Insider Tips on Safely Buying Gemstones Abroad: What You Need to Know

Updated: Feb 24

I’m very excited about being a public speaker at the Big Bead Show 2019.

As well as showcasing the Gemstone Detective books, I will be talking about my global travels and ‘how to make informed choices when buying gemstones abroad’. 


You will learn – what to look out for, what to avoid and, what are the top questions to ask when you are buying gemstones.

Throughout the day there will be a number of expert demonstrations taking place. You’ll find me at the demonstration area at the front of the hall, immediately behind the Bead & Jewellery Magazine stand, at 2.30pm.

If you have an interest in buying gems for making jewellery, come a long and listen to my talk. Or, if you are looking for a public speaker for your own event, I’d love to meet you too.

See you there!
