The JOGS show in Tucson gets better every year. Suppliers are coming back to the area and their selections have been good. Hope we can fill the building soon!

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!

This is a wonderful way to continue the momentum from the Very expansive February annual Gem Show. I do miss some of the larger vendors not bringing the same supplies to this show as they do to the February show, though. Nevertheless, everyone is always upbeat and positive, making for an overall great way to spend an afternoon (or two) shopping for those unique things that can only be found to the Tucson Gem Show! Thanks for another wonderful experience. I'm already looking forward to February!

I was pleasantly surprised at the number of vendors that were there. It was easy to get in and out of which helped a lot. Also the vendors had wonderful items to show and were especially helpful, knowledgeable and friendly.

I loved this show! It was the first time for me and I was not disappointed. The vendors were great with a large selection and the aisles were large enough for everyone. I was their all day but could have spent another day to not rush through. Net year I will schedule two days for this show!

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.

The Jogs show is well laid out with plenty of great vendors and clean restrooms. I like the way they cluster all the amber dealers together. I also appreciate being able to preregister online and print our badges out. I like that they check IDs for people's badges to minimize the number of retail customers coming in. We always include JOGS in our Tucson buying trip!

This show is very well organized and the vendors are of high quality! I appreciate being able to print our buyers badges ahead of time to save time from long lines! The parking is becoming an issue with the added outside tents, but there are plenty of attendants to guide you, and keep plenty of shuttles to transport you to and from the parking lots. The $10 parking was a surprise, but wondered who gets the money?

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?

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.

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.

I really enjoyed this years Jogs show. There were so many dealers to see. I was able to see everything I had planned to see and so much more. I will definitely plan to return again next year.

I’ve been attending the Tucson JOGS show each year since 2008. I’m never disappointed, but this year’s (2023) really was great for me. I had to attend during the last two days of the event, yet I was able to obtain what I needed (and THEN some!), at fair prices. The only issue that seriously needs to be addressed is the increasing lack of parking for it’s customers. Granted, there are more and more vendors outside, including food vendors, but if people have no where to park, most will just leave and go on to another venue. We were very lucky in finding a space, but it was quite a distance from the main entrance. Not good when you have mobility issues, and the venue itself is massive/an all day event!

Very large and diverse show. I only had time to see a tiny fraction this year, but I'll definitely be back. I did get some very well-priced calibrated cabs and some pretty sterling charms. Basic stuff, useful and great prices.
