International Gem & Jewelry Show

If you like sparkly things, this is the place to be.  For three days only, this traveling expo docks itself in Santa Monica for your perusing pleasure.  Baubles, bangles, and beads galore, you'll feel like you're in Kismet.  Since it is a big fancy show with about 250 exhibitors, you're bound to score a good deal.  Head to the website for discounted tickets, which, by the way, are good for admittance to all three days of the show.
