WHY ATTEND THE OJB EXPERIENCE
Welcome to the 'Out of the Jewel Box' Experience.
This exclusive in-person event offers a unique alternative to the traditional trade show experience. Not intended to compete with the established shows in Tucson, this alterative concept was created to offer a select group of exhibitors and attendees a relaxed and intimate setting for networking, product showcasing, and business interactions.
Attendees are welcome to utilize the lounge area designed for networking and collaborative work.
The venue serves as a relaxed space for attendees to utilize for their own networking and meeting place or to simply kick up their feet and take a breather from the hustle and bustle that is the Tucson show experience.
Ideally situated within a 5 minute walk to and from the Tucson Convention Center, the OJB Experience is your go-to venue to shop, network, and relax.
Walking distance between OJB Experience & AGTA GemFair
It only takes 5 minutes to walk from one show to the other.

Swedish GemGroup
Swedish Gem Group travels the globe sourcing sapphires and forwards the story of each one to their customers. The reason why the details of each sapphire can be preserved through the cutting process is that this Swedish company operates their own 5-cutters lapidary in Nivithigala, Sri Lanka. Here, traceability is taken so seriously that each rough crystal yielding a clean gem above 1 carat is photographed before it is cut.
Renisis
Renisis is the artistic vision of Sardwell, a sculptor and designer whose work lives at the intersection of jewellery, sculpture, and theatre.

Each piece channels the power of sculpture to alter space—now reimagined as wearable art that empowers and transports its wearer. Drawing inspiration from Sardwell’s travels through China, Brazil, and beyond, Renisis celebrates human connection, craftsmanship, and the beauty of becoming.
