Hello Members,

    I'm a lurker of several years, and I need your help. I've recently
    started making jewelry full time, of the drilled stone and prefab
    findings variety, and have also started studying how to fabricate
    "real" jewelry.  I want to go to Tuscon (I have family there so last
    minute lodgings are not a problem!) but am ambivalent as to whether
    to go as I'm so confused as to WHAT shows to go to. I'm looking for
    the  unusual and unique drilled stones and pendants. (The kind of
    stuff that just doesn't make it to our local Gem and Jewelry show.)
    I have studied all the show web sites but they are not very helpful,
     and I can't tell which shows have what type product.  The only time
    I can go is Jan 27-30, but it looks like some of the better shows
    with lapidary artists are not till Feb.? Does anyone have any advise
    or can tell me whether there are worthwhile venues during the
    beginning of the show?  Do the more unusual offerings disappear the
    first day  of being offered? How long do you typically stay there
    when buying materials? Thank you so much, 

Carolyn
