The last year and a half has been challenging for the jewelry industry’s global trade shows. The COVID-19 pandemic shut down much of the planet in 2020, and nearly all major fair organizers were forced to cancel or delay their biggest (and most lucrative) events.
But the fog is lifting, and in-person trade events are returning. The pandemic remains ongoing, but infection numbers in many nations, including the United States, have plummeted as millions have been inoculated against the virus.
Will attendance at shows reach pre-pandemic levels? Will the shows be as large and varied? Both are difficult to predict. Nonetheless, it’s heartening to see so many major shows revert back to live and in-person formats.

Last month, around 70 colored-stone dealers flew from India to attend one of the handful of gem shows taking place this year in Tucson. But, according to a report in
India Today, when they landed at San Francisco International Airport (pictured), they were stopped by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents, who checked if the gem dealers had the proper business visas.
When most didn’t, not only were the dealers denied entrance into the United States and sent on a 17-hour flight home, but some were banned from reentering the country for the next five years, the report says.
