The 43rd annual Handmade Jewelry Rock and Gem Show  will be held on Saturday, October 26, 9 a.m.- 5 p.m. and Sunday, October 27, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m., at the Port St. Lucie Civic Center. The event is fun for attendees searching for a special piece of jewelry for themselves or a loved one. For those who create unique jewelry, they can find special elements to make their piece sing. This event is perfect for those who love geology or gemology or just enjoy looking at beautiful things from nature.

Shop from and be inspired by over 35 artisans and vendors. Watch demonstrations ranging from bead weaving and wire wrapping to faceting gems and cabbing stones. Participate in hourly raffles and a silent auction of jewelry, beads, books and equipment. Bring the kids to learn about gemstone identification and watch them make their own jewelry.

Admission is $5 online (etix.com) or $6 at the door. The show is sponsored by the St. Lucie County Rock and Gem Club and co-sponsored by Scented Dragon, Treasure Coast Estate Buyers, and Jewelry Design Studio. Proceeds fund a scholarship for a student in the earth sciences or arts program at Indian River State College.
