We, at Gemewizard, are always excited at gem shows. We recognize the value of first-hand info about market trends, new sources of gems, availability and pricing. We combine this info with other online gathered data and consultants to have a much clearer view of the trade. The following report includes the summation of our team’s inputs from this year’s February Tucson and March Hong Kong Gem shows.

2017 is now officially here, just barely over the doorstep, and with it the promise of new amazing gems that would crown this year's sales. But before we bid goodbye to 2016, it is time to take a small step back and recapitulate on the major gem achievements of the year. 2016 was a busy year when it comes to auctions of colored diamonds, and what fascinating gems it brought with it!
