Speaking of Italian companies: apart from the United States, they will be the ones to have the largest presence, with over 130 producers and brands. The Made in Italy gold districts are, in fact, one of the strengths of the country and many companies can boast a refined production capacity, as well as a style appreciated globally. A hundred companies will exhibit at the Jck, others at the Couture Show. According to Federorafi, an association that brings together many companies in the sector, the United States is the first market for Italian jewelery exports. The massive presence at the two events in the capital of Nevada is also due to the help of the Foreign Trade Agency.

Story of the duckling that turned into a swan: GemGenève, a fair dedicated to gems, vintage and design jewels, was born in 2018 as a bet by two jewelers from Geneva, Ronny Totah and Thomas Faerber, it has turned into an event that repeat every six months. Closed the May session, the next edition has already been announced for November 2-5. A result that was hard to believe given that the starting idea was that of a small specialized fair, an alternative to the expensive Baselworld. Instead, the Goliath-Baselworld was knocked out by the slingshot of companies intolerant of that grandeur.

The GemGèneve balance for May 2023 indicates 4,320 visitors and 192 professional resellers out of a total of 230 exhibitors. The statistics also indicate that 1,400 of the 4,320 visitors went to GemGèneve more than once, bringing the total number of visits to 6,487, more than a thousand more than in the November 2022 edition (5,205). These figures, the organizers explain, are an excellent sign, especially in light of the continuing impact of the crisis in Ukraine.

The fairs dedicated to jewelery are increasingly global and the challenge is played out across the board. Thus, after the agreement and the relaunch in the Middle East with the JGT Dubai, Ieg flies to Asia. The Italian company, which organizes Vicenzaoro and Oroarezzo lands in Singapore with its own wholly owned company Ieg Asia Pte and with two exhibitions, respectively in the jewelery and food & beverage sectors, acquired by Cems (Conference & Exhibition Management Services) .

Singapore is already one of the nerve centers for jewellery, where Jewelery & Gem World Singapore takes place, organized by Informa Markets Jewellery, which organizes the big event in Hong Kong. In short, the challenge on the Singapore field is open.

First of all, we are pleased to confirm the partnership with Stb, a guarantee of development and success for the exhibitions acquired. We also wish to underline how important the synergies are between the exhibitions in Italy and those acquired, highlighting the consequent impact generated by the internationalization of our exhibitions also on the Italian territory

The goal is to grow the exhibitions in Singapore, also by leveraging a mutual and productive exchange of the great success of the last edition of Vicenzaoro in January 2023 which saw the presence of over 1,300 exhibiting brands. The same can be said for Sigep with its 1,000 companies in the 2023 edition in Rimini.

Vicenzaoro kicks off with the trend wind

Vicenzaoro September. Copyright: gioiellis.com

Five days dedicated to jewelry. Vicenzaoro September is the most important event of the year in Italy, and beyond, because it is a prelude to the hottest season (at least from a shopping point of view). The Vicenza fair organized by Ieg is scheduled from 9 September (Friday) to 13 September (Tuesday). And, even if the post-pandemic period just ended for the sector’s business has been satisfactory, the impact that the war in Ukraine will have and the consequent increase in energy costs on the jewelry industry has to be verified. Moreover, a large part has given up on the problematic Russian market.

As an encouragement, Italian Exhibition Group recalls the sector data relating to Italy: in the first five months of 2022, manufacturers of finished jewelery or components recorded an export growth in value of 36.5%, just under 4 billion euros. euro, about 1 billion more than in the same period last year (the estimate is from the Confindustria Moda Study Center based on Istat data for Federorafi).

At Vicenzaoro September the thousand exhibiting brands hope that the positive wind will continue to blow in the sails of sales, because the companies are close to the levels of 2019, but have not yet reached them. In any case, 35% of buyers from 28 foreign countries, Turkey, Germany, Spain the most represented, are present at the fair. And, other good news, China and Hong Kong, India and Thailand, for Asia are also returning to Vicenza. In all, 400 buyers were hosted, from over 70 countries, thanks to the support of about forty Ice offices around the world. Also present are all the acronyms of the various associations, which also organize a series of meetings of which we have already written in the article on the program, which you can find here.

