Chrysos

Silver with colored stones in the Olympus of Desmos




Desmos in ancient Greek means more or less connection, bond. And the 925 silver jewelery brand Desmos, created by a company specializing in the processing of this metal, Chrysos, offers jewels that translate the concept contained in the name into practice. At Vicenzaoro Desmos presented the Olympia collection in 925 silver, yellow gold and rhodium plated, with green topaz. A collection that follows Divina, a line always in silver, but which uses red garnets. The characteristics of these collections are two: the use of bands with the structure of the cable, i.e. composed of many intertwined threads, or with diamond-coated balls joined together to form bracelets and necklaces, but also combined as a border for rings.

Chrysos, a company located near Treviso, has been producing jewelery for 30 years also on behalf of third parties and specializes in diamond-cut chains and balls in 925 silver and gold, with a sample collection of more than 4000 models. A production technique that is then used for the Desmos brand.

We are confident that in Vicenza we will reap the first fruits of the sacrifices made in this year and a half of restrictions given the good feeling of the market for the Italian product and the willingness of companies to get back into the game to return to business in person and safely.

According to the latest sample survey prepared for Federorafi by the Confindustria Moda Study Center, in January-March 2021 24% of the Italian companies interviewed reported an increase in turnover compared to the first quarter of 2020. And the sentiment of the sample sees 25% with a start of recovery already in spring 2021, 39% starting from autumn 2021. About half of the sample (48%) reports a renewed dynamism of foreign markets, United States, France, United Arab Emirates / Qatar on the others.

Other confirmations come from foreign buyers, who are planning their visit to the event. The VBI, Vicenzaoro Buyer Index, which periodically detects the attitudes of a representative panel of global operators, highlights in June that confidence in future business has more than doubled compared to last year. The propensity to participate in the fair in presence from the Middle East and North America, but also from Europe and Italy, is growing at the same pace. According to a survey by Confcommercio Federpreziosi, the participation intentions of retailers and operators are positive: 75% plan to return to the Vicenza pavilions to renew or expand the product range (33.2%), but above all to resume relations direct professionals with suppliers, customers, colleagues (41.7%).

Voice-Vicenzaoro with 300 companies and many big names




Vicenzaoro has been suspended. Long live Vicenzaoro. Which, however, in September is called Voice. If the health emergency led Ieg (the company that organizes Vicenzaoro) to transform the format of the event by also changing the name, the companies in the sector have a strong need to show their production to buyers, that the appointment is called Vicenzaoro o Voice doesn’t matter. This is what can be deduced from the announcement that, in July, the companies that have chosen to exhibit their jewels at Voice-Vicenzaoro International Community Event (12 to 14 September) exceed 300.

About 300 companies means a very limited drop of about 15% compared to last year’s attendance. And taking into account that the major fairs, not only of jewelery, have been postponed to next year, number of registration to Voice is a success, perhaps unexpected. In short, Vicenzaoro, ops, Voice has a strong attraction. The names that have already reserved their space also testify to this.

Jewelry, financial statements between gold and lead




Jewelery financial statements are not all gold according to Pambianco ♦
The 2016 was not a golden year for jewelery, but not too bad. A round of informal phone calls seems to indicate, however, that 2017 may close with a more positive balance. The wrist of the jewelery and watch sector is heard by Pambianco, a consultant specialist in the luxury sector.
In his analysis, besides certifying the bad moment of the watch sector (difficulties also witnessed in Baselworld), Pambianco put the budgets of the major jewelery groups under the lens. Result: some positive results, such as Pomellato, which thanks to the care and synergies of the Kering group increased revenues by 11.5%, Unoaerre, which grew by 7.9%, Damiani (+ 4.8%) or Morellato (+ 2.8%). Also, Chrysos, which also produces the brand Officina Bernardi, it has seen sales up by 5.4% to 56.3 million. But there are also significant decreases. For example, Asolo Gold, a specialist in chain production, saw revenue falling from 28.2% to 80.5 million euros. Among the famous brands for design, Marco Bicego dropped 4.5%, despite good performance abroad, at 47.4 million, while for Roberto Coin the decline was 4.7% to 46 million. Slight decline (-0.5%) also for Stroili Oro, bought by the French Historie d’Or group in the summer of 2016. Federico Graglia
