We had a terrific time. First, we took the advice of other members and had lunch outside of the Expo Center. It was right around the corner at Wilbur's BBQ - great BBQ, as always! They never disappoint you with their BBQ.Written on Dec 20 2010
The show was amazing! Every time I go to the Expo Center, I am always amazed at how big it is and how many vendors can actually fit inside. This was no exception! We didn't even see half of the jewelers. There is a lot of repetition, so look carefully and go to compare price, length of chain or leather chain and quality of goods. It also helps if you know what you are looking for, since they sell to both jewelers that make their own jewelry and pre-made jewelery to include estate jewelery and many different other styles.
I guess I wasn't paying attention to the dates and didn't see they were open on Monday so I didn't even purchase tickets for Monday. I've never heard of a show running into a Monday before. Great time.
Make sure you print your Confirmation Receipt since that it your ticket to enter the event. There is NO will-call ticket window.

If you're into jewelry this is a great event to attend.... but wear comfortable walking shoes and be prepared for some aisles that are so crowded it's like rush hour on the Beltway.Written on Feb 21 2011

I went to the show hoping to find a wide range of unset gems, and was disappointed. While there were some spectacular stones for $6,000-$30,000, and some overpriced good stones in the $1,000-$4,000 range, there was little between $10.00 and $1,000 -- the range in which I was looking. I won't go to this show again.Written on Dec 19 2011

I can see this being of interest to people who are all set to buy jewelry at good deals; I personally went to be inspired by innovative, inspiring, and creative concepts. With that mentality, I found much of the items pretty conventional. There are a handful of pretty great jewelry makers who were truly different from the others, but for the most part, it was like walking through a giant jewelry shop rather than an artistic showcase.Written on Aug 22 2011
