advertising but there really was something for everyone—-a large variety of everything—original designs, silver, gold, paltinum, beads, loose gems and stones, findings, costume, classic, fun, ethnic, etc., etc, etc. Really, something for everyone, no matter who you are or what you like!!!
Terry There is a wide array of beautiful jewelry at this event - everything from diamonds to stone beads to jewelry making supplies. I think it might be best to go on Sunday, as many vendors sell items for "50% off." I actually went all three days and enjoyed it.
Ishmael Rudolph Life's out there! Great event! If you're going to buy jewelry for anyone in your life for any occasion, this is the place to do it! Bring your wallet/credit card/checkbook and be ready to use it! |
