The idea
Your friends. Your place. Your GemFest.
Gems & Gatherings brings the warmth of GemFest into living rooms and cafés. You invite 10–15 friends, neighbors or fellow gem lovers. Together you tune into a GemFest broadcast or a curated Shop LC gem showcase, pass around your favorite pieces, swap the stories behind them, and finish with a raffle.
No expertise needed — just a love for that moment when a friend lights up over a Colombian Emerald or a sparkling Tanzanite. As Host, you’re the reason the room comes together. Shop LC takes care of the rest.
