International Gem and Jewelry Show is Back in Town Reviews & Ratings

It was a jewelry shopper's paradise. Lots of venders and lots of great bargains. Come with cash as most prefer that means of transaction.

It was a lot of fun! Walking around stopping at every booth and talking to the merchants. It was a nice mix of items. I was especially surprised to find so many vendors who made things to order. You could basically design your own pieces and they...continued

This was my second visit to the Int'l Gem and Jewelry Show at the Pasadena Convention Center. There were far fewer merchants this time around, but it was still enjoyable.

Great vendors and a good experience overall.

I was quite disappointed - I thought it would be a bitter funner for my kid rather than just the "expo"

if you're into self-adornment or beading, & you missed the show in pasadena, grab tickets for the october, l.a. civic reprise. it's just a glut of stuff. for mr, the best vendor in the show was David R Freeland Jr.

This show was much smaller this year. Vendors not as varied.

For the most part the vendors were very nice and gave you plenty of knowldege on the pieces. But, after awhile the vendors began to look alike. Variety would have made it better.
It was pretty comfortable to get around with all the people that...continued

Last years event was much better. But I still look forward to next years. I hear the Santa Monica event is much bigger and better.

Not a good representation of gems and beads. Very little competition so the pries were higher than the Santa Monica Show. Would not go again

Some of the vendors were rude and not attentive at all. But for the most part the items were nice and there were some unique vendors.

The venue was small, but packed with very interesting items. The people selling were very nice, but some of the cutomers were so agressive! Yikes!

The staff at the show were very sweet and the office very accommodating. Would definitely...continued

Full of interesting things to see and purchase. Very worthwhile.

liked the variety of gems

Loved it. Love Goldstar.

I loved the event. There were custom jewelery and real jewelery. There were a lot of stuff for people who could make their own jewelery. There were chains, beads, gems, and the hardware to put them together. I will definitely go again next year....continued

Saw very many lovely items.....unfortunately, prices seemd to be way higher than internet prices.

We had a wonderful time, exploring and purchasing for ourselves and grandchildren.

Found a company that had a great deal on a tool kit. I saved $ by purchasing the kit at the show. Also found glass bracelets for the incredible price of $2.00! I recommend it to anyone. On the down side, parking was $9.00.

Great selection, excellent prices, and very nice people!
