After having a booth at the largest gem show in Canada for 22 years, this was only our second time coming up as visitors. We closed our shows in 2017 to concentrate on our gallery and our stores as many of you know, so it was naturally a little bit strange being on the other side of the booths. Nonetheless, we had a wonderful time catching up with our old friends (both dealers and guests), and enjoying the vibe of this great show.
Hope you enjoy the pictures of our visit:
Wee hours of the shows opening, the hungry crowds came early. This is the hill connecting the 2 arenas that make up the gem show
