VicenzaOro increasingly international. And in September show of Greek designers.
Now is the time of the final. Disassembled the stands, VicenzaOro has come to terms with the numbers of the winter edition of what is one of the leading trade fairs for the jewelry industry. Result: stable despite the crisis, mainly due to the foreign attendance. “Although 2016 was a particularly difficult year for the goldsmith and jewelry sector, having recorded in the first nine months, an overall decline of 27% of gold consumption for the production of precious, VicenzaOro January was able to give new impetus to market, with a very detailed proposal of new collections, he responded with a presence of very satisfying at the international demand, “reads the final communiqué. “The six-day event has indeed registered the entry of more than 18,500 buyers, generating a total of over 33,000 visitors.” A little ‘less so than last year (in 2016 there were 35,000 visitors, with 19,381 buyers), but we can speak of a substantial confirmation.
The organizers, in the new role of Italian Exhibition Group, the result of the union between companies Vicenza Fair and Rimini Fiera, do not hide “a significant drop in Italian attendance compared to other editions of 2016,” but at the same time they underline that “have increased attendance by overseas buyers, even from those economies which during 2016 had recorded less force in purchases.

Good results with some of the most dynamic countries of South East Asia, including Thailand.
Double-sided Result
It is positive or negative the budget? For the positive Fair, why he did face a difficult market situation. For the Italian jewelry not too rosy, because purchases of italians are in stand-by. Concept reiterated by the Director General of the Italian Exhibition Group, Corrado Facco: “It is a very good budget on all fronts, in some ways almost unexpected, given the contraction of global demand for gold for jewelry that have characterized 2016, in particular in some of the main countries of reference. In this edition we have instead recorded a great number of foreign buyers and, in general, a very positive sentiment of our customers, who presented collections of excellence, rich in innovation and design. ”
