Beads After Beads 2026
Beads After Beads is a traveling gemstone and jewelry trade show organized under the INTERGEM show format, exhibiting an extensive collection of precious and semi-precious beads, coral, pearls, crystals, cubic zirconia, pendants and jewelry findings for jewelry makers and enthusiasts.
Product families on display include precious beads (ruby, emerald, blue sapphire, tundra-sapphire, real diamond), semi-precious beads (green jade, onyx, amethyst, garnet, quartz varieties, sandstone, turquoise, tiger's eye, cat's eye, lapis lazuli, citrine, peridot, spinel, tourmaline, hassonite, topaz), natural and dyed coral beads, pearl jewelry and one-gram gold exclusive designs, loose stones, cubic zirconia and Swarovski crystals, pendant sets, and individual items such as flowers, jade leaves, drums, cabs and findings.
Show hours for this edition: Friday 12:00-18:00, Saturday 10:00-18:00, Sunday 11:00-17:00. The organizer's official show schedule (beadsafterbeads.com/pages/show-schedule, schedule data served from beadsafterbeads.net/show/events2) lists the San Mateo County Event Center (Expo Hall), 1346 Saratoga Dr, San Mateo, CA 94403 for 27-29 November 2026, alongside other 2026 editions in Marlborough MA (23-25 October), Columbus OH (6-8 November), Rosemont IL (11-13 December) and Sterling VA (18-20 December).
Admin note: the CMS record was previously flagged wrong_site because the Shopify storefront at beadsafterbeads.com appeared to be a retail shop; the show-schedule page is in fact the organizer's owned exhibition schedule, so this row is a genuine trade show and has been verified and republished. Sister editions in other cities (e.g. Best Western Royal Plaza & Trade Center, Marlborough MA, venue id 6298) are separate occurrences of the same traveling show; Admin may decide whether to keep them as one rotating record or split them.
