Participating suppliers at this event include Anza Gems, Agere Treasures, Capricorn Gems, Columbia Gem House, Nature’s Geometry, Perpetuum Jewels, and Virtu Gems. Each supplier will showcase gemstones with a transparent sourcing journey, said organizers, highlighting ethical practices that support artisanal miners, their communities, and skilled faceters worldwide. The fair will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. On Saturday, July 26, the fair will host an evening social with the Seattle Jewelry Community from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Separate registration is required.
A “Lox & Rocks” educational session will be held on Sunday, July 27, from 10 to 11 a.m., featuring discussions with supplier principals about responsible sourcing, supply chain transparency, and evolving practices in the gem trade. Coffee and bagels will be provided.
Raffle tickets will be available during the show, offering a chance to win gemstones donated by each supplier, with all proceeds benefiting the Seattle Jewelry Community. The drawing will take place July 27 at 4 p.m. Pre-registration is required for the Ethical Gem Fair and can be done here. The venue address will be provided upon approval.
