Founded by Alix Bramwell and a team of crystal & mineral enthusiasts, the first 2023 event impressed visitors with its variety of specimens and engaging talks.
The 2025 edition builds on that success with even more hands-on workshops, activities and a focus on making the wonders of the Earth accessible to everyone.
Mayfair Gems partners with The Gem & Mineral Show UK to bring a wide range of luxury gems to a wider audience.
