The stopwatch has already started to count down. And timepieces are the protagonists of Vo Vintage, the appointment introduced three years ago by Ieg as an experiment and which has proved to be a valid contribution to Vicenzaoro. So from 20 to 23 January Vo Vintage will be staged for the fourth edition, one day more than the previous ones. The event is always scheduled in the foyer on the first floor of the fair and is aimed at watch enthusiasts, collectors and traders. Unlike Vicenzaoro, in fact, in this case the entrance is open to the public and not only to operators.

35 brands and dealers will be present at Vo Vintage, including Vintage Watches by Stefano Mazzariol, Tempus by Elvio Piva, Goldfingers by Roberto Verde and Vintage Watches and Cars by Andrea Foffi, who returns to Vicenza also as a collector with the second part of the Magister Speedmaster Exhibition (the first at Vicenzaoro September 2022) dedicated to the most famous Omega watch models from his private collection. Representing vintage jewelery are also Art Deco’ Bijoux, Montegrandi Gioielli, Micol, Gioielleria Faelutti and I Santi Medici. Also present with a selection of ten exhibitors is the Watch Passion association, which brings together and promotes the best watch dealers.

Vicenzaoro warms up the engines

Published on January 25, 2022

news

In Italy, the spring of events dedicated to jewelry has already begun. After the postponement of Vicenzaoro to March (an event that was scheduled for the end of January) due to the pandemic, the improvement in health conditions led to a general redefinition of the dates by Ieg, the organizing company. Vicenzaoro January, therefore, has been moved to March 17-21, 2022, together with T. Gold (fair dedicated to machinery for jewelery). Thanks to vaccinations, safety measures and descent of the pandemic peak in all countries, from mid-March Vicenza will be able to reopen the pavilions in complete safety according to the health safety management protocols (#Safebusiness by Ieg and Gbac Star) by now successfully applied and tested in the editions of September 2020 and 2021 as well as in all the events that took place on the various exhibition plants affected by Ieg.

On the other hand, VO Vintage, an event open to the public of collectors and fans of vintage watches and jewels, has slipped to September. In its place, a new project dedicated to the presentation of the most important innovations in the contemporary watchmaking sector is planned. Vo Vintage, which was on the agenda with Vicenzaoro January, does not seem to work on the new March dates.

Italian Exhibition Group has already begun the discussion on operational details with exhibitors, and is defining, together with the tourism promotion agency of Vicenza (Vicenzaè) and the hoteliers of the whole province, an agreement that guarantees the possibility of moving bookings already made for January to the new March dates without any penalty for Vicenzaoro exhibitors and visitors. This is not a secondary aspect from an economic point of view.

Therefore, in March, Vicenzaoro, the largest European event dedicated to the gold and jewelery sector, returns, simultaneously with T. Gold, the international exhibition of the most innovative machinery and technologies applied to goldsmithing and precious items organized in partnership with Afemo. The event, a real flagship of the events on Ieg technology, will show the hardware of the sector, with the innovations that affect the production process. In agreement with Ieg, the Municipality of Vicenza has also decided to reposition Vioff, the Fuori Fiera di Vicenzaoro, in the new dates of the event between business, culture, music and pleasure of Italian flavors.

In the coming months, in addition to Vicenzaoro, TGold and VO Vintage, Ieg’s jewelery agenda includes further important events for the entire world jewelery community.
In February (22-24) the brand new event in the United Arab Emirates will be staged Jewelery, Gem and Technology Dubai organized with Informa Markets and the first international B2B show to reopen in 2022 and in May (7-10) the Arezzo district will return to shine with the Oroarezzo event dedicated to Art of Manufacturing, where the best of Made in Italy goldsmith production meets the top buyers of the most important markets in the world, from Asia to North America.

What will be the return of VicenzaOro September is outlined. The great jewelery fair, which last gave way, due to a pandemic, to the reduced version of Voice, resumes the usual format with companies, buyers and, above all, a more serene atmosphere. The title devised for the next edition is The state of art. In short, a little generic: there is everything inside, more. But the idea is precisely to take stock of the situation after a year lived dangerously.

