Any tips? Should I bring cash, or do they accept credit? Will they haggle? I have something specific in mind that I am looking for, but I might get sidetracked by all of the sparkles!!!!

Have fun! I've only been to one. The vendors I talked to would haggle on prices but I honestly never bought anything so I don't know on payment. I hope you find something really pretty.

I've been to a couple. They're a lot of fun!!! Definitely try to haggle! Especially if you buy more than one item from a vendor. They usually take either cash or credit. Sometimes I was able to get better pricing if I paid cash but you have a little more buyer protection if you use a credit card. Always get a receipt and ask about return/exhange policy. I had a ring lose a diamond shortly after I bought it. Luckily, the vendor allowed me to return it for a full refund. Have fun and post pictures!!!

Have fun, and don't forget to show us any "pretties" you get. I haven't been to a gemstone show in years. My head would explode and my eyes would fall out if I did. I'm jealous you get to go! |

I echo all comments so far. Perhaps you could also keep a keen eye out for suppliers that we don't already know about. Always good to investigate someone new. Have fun! Gailey |
