International Gem & Jewelry Show - InterGem® Herndon

The International Gem & Jewelry Show – InterGem® is one of the best-known consumer and trade shows for jewellery, gemstones and jewellery-making supplies in the United States. Its defining feature is direct purchasing without intermediaries, allowing visitors to benefit from an exceptional selection, competitive prices and personalised advice from exhibitors.

The event in Herndon, Virginia, is held at the Hyatt Regency Dulles, a modern hotel and conference venue conveniently located close to Washington Dulles International Airport. It is organised by the family-owned InterGem, Inc., which was founded in 1967. The company stages the oldest and one of the largest direct-to-consumer jewellery shows in the United States. With more than 60 events held each year across major metropolitan areas, InterGem® has established itself as a leading name in the American jewellery and gemstone industry.

The exhibition showcases a wide range of loose gemstones, including diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds and opals, as well as numerous other precious and semi-precious stones. The offering is complemented by minerals and collectors' specimens, together with fine jewellery crafted in gold, silver and platinum and set with diamonds, pearls or coloured gemstones. Visitors can also explore engagement and wedding rings, handcrafted designer pieces, vintage and antique jewellery, and contemporary fashion jewellery collections. Jewellery-making materials and supplies, including beads, crystals, chains, settings, clasps, jewellery components and professional tools, are also available. The range is further enhanced by watches, charms, decorative accessories and distinctive gift ideas.

A further highlight is the range of services on offer. Visitors can have jewellery professionally cleaned or repaired, seek advice from experienced gemmologists and specialist dealers, or commission bespoke jewellery tailored to their individual requirements. This combination of shopping opportunities, expert guidance and customised solutions makes InterGem® equally appealing to private jewellery enthusiasts and professional buyers.

Among the event's main attractions are its diverse international exhibitor base, the opportunity to purchase high-quality jewellery directly from manufacturers, and a programme of special exhibitions showcasing exclusive collections.
