Dealer Information

“Gems By The Sea” is an entirely indoors show, so the total number of tables available for dealers is limited. 

Dealer participation in the show is by invitation only. Typically our dealer space is full months before the show and there is a waiting list.  We attempt to have quality materials offered and a balance in the varieties and prices.  In addition, preference is given to local area artisans who have unique materials.

If you would like to be considered for an invitation to participate as a dealer, please email 2024show@slogem.org and include the following:

  •                 Name, Address, Phone and Email
  •                 Business Name
  •                 Website URL (including options like Facebook, Instagram, Etsy )
  •                 Description of materials you would be offering and other information you believe relevant
  •                 Three or more photos of your materials
  •                 Photo of your booth at other shows if available

 

Here is the list of dealers who were at the 2023 show.

 

Demonstrations

Do you have a lapidary related craft that you can demonstrate to the public? We would like to have two to four demonstrations during the show hours. The show provides demonstrators a 3″ by 8′ covered table for their use. And if you have a valid seller’s permit, you may sell you craftwork during the show.

If this sounds like something you can do anywhere from half a day to both days, email 2024show@slogem.org with details along with any special needs your demonstration might have.
