The G.L.D.A.’s 2008 Tucson Gem & Jewelry Show Experience.

G.L.D.A. celebrates its 30th anniversary!!

G.L.D.A. Inc’s 30th year in the Tucson Gem and Jewelry Show was held February 5-10, 2008. It was once again a valuable experience for exhibitors and buyers alike.  You can have it all at the G.L.D.A. show because there is so much variety housed under one roof - there is something for everyone.  Everywhere you turn is a spectacular display of some of nature and man’s best quality work.  The show is a feast for the eyes, a festival of colors, and an exquisite array of creative designs.  Surrounded by the pleasant Arizona winter weather and luxuriousness of the Starr Pass Marriott Resort Hotel and Spa this show is as unique as the merchandise and people it attracts.

Treasures of the show revealed a variety of offerings: pearls, diamonds, tanzanite, rubies, emeralds, unusual stones, direct source exhibitors, finished goods manufacturers, suppliers, equipment companies, carvings, sculptures, silver jewelry, beads, antique jewelry, and more. The German Group once again impressed everyone with their fabulously designed room filled with the most unique finished jewelry, stones and watches. [Read More]
