Announcement: This Year’s Prize Collection for the 25th Annual Colored Gem Show

This Thursday – Saturday, November 2nd – 4th, we’re inviting you to experience the world of color! Straight from a fifth-generation cutting house in Idar-Oberstein, Germany, a collection of colored gemstones rivaling those in museums around the world is on its way to historic Downtown Wheaton.

Showing so much more than emeralds, diamonds and rubies – a demonstration of an entire spectrum of stones, our Colored Gem Show is a highly-anticipated event for gemstone and fine-jewelry enthusiasts. Those who attend the show annually know the breadth and beauty of the collection and can attest to what a captivating experience it is.

As is tradition, guests at the gem show can enter to win one of three gorgeous pieces from our collection. This year’s collection includes:
