In previous years I let this blog go black following the close of the gemhows. This year I am going to try something new!<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Vendors come to the Tucson Gem Show from all over the world and when you find a dealer you like it is hard to keep up a relationship aside from meeting them annually in Tucson. A large number of the foreign dealers don’t have a website or only one that allows contact. So this is your one opportunity a year to actually see and touch the gems and findings you want.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

So in an effort to give some International attention to these vendors, I will be posting info and when possible photos of goods from a some of the outstanding vendors of the Tucson Gem Show!<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Some will be mineral dealers (although my friends Justin & Brandy at The Vug have this topic covered), gem dealers, rough dealers, bead dealers, findings, home decor – so some will apply to you, some won’t – but I am hoping to interest you in things you have never been exposed to before.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The format will be as follows – the photo and write up then at the bottom complete contact information for any vendors mentioned in the article. I could hyperlink throughout the piece but really want you to read the post and then check their website, info, etc. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

This info will also be posted to the new Tucson Gem Show Facebook Page!<\/div>\n
