International Gem & Jewelry Show - InterGem® Austin

The International Gem & Jewelry Show – InterGem® is one of the largest direct-to-consumer jewellery, gemstones and minerals exhibitions in the United States. For decades, the name InterGem has been synonymous with buying high-quality jewellery directly, without intermediaries. Combining the professional atmosphere of a trade fair with the accessibility of a consumer exhibition, the event gives both industry professionals and private buyers the opportunity to connect directly with manufacturers, wholesalers, goldsmiths and jewellery designers. In Austin, the show is held twice a year at the Palmer Events Center.

The event is organised by InterGem, Inc., a company specialising in jewellery and gemstone exhibitions that has been staging a nationwide portfolio of events for many years. InterGem® forms part of a series of exhibitions held in numerous cities across the United States and has established itself as a leading marketplace for purchasing jewellery directly while fostering personal interaction between exhibitors and buyers.

The exhibition showcases fine jewellery, loose gemstones, diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, opals and a wide range of other precious and semi-precious stones. The selection also includes freshwater, Akoya, Tahitian and South Sea pearls, premium pearl jewellery, engagement and wedding rings, antique jewellery, vintage and estate jewellery, designer collections and bespoke jewellery pieces. In addition, exhibitors present pearls, settings, chains, clasps and other jewellery-making supplies, along with watches, jewellery accessories and carefully selected gift items. The offering is complemented by professional services such as jewellery cleaning, repairs, and expert advice on the care and preservation of fine jewellery.

InterGem® plays an important role for Austin and the state of Texas by bringing together buyers, collectors and industry professionals from across the region while connecting the local jewellery trade with international manufacturers and gemstone dealers. Its direct-sales concept provides visitors with an exceptional selection of products, personalised advice and competitive prices made possible by eliminating the traditional retail mark-up.

One of the exhibition's key attractions is the rare opportunity to purchase gemstones and jewellery directly from producers, importers and designers, as well as to commission bespoke jewellery tailored to individual preferences.

Exhibitors represent a broad cross-section of the jewellery industry, including jewellery manufacturing, jewellery design, goldsmithing, gemstone and diamond trading, pearl and mineral trading, as well as wholesalers of jewellery-making supplies and tools. The exhibition attracts a diverse audience, including private jewellery enthusiasts, collectors and investors, alongside jewellers, goldsmiths, jewellery designers, resellers and other trade professionals from the jewellery and gemstone sectors.

The Palmer Events Center provides Austin with a modern, centrally located venue on the shores of Lady Bird Lake. Easily accessible by car, public transport and from Austin–Bergstrom International Airport, the venue offers excellent facilities and convenient access for regional, national and international visitors alike.

The International Gem & Jewelry Show - InterGem® will take place on 3 days from Friday, 02. October to Sunday, 04. October 2026 in Austin.
