Intergalactic Jewelry & Bead Show has spectacular gemstones (Photos)

The Intergalactic Bead & Jewelry Shows, Inc. is having a great show - and Sunday, Sept. 9, 2012 is the last day. This is not your grandmother’s hobby of trinkets of yesteryear. They have an unbelievable collection of semiprecious stones in all shapes and sizes. There is also a variety of colors and shades to choose from. You have to see it to believe it. They do not call it the Intergalactic Show for nothing. They have things from all over the planet.

For antique shoppers there are several dealers who have antique pieces that are handmade. They look authentic because they are authentic. For people with antique jewelry that they only have parts of this is a great opportunity to put them with something from this show to make a wearable necklace or earrings, etc. There are all kinds of jewelry making items in silver, gold or leather. Everything is very affordable. Local businesses like the Charleston Bead Company can put it together for you at another time.

This event gives shoppers a chance to meet the dealers and get their website addresses for future purchases. If you are going to buy on the Internet, it is always better to have met and know the people you are doing business with!

It is being held at the Omar Shrine Temple at 176 Patriots Point Dr., Mt. Pleasant, SC 29464. This is a very convenient location in a landmark building. There is plenty of free parking. The cost of admission on Sunday is $4.00. Sunday times are 10pm-5pm.

The show is sponsored by Beads of Cambay which is located in Lawrenceville, GA. They have one of the largest and most extensive exhibits in the show. Their website is www.beadsofcambay.com. The website of the show is www.BeadShows.com. They sponsor shows all over the South almost every weekend. The next show in Charleston, SC is Sept. 7 & 8, 2013.
