GLW Shows Returns to Orlando with Premier Wholesale Gem and Jewelry Event

ORLANDO, FL – October 21, 2025 – Gem & Lapidary Wholesalers Inc. (GLW Shows) announces its highly anticipated Orlando Gem Show, taking place October 24-26, 2025, at Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Florida. The wholesale-only event will feature dozens of exhibitors showcasing gemstones, minerals, jewelry, beads, and lapidary supplies to qualified buyers from across the Southeast and beyond.

‍

As part of GLW's 18-show annual circuit, the Orlando event has become a cornerstone sourcing opportunity for jewelry retailers, designers, manufacturers, and online sellers seeking unique products and competitive wholesale pricing. With over 50 years of industry experience, GLW Shows continues to provide a professional, relationship-focused environment where serious business gets done.

‍

"Orlando has always been a strong market for us," said Felicia Crigler, Chief Operating Officer, GLW Shows. "Our buyers appreciate the wholesale-only format, which means they're not competing with retail shoppers. They come to build relationships with trusted exhibitors and source products they can't find anywhere else."

‍

Event Highlights

‍

The three-day show will feature a diverse array of exhibitors specializing in:

• Gemstones and Minerals: From classic favorites to rare specimens
• Jewelry: Finished pieces and components for designers and retailers
• Metaphysical Crystals: Meeting growing consumer demand for wellness and spiritual products
• Beads and Findings: Comprehensive supplies for jewelry makers

‍

Wholesale-Only Professional Environment

‍

GLW Shows maintains a strict wholesale-only policy, ensuring a focused business environment. All attendees must present a valid state sales tax license for entry. This policy has made GLW Shows the preferred sourcing destination for serious buyers who value quality, authenticity, and professional relationships.

‍

"We've built our reputation on trust and reliability," Crigler added. "Our exhibitors return show after show because they know they'll meet qualified buyers. Our buyers return because they know they'll find quality products and fair pricing. That's the GLW difference."

‍

Strategic Timing for Holiday and Spring Sourcing

‍

The October Orlando Gem Show provides retailers with a strategic opportunity to refresh inventory between the holiday season and spring buying. Many buyers use the event to test new products, discover emerging trends, and strengthen supplier relationships before the busy Tucson Gem Show season in January.

‍

"With 18 shows per year across eight markets, GLW provides more opportunities to source than any other wholesale gem show circuit," Crigler noted. "Buyers can attend our Orlando show in October, then join us again in January for Asheville, Lakeland, and our flagship Tucson events."
