Gem Faire makes dazzling return to Hillsboro with jewelry, stones

The Gem Faire is back to light up Hillsboro with sparkle and shine from Friday, June 21, through Sunday, June 23.

Deemed “America’s premier jewelry and bead show,” the three-day event will take place at the Westside Commons, 801 N.E. 34th Ave.

Jewelry enjoyers and stone enthusiasts can expect to find the largest assortment of fine jewelry, crystals, gemstones, beads, minerals, fossils and more — all under one roof.

Attendees can buy directly from importers and wholesalers, offering everything from loose gemstones and raw minerals to millions of bead strands, finished jewelry and fashion accessories.

While looking at dazzling displays, shoppers can capitalize on jewelry repairs, cleaning and ring sizing services. Educational demonstrations provided by Portland Bead Society will also be available all weekend.

Admission costs $7, which gives access for the entire weekend. Hours are noon to 6 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.
