The Charlotte Gift & Jewelry Show

  The Charlotte Merchandise Mart in Charlotte, North Carolina is home to the June Charlotte Gift & Jewelry Show on Saturday, June 27 through Monday, June 29. Show hours are from 9am to 5pm on Saturday and Sunday and 9am to 3pm on Monday.

Categories of exhibitors include General Giftware, fine jewelry, decorative accessories, fashion jewelry, sterling silver, accessories and much more. About 5,000 buyers attend this show. So if you are looking for a smaller, more personable show, this is the place to go.  Especially if you have just started your business, I find that the smaller shows are much easier to maneuver and not as overwhelming as the larger ones. Plus you can still find plenty of vendors with great merchandise!

You do need credentials to attend the show. Need more information? Visit their website.

And if I can answer any of your questions or you have any comments about the Charlotte show, please post them here.

We also sell wholesale jewelry with very low minimums. I am always happy to answer all questions. Please post any questions or comments on this blog.
