What's Hot In Tucson 2011 - Gems & Jewelry!


Normally I would write this up in my Tucson Gem Show blog but this is something really exciting for the Jewelry & Gem Industries that you might have missed!

People ask why I make the annual trek to the Tucson desert - this video will explain everything!

BlueCap Productions has been filming What's Hot In Tucson for the last five years - prior to 2010 they only covered the Mineral shows.  In 2010 they premiered the first What's Hot in Tucson - Gems & Jewelry!

One of the WHIT claims to fame is the level of the Hosts...Dave Wilbur and Bob Jones need no introduction in the Mineral field - their reputations are legend.  BlueCap has chosen well for their Gems & Jewelry product.   Hostess Delphine LeBlanc is lovely, knowledgeable and has the most exotic accent!


The AGTA GemFair is THE most exclusive show in Tucson and it is Trade only!  This video offers you THE ONLY Insider's view of the show...the video below will show you some of the highlights of the 2011 show.

  •      the 104 carat Sugar Loaf cut Tanzanite from InterColor

  •      pearls of every kind from American Pearl Company
  •      Gem Treatment updates from the American Gemological Laboratories
  •      a conversation with Todd Reed on raw diamonds
  •      and a wonderful conversation with Jeffrey Bilgore on how he designs (this is worth the price of the      video alone!)

All That Glitters...in San Diego...


All That Glitters: San Diego Museum Launches Two-Year Exhibition

Pala International to provide 100 gems and minerals


The San Diego Natural History Museum is opening an exciting new exhibit for all those gem lovers out there. “All that Glitters: The Splendor & Science of Gems and Minerals” will include mineral specimens, faceted gemstones, and designer jewelry. It tells the story from the formation of gems within the Earth to Man’s creations employing all the wonderful gem materials. The exhibit will appropriately focus on the fascinating array of gems and minerals found in San Diego County, along with a wide variety from major gem producing regions around the Earth.

Over 100 gems and mineral specimens will be provided by Pala International. Prominent names in the industry like Tiffany & Co., Van Cleef & Arpels, and Cartier will provide a wide range of original jewelry pieces. Harvard University, the Smithsonian, the American Museum of Natural History, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston all will be adding to the extravaganza with more jewels and mineral specimens.

The exhibit opens May 15, 2010 and is scheduled to run through April 2012. “In addition to demonstrating the ‘splendor and science of gems and minerals,’ All That Glitters will have a playful side,” says Exhibition Curator and Graduate Gemologist Elise B. Misiorowski. “Jewels and carvings incorporating natural-history themes will give children as well as adults delightful surprises to hunt for. How many jeweled butterflies, birds, and flowers can you find? Which case contains the Faberge carved pig with diamond eyes?”
