InterGem Heads to Timonium, Maryland State Fairgrounds; Dates Vary

InterGem, which invites buyers with the tagline "Forget Retail - Shop Direct!", appears twice on 2026 calendars for the Maryland State Fairgrounds, 2200 York Road, Lutherville-Timonium. The promoter’s Timonium page lists May 15–17, 2026, while local event listings on Patch and Xpo Press cite March 6–8, 2026; both sets of dates are published in event material circulating to exhibitors and attendees.

When the show runs, public hours are explicit: Friday 12:00 pm–6:00 pm, Saturday 10:00 am–6:00 pm and Sunday 11:00 am–5:00 pm, with a firm "No entry after 4pm Sunday" policy. Ticketing copy lists online admission at $6, standard at $8, and promises a "Save 25% When You Buy Your Tickets Online" discount; organizers also note that "Tickets Are Good For All Three Days Of The Show. No Refunds Or Transfers."

Admission policy includes a long-standing military benefit: "MILITARY RECEIVES FREE ADMISSION: The International Gem & Jewelry Show offers free admission to all active-duty military and veterans with current military identification (offer includes immediate family)." Patch and event listings additionally mark schools and wholesale buyers as free in summary copy, and the InterGem site provides links for Wholesale Registration and School Registration for credentialed buyers.

Operational rules are specific and non-negotiable in published material: "No Photography Allowed" and "Children under 9 not permitted" are repeated across show pages, and InterGem advertises "Free And Ample Parking Available Around The Exhibition Hall & 4-H Building." Promoter contact information appears with a phone number for inquiries: InterGem Inc., (301) 294-1640.

Vendor previews and product categories are detailed: organizers promise diamonds, beads, pearls, opals, semi- and precious gemstones, engagement rings, settings and mountings, watches, vintage and estate jewelry, custom jewelry, findings and chains, jewelry supplies, and jewelry cleaning and repair. Named exhibitors appearing in vendor lists include Ariana Gems & Jewelry, Atlantic Estate Sales, Aurelia Lux Jewelry, Avaniee Jewels, Berj Kouyoumjian Jewelry, C&I International, Davir Gems, Dia Jewels and Eileen Kirkwood Fine Estate and Antique Jewelry among others.

Wholesale buyers should prepare credentials: prior InterGem event material has asked for a state business license or permit plus one of several proofs of trade, such as an imprinted business card, company letterhead, a purchase order or an employer payroll stub. Because InterGem’s public pages and third-party calendars show different Timonium dates for 2026, call InterGem Inc. at (301) 294-1640 to confirm the currently scheduled Timonium run and current wholesale requirements before making travel or buying plans.

InterGem markets itself as "America’s Jewelry Marketplace Celebrates 59 Years!" and as "America’s favorite direct-to-consumer jewelry show," positioning the Timonium stop as a dense trade-and-consumer marketplace where wholesalers, manufacturers and designers gather under one roof; attendees should check which of the two published 2026 dates applies to the show they plan to attend.
