The JOGS Tucson Gem & Jewelry Show, a major component of the Tucson trade-show season
JOGS is the trading name of the JOGS Tucson Gem & Jewelry Show, one of the principal trade events held in Tucson, Arizona, during the city's annual gem-show season each January and February. The event is privately organised, distinct from the AGTA, GJX, and Tucson Gem & Mineral Society shows, and presents a mixed exhibitor base of coloured-stone dealers, finished-jewellery suppliers, designer studios, and lapidary equipment vendors.
Trade Position
JOGS is regarded within the Tucson season as a mid-tier event, with exhibitor pricing and stand sizes accessible to smaller dealers and to first-time international exhibitors. The buyer audience is correspondingly broad, including independent retail jewellers, designer-makers, bench jewellers, and lapidary hobbyists. Supply emphasis falls on coloured stones and finished mounted jewellery, with a smaller diamond and pearl component than at the larger AGTA show. Several thousand exhibitors and tens of thousands of visitors attend across the show period, distributed across multiple venues in the Tucson Convention Center area.
