Stay tuned to Jewelry Television and JTV.com the week of January 24th, 2012 for the Jewelry Television Gem Congress 2012 event! We’ve asked several of our best gemstone vendors from around the world to make a stop here in Knoxville, Tennessee (home to JTV Headquarters) before travelling to Arizona for the Tucson Gem Show beginning soon. Formerly known as ‘Vendor Fair’, the JTV Gem Congress 2012 is our opportunity to purchase the latest and newest gemstones available in the marketplace, before they take them to Tucson. We’ve challenged our vendors to bring us their best gems, so get ready for some awesome deals on some of the world’s most desirable and highly collectible gemstones! JTV's international team of Gemstone Buyers will be selecting only the finest gems at the best prices possible.
And the best news for you? We’ll air these gems on Jewelry Television and jtv.com before the Tucson show even begins! Stay tuned to Jewelry Television (or watch us live online at jtv.com/live) for all the latest news from this premier event.

What's "Tucson" and Why Do We Keep Talking About It?
If you’ve watched Jewelry Television or shopped JTV.com for any amount of time, you have no doubt heard the term “Tucson” used a lot this time of year. "Tucson" is the abbreviated name we use for the largest gem show in the United States, located in Tucson, Arizona. Every February this event (more officially known as the Tucson Gem Fair or Tucson Gem Show) commands the attention of the gemstone, jewelry, beading, mineral specimen and gemstone collectible worlds. Vendors and buyers from around the globe make their way to Arizona for this ‘can’t miss’ event, keeping their ears to the ground for news on the latest discoveries, the best buys and what their competitors are doing.
