Southfield Hosts International Gem & Jewelry Show Feb. 27 through March 1

Shoppers hunting engagement rings and settings can examine loose gemstones, 14K semi-mounts and manufacturer-direct mounts at the International Gem & Jewelry Show now occupying the Southfield Pavilion at 26000 Evergreen Road in Southfield, Michigan. The three-day event is presented as a direct-to-consumer wholesale-and-retail marketplace, bringing wholesalers, manufacturers and designers together under one roof with categories listed from Diamonds and Engagement Rings to Beads, Pearls, Opals and Findings.

The show runs Friday noon to 6 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., with a hard admission cutoff - no entry after 4 p.m. Sunday even though the floor remains open until 5 p.m. Tickets were priced at $6 online and $8 at the box office, where InterGem lists at-door purchases as cash only; tickets are valid for all three days and are non-refundable and non-transferable. InterGem also offers free admission to military members with identification, and lists free categories for schools and wholesale attendees along with a note that "FREE Pre-Registration Before Deadline Required."

Exhibitors span independent designers to established vendors: names visible on show listings include A Valuable Piece, Amber Design, Aurelia Lux Jewelry, Bendor Jewelry, Best In Gems - which advertises "14K Gold Semi-Mounts, Drops Pairs, Loose Gemstones," C&I International with "Semi-Precious Gemstone Beads," Capital Dazzle, Gina Gant Pearls, Infinity Gems & Diamonds and Taj Mahal Gems. InterGem's featured exhibitor images include Avaniee Jewels, Bakari Fine Jewelry, BJ Total Fashion and Sams's Fine Jewelry, and the exhibitor list and picture gallery are available via the show's exhibitor list button on the InterGem site.

Logistics are straightforward for in-person shopping: the Southfield Pavilion offers free and ample parking on site, a Directions link and Google Calendar/ICS options on the show page. The promoter is InterGem, Inc.; a listed contact phone number is (301) 294-1640, and the XpoPress listing shows an obfuscated promoter email string (/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#5a13343c351a13342e3f283d3f3774143f2e). The City of Southfield describes InterGem as originally founded in 1967 and producing over 60 shows in more than 35 cities, and repeats the event address and ticketing details for local attendees.

Attendees should note house rules posted on site: "Children Under 9 Not Permitted" is displayed prominently, photography is prohibited with "No Photography Allowed," and the ticket box reiterates the "No entry after 4pm Sunday" rule. One listing labels the show Region 1: Southwest States even though the venue is in southeastern Michigan, an apparent classification mismatch on the XpoPress listing. The InterGem page also includes the literal site navigation items Buy Tickets, Exhibitor List, Wholesale Registration and School Registration, which reflect separate registration flows and the "Pre-Registration Before Deadline Required" wording that does not specify which categories it covers.

As the show concludes its final day, the exhibitor list on InterGem's show page and the picture gallery remain the primary resources for cataloging vendors, product lines and images of engagement ring settings and loose stones that were available on the floor.
