Do you guys visit gem shows? I had been there twice and bought coral, pearl and Jade from there. What do you guys usually buy when you go to the gem shows?

I have been told that Gem shows are only good for getting good deals on tools and making contacts in the industry if you are try to break in with your own business. Buy gems at these shows is unwise because you are going to pay more for them than through other suppliers.

The gem shows maybe dangerous and the price is more expensive than the manufactors since they must think about the shows cost,so you are suggested to buy jewelry directly from jewelry manufactores and wholesalers,welcome to visit http://www.bjbead.com to wholesale jewelry,there will be a big surprise for you.

I would love to but no, I haven't ever done that. Could be dangerous, I love gemstones. I have picked some up on e-bay!
