Gem & Lapidary Wholesalers Gem Show 2026

The show takes place at Eastern States Exposition (Young Building) in West Springfield, Massachusetts.

The organizer lists qualified buyers, gem enthusiasts, and industry leaders among attendees.

It is most useful for jewelry makers, lapidary hobbyists and buyers who want to handle gemstones, minerals and jewelry in person, since the show runs in the Young Building at Eastern States Exposition and draws both qualified buyers and enthusiasts. The facts describe a single day of exhibitors with no listed seminars or speakers, so those seeking education, credits or a large international trade show will get less than from a major gem fair.

Gem show attendees and dealers usually wear casual clothing, such as jeans and a comfortable top, with comfortable shoes for browsing aisles of tables. Buyers sometimes dress slightly smarter, but no formal dress is typical for this kind of show.
