May I suggest you attend the Intergem show anyway, if you like gems and jewelry or like to bead? It is not a great source for temporarily strung pearls, (though there are a a few dealers who sell commercial grade pearls) but I have found some nice semi-precious stone beads there. We're going to one upcoming in a few weeks.
