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

My grandson and I enjoyed the exhibits very much. He especially liked the New Era exhibit where he was able to buy small gems with his own money. The salesman at this exhibit was especially attentive to the little ones journey through gems. ...continued

Smaller is size so manageable. Mostly beads. I enjoyed it.

So much to see! The vendors I spoke with were very friendly, relaxed, and full of helpful information about gemstones and the origins of their stock. My only difficulty was in trying not to overspend my budget. I got a bunch of great deals. ...continued

The Pasadena Convention Center seemed a relatively small venue but given the overwhelming nature of jewelry making supplies it was nearly ideal. I found several items that I purchased, both supplies and finished jewelry items. I would recommend...continued

This is not the biggest show out there but it did have a nice varity of vendors to go through. The only disadvantage is that the parking structure is so very far away from the actual building you are in.

First off, I do not like giving my address on a form as a condition of entry. The vendors who were offering foot massages and facial creams to be annoying and pushy. Many of the bead vendors did not post the prices of their items in a clear and...continued

Fun. Gorgeous stuff at many different prices.

Good cross section of vendors...very helpful. First time attending this type of event. Will do it again.

Great prices and great selections. Could have spent more than 1 day!

Great time not a lot of beads for me

Had a great time seeing all the different vendors and their products.

Had a really fun day browsing and shopping at the show - it was our first time. The Convention Center event staff were especially friendly and helpful.

I enjoyed the show so much. I am looking forward to the next show.

I got there after 4 p.m., but it was enough time to browse. The selections were sale were good, but the prices were higher than, for example, the jewelry district in downtown L.A.

I had a blast. Some great deals and beautiful pieces!!

i live in pasadena and so this was very convenient and well worth the $3.50 fee from Goldstar. i have not been to the Santa Monica show, others tell me it's better, but as i said this is very convenient and worth the Goldstar fee. i'd recommend it.

I loved it! can't wait for the one in June

I usually attend the event held at the santa monica civic center. it is much larger, more venders and other international items for purchase. i usually start my christmas shopping with this event and will have to shop elsewhere this year.
