Description
The JOGS Tucson Gem and Jewelry Show is one of the famous shows in the Tucson show. The JOGS consisted of 9 pavilions (over 350 vendors), such as Amber Pavilion, Southwest Pavilion, Top US Turquoise Pavilion, Indonesian Pavilion, Nepal Group Pavilion, International Designers Pavilion, Silver Pavilion, Gemstone Pavilion, and Stone/Mineral Decor Pavilion. These pavilions are inside of the same floor.
They deal with the following: Fine jewelry, Designer jewelry, Gemstones, Precious and semi-precious stones, Native American Jewelry, Diamonds, Emeralds, Turquoise, Baltic amber, Raw materials and minerals, Beads and cabochons, Ethnic/Tribal jewelry, tools, and jewelry packaging.
We highly recommend that you should use pre-registration to skip the waiting line. The morning of the first day, the registration counter, and parking lots will be crowded.
1. Wholesale Buyer Registration (Free Admission)
Professional buyers who meet the requirements can attend JOGS for free. To qualify, you must prove you are an active member of the jewelry or gemstone industry.
Step 1: Prepare Your Documentation
JOGS is strict about verification. You will need to upload or present:
-
Government-issued Photo ID: Passport or Driver’s License.
-
Valid Business License / Resale Certificate: Must show you are in a jewelry-related business.
PRO TIP: An EIN (Employer Identification Number) is NOT sufficient for wholesale status. You must provide a state-issued Resale License or Sales Tax ID.
-
Proof of Industry Involvement: At least two of the following:
-
Invoices from gemstone/jewelry suppliers from the last 12 months.
-
Professional business card (matching the name on your ID).
-
Membership card from a recognized industry guild (e.g., JBT).
-
Step 2: Apply Online
Visit the official JOGS website to fill out the registration form. Pre-registering saves you hours of waiting in line at the Expo Center.
Step 3: Collect Your Badge
Your badge will not be mailed. Bring your confirmation email (printed or on your phone) and your photo ID to the “Pre-Registered” desk at the Tucson Expo Center to print your physical badge.
Please read JOGS Show Buyer Credentials.

Customer reviews of this show
Overpriced
Crystals and Jewelry is very overpriced for wholesale. My retail shop isn’t as expensive as the wholesale prices here. Fun to look but not buy.
High end but also PLENTY of deals!
If you’re looking for very high end gems, jewelry, art, come to JOGS. If you’re looking for quality strung beads of all kinds, come to JOGS. If you’re looking for deals on strung beads,you will absolutely find them here, as well. This is a wholesale only show and they put in a lot of effort to make sure you are, in fact, a wholesale buyer – which I appreciate. I typically go on official opening day and maybe once or twice more before leaving town because there is a LOT here… but it can be very, very busy. The parking lot isn’t huge but it IS free, unless you want to pay for valet, then it’s $10. If the lot is full, you’ll need to find street parking, which isn’t super plentiful. But if you arrive early, or wait till early afternoon, it is a cannot miss show. I’d venture to say whatever you’re looking for, you’ll find some of it here. I’d never miss it!
Disappointing. Find your own parking.
It advertises free parking, but the lots weren’t free and there was valet parking. You can get free parking if you can find a space on the street. The wholesale show looked like it could’ve been good. I couldn’t go to that one, but went to the public show. It was disappointing. Mainly high prices. Customer service needs improvements.
Top Tucson Trade Show for designer jewelry, silver jewelry, gemstones, minerals and diamonds
The 2022 Winter Show was excellent. If you buy wholesale this show is the best in Tucson Most of the dealers and suppliers I shop with were there & everything felt clean & safe. I went on weekdays vs weekends for smaller crowds & I also appreciated the presence of Tucson Sheriffs. Thank you for an excellent job. Stay well. See you in the Fall.
Joggs!!!
This Venue is worth going to Tucson for.. It is the MOST Wonderful event… I would drive to Tucson If they were the only one there…Amazing vendors its so organized and clean.
