The International Gem & Jewelry Show is taking place in Chantilly this February.
The show will feature dozens of jewelry manufacturers and wholesale sellers. Items for sale will include precious and semi-precious gemstones such as diamonds, pearls, turquoise, and opals, as well as finished jewelry pieces like watches, costume pieces, vintage and estate jewelry, and modern designer items.
Both wholesale jewelry buyers and the general public are invited to the show. Tickets cost $6 per person if bought online and $8 if purchased at the door. Tickets sold at the door will be cash-only.
Several groups are eligible for free tickets. Current military members and veterans, as well as their immediate family members, can show their military IDs for free admission. Wholesale buyers, students, teachers, and school staff need to pre-register online for their free tickets.
Children need to be nine or older to attend the show. Plenty of free parking will be available for attendees. Photography will not be permitted during the show. Large shows often use poster printing services to help mark different areas of the event space.
The International Gem & Jewelry show will be held at the Dulles Expo Center on Friday, February 16th from 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm; Saturday, February 17th from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm; and Sunday, February 18th from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm.