VicenzaOro, organized by Italian Exhibition Group, will be held from 10 to 14 September, obviously at the Vicenza Fair. T. Gold, the international exhibition for machinery and advanced technologies for the processes of designing and manufacturing the jewel, is also back. It is usually scheduled for January, but this year it moves to September, in the same exhibition halls. Second test for VoVintage (11-13 September), the marketplace for vintage watchmaking and jewelry, a space also open to the public of enthusiasts and collectors.

In any case, the event does not lose its digital side: companies will be able to use Ieg’s interactive business matching platform, The Jewelery Golden Cloud. Furthermore, as always, VicenzaOro will also investigate trends in styles and design, and will focus on moments of analysis and study on the state of the art of the sector with the involvement of the most experienced stakeholders and sector players that are partners of IEG. Some of these events will be visible all over the world thanks to live streaming.

Given that prudence is never too much, the application of the #safebusiness by Ieg plan remains valid, launched in 2020 to guarantee a safe and at the same time agile fair experience: the company is the first trade fair and congress player in Italy to have obtained for its offices the Gbac Star accreditation, the global certification program of international standards of cleaning, sanitation and prevention of infectious risks for environments and personnel promoted by the Global Biorisk Advisory Council (Gbac).

With small steps, but with a loud Voice.

Bracciale Tutti i Frutti di Cartier, circa 1930

All the economy’s activities, hibernated by the coronavirus, return to (almost) normal: even the jewelery auctions. Sotheby’s has unveiled its new season of jewelry auctions, with dates re-adjusted from the pre-coronavirus calendar. Traditional auctions, often considered a critical factor for the market, follow a series of successful online sales. The results achieved in the last five weeks have been facilitated by Sotheby’s long-term omnichannel strategy, i.e. sales both with auctions in physical locations and via the web.

Unprecedented times are often a catalyst for change, crystallising pre-existing trends and accelerating innovations. In the past few weeks, we have seen the jewellery market further completing its digital revolution: our online sales realised some of their best performances ever, with many new and young collectors from around the world joining. It is also very clear that people are now confident in buying and selling important jewels online. As we look forward to welcoming jewellery lovers back to our salesrooms and exhibitions, we are excited to push ahead with innovative formats in the coming months, starting with the single-lot online sale of a sensational Tutti Frutti bracelet by Cartier at the end of this month.
David Bennett, world president of Sotheby’s jewelry division

It’s VicenzaOro January time

VicenzaOro turns on the engines for the January appointment. Here are the changes ♦ ︎

Just as jewelers renew their collections, in the same way those who propose a window to jewels try to offer innovations that may interest companies and the public. For this reason VicenzaOro January promises to get changes that aim to stimulate attention and, above all, to be functional to the product it offers, ie a trade fair. In this case, moreover, for sector operators the attention is double, given that VicenzaOro is combined with T-Gold, the international exhibition for machinery and advanced technologies for jewelery design and manufacturing processes.

Both salons are scheduled from 17 to 22 January. A date chosen by the organizers of Italian Exhibition Group which, on paper, seems propitious, given that Baselworld this year slipped at the beginning of May along with Sihh, an appointment dedicated to high watchmaking. In short, in fact VicenzaOro becomes the largest event in the sector until the beginning of summer. An aspect that suggested the hashtag #primavicenzaoro, a punishment to Swiss rivals. In any case, Ieg now controls in Italy almost all the jewelery-related exhibition activity, with the two VicenzaOro in January and September, Oroarezzo and Gold Italy. Only the Precious World organized at the Tarì of Caserta remains outside.

The combination of business and innovation is inescapable and at every edition our events are enriched. In this case, an appointment from scratch from Vo Vintage, an original exhibition dedicated to vintage watches and jewelery with unique pieces and rarities among the most sought after in the world, an announcement that is liked to the entire market.

Lorenzo Cagnoni president of Ieg

VicenzaOro January 2020, in any case, expects about 1,500 exhibitor brands, counting the entire production chain, and their articulation in areas (Icon, Glam, Design Room, Creation, Look, Expression, Evolution) based on positioning and target facilitates the experience of visiting operators, overseas majority buyers, coming from over 120 countries: from the most prestigious boutiques, to malls, from the stores of the great metropolis of the world to retailers.

