Events dedicated to the world of jewelry, scheduled for October 20–26 in Milan.
With 400 exhibitors (46% Europe, 23% Asia, 24% the Americas, 5% Africa, 2% Oceania) and an average of 20,000 visitors, Milano Jewelry Week has established itself as a unique event in the jewelry landscape. The upcoming edition—running from October 20 to 26, 2026—aims to once again feature the city-wide format that defines the event. Originating with the Artistar contest in 2013, the organizing company Prodes reshaped the event into what is now Milano Jewelry Week, currently in its sixth edition.
The next edition of Milano Jewelry Week marks another step in the platform’s growth, with the goal of continuing to generate value for exhibitors, professionals, and international visitors. We have strengthened the Buyer Program, expanding networking and business opportunities with qualified industry professionals, and introduced the Milano Jewelry Week Observatory—a survey designed to capture and analyze the sector as represented by our event by gathering data, insights, and trends directly from industry players. The MJW Awards system is also being revamped, featuring new categories and a new jury composition that includes distinguished professionals and representatives from the specialized press. All these initiatives reflect our commitment to the constant evolution of Milano Jewelry Week, keeping it open to industry transformations and the new creative energy shaping the field.

The Events
From October 20 to 26, “Experiential Journeys” invite visitors to follow an urban itinerary that encompasses jewelry stores, concept stores, boutiques, and galleries. From October 24 to 26, the spotlight will shine on *Artistar Jewels* and the *Talent Show* at Palazzo Bovara, and on *The Jewelry Hub* at Palazzo Serbelloni.
*Artistar Jewels* and *The Jewelry Hub*—dedicated respectively to artistic and experimental jewelry and to fine creations with a focus on innovation—form the heart of the event. The *Talent Show* offers young talents from international schools and academies the opportunity to showcase their creations. Together, these exhibitions embody the curated approach that defines the entire Milano Jewelry Week: an inclusive vision of jewelry that embraces experimentation, design, exceptional craftsmanship, and the next generation of creative talent. The Milano Jewelry Week schedule also features a program of talks open to the public. These sessions, led by authoritative voices in the industry, will take place in the rooms of the Sotheby’s headquarters.
