International Gem & Jewelry Show Pasadena

The International Gem & Jewelry Show (InterGem), founded in 1967, is the oldest and most prestigious consumer fair for gemstones and jewelry in the United States. It has become synonymous with a unique shopping experience that attracts thousands of jewelry enthusiasts, collectors, and industry professionals from across North America every year. Once a year, the Pasadena Convention Center in the heart of Pasadena, California, transforms into a vibrant hub for all those passionate about high-quality gemstones, designer jewelry, and handcrafted treasures.

The event is organized by InterGem, Inc., a company that has been regarded as a reliable partner to the international jewelry and gemstone industry for more than five decades. True to its direct-to-consumer approach, the InterGem Show offers a platform where visitors can purchase directly from manufacturers, wholesalers, and designers without intermediaries. This model ensures transparency, attractive terms, and the opportunity to experience innovations and trends firsthand.

At the center of the show is a wide selection of gemstones, including diamonds, opals, pearls, and semi-precious stones. This range is complemented by fine jewelry, vintage pieces, custom-made one-of-a-kind items, and exclusive accessories. Watches, bracelets, necklaces, jewelry components, care products, and specialized services for cleaning and maintenance are also part of the program. The event is designed for end consumers as well as store owners, wholesale customers, goldsmiths, jewelers, and collectors. Different access and pricing regulations apply for each target group, making the show equally attractive for professionals and private customers alike.

The fair has established itself as a marketplace that offers not only products but also inspiration and expertise. Regular highlights include special exhibitions on current jewelry trends, workshops, and expert lectures. Exhibitors represent all sectors of the jewelry and gemstone industry—from international mining operators and innovative jewelry designers to established traditional companies.

Pasadena is renowned for its vibrant art scene, historic architecture, and its role as a cultural hub in the greater Los Angeles area. The modern Pasadena Convention Center is conveniently located and easily accessible by public transportation or car, ensuring a pleasant and hassle-free visit. Each year, InterGem in Pasadena becomes the meeting place for everyone seeking something special in jewelry and gemstones—authentic, diverse, and of the highest quality.
