Off to the Tucson Gemfair!

The Tucson Gemfair is one of the biggest in the world, with over 700 exhibitors from America and worldwide displaying the very latest in Jewellery and Gemstone trends. 

Tucson is the second-largest town in Arizona apart from its captial Phoenix. It boasts a grand total of 350 sunny days a year on average and is a literal hotbed of activity and cutting-edge style. This is on the way to the loooong two-hour drive from Phoenix to Tucson. Never say we don't suffer for our art!

Finally there! Nestled in a grand valley, Tucson doesn't let the sun get in the way of the nighttime bustle - it is one of the most busy tourist locations in America!

If you want to be down with the latest in Jewellery fashion and style, drop on in on us at the Congress Hotel! A favourite for Karin Tremonti and her friends!

This is our "Base Camp" for Private Shows (of the Jewellery kind!) and a little breather from the chaos of the Gem Fair!

As you can see, the Hotel Congress is high on style, but it's not very fancy or modern! We rest up 1920's style to save the cutting edge fashion for our customers!

Just a little peek at the surroundings of Tucson. It's hard to imagine how rural everything is when this city is so busy all the time!

And here we have the Tucson AGTA Gem Fair. Looking at this flat cacti-covered land, you wouldn't be able to tell that over 700 companies trading in rare and amazing gemstones and jewellery would be stationed here!

Tremonti always like to add their own unique twist to the show; in 2012 we decided it needed a bit of "Doctoring" to enhance its taste! What have we got planned for 2013? Keep tuned and find out...

Of course it's not all nursing and sitting around, the Tremonti stall is full of brand-new designs and rare Diamond and Gemstone delights. Many of the items on offer are completely fresh and made especially for the show!

Karin Tremonti's children Lynette and Alexander travelled along with their jetsetting jewellerymaker mother to experience the latest in Gemmological style. Let's take a look at some of the Gemstones on offer, eh?

With the same keen interest and passion for Gemstones as their mother, the two got to work exploring all of the amazing Gemstones and crystals on offer.

Size matters! Take a look at this enormous pair!

Gemstones of all sizes to captivate the senses - this really is a treat for the gemfan's sweet tooth.

These amazing Gemstone displays are typical at the Tucson Gemfair. They speak style, quality and SIZE. Little is a bad word here - and the vendors at Tucson are here to get everyone sorted

As usual, the men aren't so captured by big sparkly rocks...

But they're always a winner with the girls! (and the boys that want to capture their hearts)

Sadly, all good things must come to an end... Stay tuned, we'll let you know what trouble we get into for Tucson 2013!
