Buyer Registration
Beginning with the 2025 show, and going forward, buyers will be required to register annually.
If you attended any shows prior to 2025, your information is no longer in the system.
GJX is a “wholesale-to-the-trade only” show for qualified buyers who are engaged in the gem and jewelry industry, or its related products, and is not open to the public. GJX reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to determine if a buyer is qualified to attend the show based on the information provided by the registrant.
No infants, or children under the age of 14 are allowed on the show floor. A photo ID is required for all children over the age of 14. (A passport, state issued ID or current school ID.)
Please come up to the Pre-Registered counter with your photo ID to receive your badge.
