About Our Show

America's Jewelry Marketplace Celebrates 59 Years!

America’s favorite direct-to-consumer jewelry show is returning to your area! The International Gem & Jewelry Show’s beloved events brings wholesalers, manufacturers and designers together under one roof. Skip the middleman and shop securely from a diverse selection of vendors. No matter who you may be shopping for, you’ll find something for everyone at the InterGem shows!

Our History

InterGem was founded in 1967 by Herbert A. Duke, Sr. as the first direct-to-consumer jewelry trade show in America. Herb was an avid gemologist and artist. He brought his love of gemstones, minerals and handcrafted art to the masses with InterGem where shoppers can buy direct from designers, wholesalers and manufacturers in a marketplace setting. Celebrating 59 years, we have stood the test of time and have become America's longest running and most beloved jewelry show!
