Welcome to Travel 4 Gems

I’m Dave.  I am a Gemologist, collector, gem dealer, writer and photographer and I’ll be your host on journeys to exotic destinations where you can go for fine gems, sparkling diamonds and spectacular jewerly.

It may be the Duty Free Ports of the Caribbean or the Diamond Distric in New York City.  We’ll go to major gem shows in Tucson, Las Vegas, Bangkok and Hong Kong and maybe even a small show in your own hometown.   We’ll visit diamond mines in Arkansas and Ruby mines in North Carolina.  How about a trip to a gem market in Thailand, Burma or Cambodia.  Shall we seek spinels in Vietnam?  Of course!

In this site you’ll find destination guides, travel essays and my personal travel blog.   You can follow me as I Travel4Gems