There will be confirmations and news in the pavilions of the Vicenza Fair. In particular, in the Icon area, which houses the major jewelery brands, the presence of Maison such as Crivelli, Damiani and Roberto Coin, which will presents new collections such as Petals and Rock and Diamonds, is confirmed. High jewelry also with three other famous names of Valenza: Leo Pizzo, Carlo Palmiero and Picchiotti. The presence of Annamaria Cammilli, Fope, Antonini, Mariani, Giovanni Ferraris and the techno-spermimental jewelry of Mattia Cielo is also confirmed.

The novelty, instead, is represented by Gismondi 1754, a historic Genoese brand that debuted on the Stock Exchange on December 18, with the new Dedalo collection. Among the traditional brands of Naples and surroundings, there will be De Simone, and Chantecler. From abroad confirmed the presence of the award-winning Nikos Koulis, from Greece, and of the German fashion house Stenzhorn, while from Australia the pearls of Autore are expected.

The Design Room, the area reserved for trendy designers, also returns in January. In this round it hosts confirmations and new entries: Alessio Boschi, Cedille Paris, Lydia Courteille, Margaritis Lefteris, Mousson Atelier, Netali Nissim, Paolo Costagli New York, Sicis, Tomasz Donocik, Bare Jewelry, DreamBoule Milan and Yeprem.

And the renewal? A novelty, as we have already written on gioiellis.com, will be VicenzaOro Vintage (18-20 January), organized in the foyer of the first floor of the Vicenza Fair, and dedicated to jewelery and watches. Unlike VicenzaOro, the salon dedicated to vintage will be open to enthusiasts, who will be able to see the collections of great collectors like Sandro Fratini and meet experts like Giulio Papi, the world’s most famous watchmaker.

We will be at Vo Vintage to meet a selected and prepared audience. Selling vintage also means selling the history and culture of the object of the era, allowing enthusiasts to discover and relive the taste of the watch of the past, making them fall in love with the story behind it.
Stefano Mazzariol of Vintage Watches

Alongside the Vintage novelty, the focus on sustainability developed and deepened in all its aspects is confirmed in the agenda with Cibjo, as well as in the traditional Digital Talks and in the Gem Talks. Instead, the world of technology goes into the fair: in fact, a hackaton was announced in collaboration with the University of Padua. The word hackton is used to indicate an event involving experts from different fields of computer science: software developers, programmers and graphic designers. In this case it will involve 60 thousand students and researchers called to find business solutions on new ways of wearing a jewel and making packaging. At VicenzaOro the 40 best proposals will come to submit to an advisory board composed of companies and industry players.

Il brand di VicenzaOro

What does T-Gold propose?
The international exhibition dedicated to machinery and advanced technologies will extend over 4 thousand square meters dedicated to the major industries in the sector, specializing in jewelery production. The fair offers a complete overview of the sector including shows, seminars and workshops for an increasingly international and heterogeneous market. Around 160 exhibiting companies of the world scenario are planned.

Christmas with Thomas Sabo and a number of inspired jewelry at parties, snow and winter.
Christmas and winter are two twin concepts also in jewelery. And so the large jewelry brands have the opportunity to propose themed collections. Thomas Sabo, German giant of the jewelry easy to wear, does not escape the this law, inspired to jewelry with crystal and snow shape. The pieces of Glam & Soul Diamonds and Triangle Diamonds series, are made with diamonds that tune well with the white color matched to winter. But, in fact, jewels inspired winter and snow are also distributed in other collections, up to the several beads that are used to customize bracelets and necklaces. The launch of brand in Italy was combined with a commercial initiative: every customer who purchases items for a value equal to or greater than 99 euros, on online store or at selected partner, will receive free the pocket diary by Thomas Sabo. In Italy the German brand has come only a few months, but already has over a hundred shops. Giulia Netrese

(Italiano) Nuove date per VicenzaOro

L’appuntamento di gennaio non si tocca. Slittano, invece, quelli di settembre e quello primaverile in trasferta. Fiera di Vicenza ha rimodulato le date di VicenzaOro. Il calendario 2017, quindi, sarà in parte differente «a servizio delle dinamiche evolutive della distribuzione internazionale del comparto orafo-gioielliero».

