JOGS Tucson Gem and Jewelry Show

All I can say is wow. There is so much to look at, it’s overwhelming. You should plan on spending a couple of days here to be able to take in all that is available. Also bring cash with you. Many of the vendors are willing to give discount if you’re using cash.

First time attending Tucson gem show. We loved the Jogs show because we not only were able find amazing jewelry for our own shop but were able to make contacts that we can rely on to make custom jewelry for our shop in the future. I loved the range of prices and styles and stones that were available here. I only wish I had more time and money to spend there! Thanks for also having an awesome food cart available outside which we took advantage of when we took a break from shopping and walking so much. Parking was our least favorite because there wasn’t enough and we had to pay valet $10 and ended up parking it ourselves in their lot.

Over the years, I've attended several of the shows in Tucson during the Gem Show. This year I came to JOGS exclusively. For a jewelry maker like me, I can find everything I need at JOGS. The vendors tend to be much friendlier, and the selection is exceptional. It really has expanded in size too? Thank you to the organizers and staff. This was a tremendous show! See you next year?

Great show- well organized, many different vendors from around the world with high quality merchandise. The additional parking with security was appreciated. Food trucks offer a break from the crowds. We enjoyed shopping and were able to find the items on our list.

Last day and they charge for parking and they also wanted $10 entry fee! For a buyer with only 3 hours left in the show. Other shows are free if you're a buyer or a guest. I already had a vendor badge and buyer badge from other shows.

What a nightmare! We arrived a half hour after open to experience an hour long line in the heat. How about some port-a-potties outside for the people who drove a long way? How about open all the entrances you cheap, unethical people! All the time spent in line I could have been shopping and supporting your vendors. No place for handicapped people to even sit down. You make everyone in line walk through the worst misters ever and everyone is uncomfortable. Why would anyone want to get soaking wet before going inside? Every year this show gets worse and worse! Stop being so damn cheap and get people in the show!!!

Hello Mike, indeed we have been working on the gemstones for sometime now! We had great success & experience in the JOGS show & this has brought real value experience on the showcase of our valued gemstones & Jewelry! The Zambian exploration of gemstones is the best reason anyone can venture! The Tucson show has proven itself!

The JOGS show is consistent with good quality vendors. There are several that I visit every year. Their food court is nice to rest a bit and get a bite to eat. This year there was a shortage of seats when I was there. But people don’t sit too long. I have not taken classes before, but I noticed they were not there and the tools were also gone. We are all coming back from the panademic and changes are always being made. I think we can count on JOGS to continue with a good variety of quality vendors.
