More than a thousand people are expected to visit this year's Silver Jewelry Show




SILVER CITY — For the past 25 years, it has been a silver jewelry and gem event that many look forward to — and not just folks from Silver City.

"It's the first silver jewelry and gem show I have been to in 20 years," said Randy Foster of Nashville. "This is the reason we came to Silver City this week."

Every year, the Grant County Rolling Stones go out of their way to make sure there is something for everyone. Of course, you will find gems and minerals in every shape and size, some raw, others cut, and then, if you want something really fancy, they will even polish them for you. But, it really is a lot more to it than that. You can find jewelry, huge sea shells and even belt buckles made out of bullets.

"I think it's one of the best shows they have had in years," said Patricia Falley of Silver City. "The quality is good and the prices are right."

Vendors from all over the Southwest have come to Silver City for the three-day silver jewelry and gem event, which started Saturday and runs through Monday.

Local silver jewelry and gem artists are also well represented. "We have some fabulous local talent," said organizer Judy Allen. "We have some of the best artists in the Southwest right here in Grant County."

Artists seemed pleased with how fast folks were snapping up the sparkling silver jewelry, gems and other jewels.

"Good, very good," said Therese Higgins, who is also known as Silver City's Jewelry Lady. "They barely advertised last year, but this year they did, and it has been very good."

"It is a a little smaller crowd than last year, but it's a good silver jewelry and gem show," vendor Joe Harris said.

Organizers are hoping that nice weather will bring more than 1,000 visitors to the long weekend event. "The weather has been wonderful so far," said Allen. "Just look at this weather. The vendors are really happy."

The best part of the silver jewelry and gem show for many is the price tag — admission is free. You can also catch a free ride from the Burger King parking lot on the Corre Caminos shuttle bus every 20 minutes. The show runs today from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Monday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Silver City Recreation Center. If you are not familiar with the area, just follow the signs.

Thanks for the great article 1st! With aid of improving ur life on net, I’d like to introduce something about Jordan Shoes to u. That’s right, something about Air Jordan or we can say something about Nike Shoes (Nike Air)and whatnot. Depending on the economy crisis, so many people start purchasing items on net cos that can save much money. The point is how to search a good place for jordan shoes? There’re millions of site supply different kinds of air jordans and which site is the place we can order for jordan shoes? All of us know that some of them are unauthentic or their air jordans weren’t good enough. For example: my sister bought a pair of UGG Boots from one site ,then she got the shoes so fast, and my classmate purhcase UGG Slippers on the other site but she didn’t get the slippers for a long time. The same as Silver Jewelry, especially Tiffany such household name. Back to our question, how to find “Mr right”? My suggestion is contact their online support! There should be the great livesupport on the great site, so before you place the order for Jordan Shoes, go to their support! Good luck!
