Tucson Gem Show

Oh how I love Tucson.  Mix an incredible Arizona city, gemstones of every color and size, and a sprinkle of gem-aholic humans...and it's a wonderful recipe!

For DIY humans on the quest for jewelry perfection, this show is a MUST. 

Along with all the bits and bobs necessary for jewelry design and creation, the Tucson gemshow sparkles with humans on the same geological journey.  The interaction with other like minded artisans is amazingly inspiring.  For example, I was with two people admiring the same silver findings.  And I mean the SAME silver findings.  Yet each of us had a compleltey different end product in mind!  It was wonderful!

So no matter what you are designing today, make it YOURS.  Even if you are basing your design on another's, make it your own by adding different bits and bobs.  Or changing the stones used.  Or chaging the metals. 

YOU are a creative soul.  Long live the DIY spirit!!
