International
Jewelry Show
The Prospector Jewelers will be closed Friday, June 4th through Thursday, June 10th to attend our 15th annual International Jewelry Show. This is our opportunity to replenish our inventory and get a hedge on viewing the newest designs and products. This in turn enables us to serve you better. We will reopen Friday, June 11th for your jewelry needs. While this is the leading event in the United States serving the fine jewelry market, we also find it to be a forum where industry professionals gather to showcase the latest creations, introduce new products, and network together. In addition to purchasing the latest designs & gemstones for our store, we also serve as a broker for some of our customers, finding the perfect diamond or gemstone for them. This can be your decision to choose the size, shape, and variety of gemstone you wish--not just accept what is available on the current market. It's the journey of your special gemstone--from the earth, to the cutter, to you--no previous owner or stops along the way. Call (814-793-4479) us or email today for any requests and experience The Prospector Difference. |