Riportiamo il comunicato di Fiera Vicenza:

«Dal 2015 il Salone prevede lo svolgimento di tre edizioni: due nel Quartiere Fieristico Vicentino, VicenzaOro January e VicenzaOro September, e l’appuntamento di VicenzaOro Dubai negli Emirati Arabi Uniti, organizzato in joint venture con il Dubai World Trade Center.

A seguito del crescente interesse della distribuzione internazionale verso gli espositori di VicenzaOro registrato nel 2016, il 2017 si aprirà con VicenzaOro January dal 20 al 25 gennaio. L’edizione invernale si conferma pertanto la prima manifestazione dell’anno del calendario fieristico internazionale per il settore, luogo privilegiato di presentazione delle nuove collezioni ai sistemi distributivi dopo l’intensa attività di fine anno.

Nuove date, invece, per l’edizione di VicenzaOro September 2017, che rispetto al passato sarà programmata alla fine del mese, dal 23 al 27 settembre. Questo posizionamento segue le dinamiche evolutive della distribuzione europea ed internazionale che richiede un nuovo assortimento al termine della stagione turistica.

La scelta della nuova data è inoltre dettata anche dalla decisione di riagganciarsi alla strategia del Tavolo Nazionale del Sistema Moda Persona, con la quale il Ministero per lo Sviluppo Economico promuove l’allineamento in settembre delle date delle Manifestazioni Fieristiche protagoniste del sistema Moda a quelle della Settimana della Moda Donna milanese. A settembre 2017, quindi, l’Italia sarà il fulcro internazionale di Moda e Gioielleria in un’ottica di sistema che vedrà come protagonista il Well Done in Italy del comparto luxury.

Il calendario del 2017, con l’evento di settembre programmato per fine mese, permetterà inoltre di valutare un’integrazione dell’offerta espositiva per la promozione del Made in Italy. Sono infatti in corso valutazioni per lo sviluppo di Sinergie di Sistema a livello Italiano che mirino a finalizzare un appuntamento nella tarda primavera. Tale evento avrebbe l’obiettivo di consolidare le relazioni del settore orafo-gioielliero italiano con quei determinati profili di operatori internazionali che necessitano di tre edizioni annue di approvvigionamento di gioielleria Made in Italy.

Importanti novità anche per VicenzaOro Dubai, il Salone della gioielleria mondiale organizzato da DV Global Link LLC, società partecipata da Fiera di Vicenza e da Dubai World Trade Center. Come preannunciato durante VicenzaOro September 2016, lo Show nella città del Golfo si sposterà da primavera ad autunno inoltrato, nei giorni 15-18 novembre 2017, al fine di supportare le relazioni di business in un periodo di alta stagione per le vendite (novembre-marzo) per la Macro Regione di riferimento.

Il prossimo anno, inoltre, VicenzaOro Dubai presenterà un format arricchito che rafforzerà il ruolo della Manifestazione quale piattaforma strategica per la community internazionale della gioielleria. Il Salone raddoppierà infatti il target di riferimento, aprendosi sia al pubblico consumer, sia agli operatori professionali con un’area esclusivamente dedicata a quest’ultimi, mantenendo quindi l’anima B2B che contraddistingue i format espositivi firmati VicenzaOro.

Nel 2017 VicenzaOro confermerà il proprio ruolo di ambasciatore della gioielleria italiana nel mondo. Il brand organizzerà la partecipazione coordinata delle aziende del Made in Italy ai più importanti eventi di settore al di fuori dell’Europa, grazie agli accordi con i più prestigiosi player internazionali. VicenzaOro parteciperà in marzo all’Hong Kong International Jewellery Show, in giugno al JCK di Las Vegas, in agosto all’India International Jewellery Show di Mumbai».
