About This Show
AI-drafted summaryAGTA GemFair Las Vegas is a wholesale gemstone and jewelry trade fair presented by the American Gem Trade Association (AGTA) as part of the JCK Las Vegas show. Held in the AGTA Pavilion within The Venetian Expo, the event is described by its organizer as the destination for color at North America's most important global jewelry trade fair. Buyers can source responsibly sourced natural colored gemstones, natural pearls, cultured pearls, and colored gemstone jewelry directly from AGTA member exhibitors.
The show is open only to qualified jewelry and gemstone industry professionals — retailers, designers, and trade buyers — and is not open to the general public. Every AGTA dealer commits to a strict, AGTA-enforced Code of Ethics and Business Practices, so attendees can 'Buy With Confidence' and 'Sell With Confidence.'
A key advantage of AGTA GemFair is timing: the AGTA Pavilion opens one day before the main JCK Show floor, giving buyers early access to exhibitors before the rest of the show opens. As an anchor within JCK Las Vegas, it combines a curated, standards-based colored-stone marketplace with access to the broader JCK jewelry event.
Show Highlights
- AGTA Pavilion at JCK: A dedicated pavilion of AGTA member dealers located on Level 2 in Halls C & D, behind Luxury and next to The Plumb Club.
- Early access: The AGTA Pavilion opens one day before the main JCK Show floor, letting buyers shop exhibitors ahead of the wider show.
- Color-focused sourcing: Natural colored gemstones, natural pearls, cultured pearls, and colored gemstone jewelry that helps define color trends.
- Ethical assurance: Every exhibiting dealer adheres to the AGTA Code of Ethics and Business Practices; manmade gemstones are not displayed or sold at AGTA shows.
- Direct purchasing: Attendees may buy directly from AGTA exhibitors from their booths in the pavilion.
- Related industry programs: AGTA also runs the Spectrum & Cutting Edge Awards, recognizing excellence in colored gemstone jewelry design and cutting.

History
The American Gem Trade Association's presence at JCK Las Vegas traces back to 1992, when ninety-two AGTA members formed the 'Gemstones of the World' section at Jewelry '92, the JCK-sponsored jewelry show in Las Vegas. Over the following decades the AGTA Las Vegas event ran in several formats and locations, both with and without JCK.
After parting ways in 2019, AGTA GemFair Las Vegas returned to the JCK show in 2022, and the organization has since positioned the GemFair as an anchor of the JCK show. The 2023 edition introduced a Fine Gems pavilion for the first time. Today the event is held at The Venetian Expo in the AGTA Pavilion as an integral part of JCK Las Vegas.
