The September edition of the jewelry fair has closed, along with T.Gold and VO Vintage.
Vicenzaoro September 2026 results were compiled by IEG, the event’s organizer. This edition of the Italian Exhibition Group trade show, which featured a renovated Pavilion 2, closed with a 4% increase in overall attendance and a 9% increase in international attendance compared to September 2025, with 1,300 exhibiting brands. The largest international attendances came from the United Kingdom, Germany, China, India, and Romania. Followed by Switzerland, Spain, Denmark, Colombia, and Belgium. Those reporting the highest growth were South Korea, Singapore, Kuwait, South Africa, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Indonesia, Cyprus, and Saudi Arabia. The number of countries participating at the fair continues to grow: 136, a 4% increase over last September, with Europe up 9% and non-European countries up 9%, rising to 91. Attendance from the United States also increased slightly, reaching 2%.
This growth confirms the work done during the transitional editions, with construction of the new Pavilion 2. Since September 2024, foreign attendance has increased steadily, and now, with the boost of T.Gold, up to 12%, despite a complex and uncertain international context. Vicenzaoro attracts the most dynamic markets thanks to the synergy with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and the Italian Trade Agency (ITA). This selection process focuses not only on quantity, but also on a thorough understanding of the exhibiting companies and their target markets.

The incoming program with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade and Industry (MAECI) and ICE (Italian Trade Agency) for this edition brought 700 international buyers to Vicenza, joined by 210 Italians, for a record total of 910 operators. This significant increase was achieved thanks to the activation of approximately 70 ICE offices around the world. With the opening of the new Pavilion 2, Vicenzaoro also concentrated T.Gold’s technologies in a single location.
An event within the event was the world congress celebrating the centenary of CIBJO, the World Jewelry Confederation led by President Gaetano Cavalieri. With over 600 delegates, all key figures in the industry such as international luxury groups, mining operators, and top global retailers, the event confirmed Vicenzaoro’s centrality as an international reference platform.
VO Vintage was also a success, with 53 selected exhibitors for vintage and modern jewelry and watches. Now in its ninth edition, it has confirmed its position as a key event, extending the Vicenzaoro experience to the non-business public with high-quality offerings and a calendar of events to enhance watchmaking culture with expert speakers. The next event for Vicenzaoro and T.Gold is January 15-19, 2027. VO Vintage is January 15-18.
