Gem Faire San Francisco 2007
posted by Colleen Shirazi, March 21, 2007 at 10:38 PM (Pacific)

They had this in San Francisco and I managed to get out for one of the three-day-weekend shows. I would have liked to have gone again...this one was roughly twice the size of the one I went to last year...lots and lots of stuff.

I ended up buying from two merchants (last year I bought from only one...the same one I bought from this year). I got some American turquoise rounds and barrel shaped beads. Also small labradorite rounds...pretty good "flash" for the cut and size, although it looked as much golden as blue...labradorite rondelles, aquamarine rondelles...and from the other merchant, freshwater pearls.

This show had a lot of items the other show didn't...kyanite, amber, greenish American turquoise, Hill Tribe silver, some Bali style items... I suppose it might be good I didn't go a second time. You have to pace yourself with this stuff.
