What I came home with.
I am embarrassed to say I have been designing jewelry for 2 years now, and I haven't been to the Gem Faire until today. Oh my gosh I was like a kid in a candy store. This place is definitely a must for the expert jeweler or even the novice jeweler. Let me make a few suggestions:
1)Bring your own water as they cost $3.50
2)Bring cash, although almost everyone has credit card machines
3)Don't buy the first thing you see, especially don't be tempted by the front booths.
4)I found that the best deals are usually towards the back.
5)Don't be afraid to negotiate if you are buying a lot. Hey it doesn't hurt to ask.
6)Control yourself. I know that is the hardest part.