First stage of approach to Vicenzaoro September. The summer months pass in a hurry and from 9 to 13 September 2022 the appointment with the event organized by Italian Exhibition Group is already announced. The next edition will also be joined, from 11 to 13, by Vo Vintage, this one open to the public of collectors and enthusiasts of past watches and jewels, with the possibility of immediate purchase, while Vicenzaoro remains strictly B2B.

The first appeal or, rather, the first press release concerning the next Vicenzaoro does not anticipate anything other than the date, while generally the program remains the same as always: jewels, stones and activities between entertainment and gastronomy in the rest of the city of Vicenza. The news, if there are any, will probably emerge in the coming months. For jewelry, the past few months have been marked by optimism, with results for companies all over the world or almost of absolute importance. Vicenzaoro will therefore also be an opportunity to measure the pulse of the sector in light of the macroeconomic and geopolitical trends (inflation, war in Ukraine) that are influencing the decisions of buyers.

The next edition of GemGenève, number five, will take place in May 2023. The clarification is mandatory, because before this year’s edition began (5-8 May) there was a doubt about a possible repeat in November, as is happened last year.

The 2022 edition registered 201 exhibitors, of which 160 professional dealers and jewelers, from 19 countries, compared to 120 in 2021.

According to the data provided by the organizers, 3,302 visitors from all over the world arrived in GemGèneve (against 2,757 in 2021, 3,474 in 2019 and 3,206 in 2018). Visitors added up a total of 4,850 visits, against 3,800 in 2021, 4,831 in 2019 and 4,300 in 2018. The balance of attendance is therefore positive and, on average, the comments collected by gioiellis.com during the visit to the Geneva event. GemGèneve confirmed itself as an alternative both to fairs like Vicenzaoro and to selective appointments like Haute Jewels Geneva.

Three years after the last edition, the preparations for Oroarezzo can only be accompanied by the satisfaction of finally finding ourselves in favorable conditions to ensure that it will take place in the presence of a decisive appointment for the gold and jewelery business. It is the testimony of the unanimous commitment and an ever stronger dialogue with the Arezzo industry protagonists, institutions and trade associations. The collaboration continues with the stakeholders of a fundamental district for the success of Made in Italy jewelery in the world, always alongside IEG in the numerous initiatives with which we have kept the spotlight on this territory even during the pandemic – from Premiere Digital Edition in 2020 at We Are Jewelery and at the First Italian Jewelery Summit last year, in addition to international events such as Vicenzaoro and JGT Dubai – it proved to be strategic in the overall recovery of the entire sector.

GemGèneve is preparing to shine again with new and vintage jewels, precious stones and events related to the exhibition that will take place from 5 to 8 May at the Palexpo in the Swiss city. In fact, as the epidemic fades, even the jewelry fairs have resumed their usual format. The last GemGèneve event was last October, with 120 exhibitors from over 15 countries. The proposed mix is particularly stimulating because it combines young designers with ancient and consolidated Maison, precious stone dealers and jewelry boutiques of the past. In short, past and present, avant-garde and tradition in the same pavilion at the Geneva fair. The Design Nursery, for example, curated by Vivienne Becker, presents the creations of a group of independent jewelry designers from all over the world. And, with past editions, it has helped launch the careers of some young, now established designers.

In addition to the various booths dedicated to business, as always GemGèneve also includes a series of initiatives, such as the Flair project curated by Katerina Perez, which consists of an online gallery and an independent community of multimedia artists who create unique objects and works, inspired by jewels and precious stones. The Emerging Talents area, on the other hand, is dedicated to the new generations of designers, with a special exhibition space.

GemGenève’s collaboration with various art schools, jewelry and other educational institutions related to this professional sector also continues, testifying to the fundamental desire of the event to ensure that passion is passed down from generation to generation. The event agenda also includes conferences and seminars, as in past editions. There is also room for the art of Estelle Lagarde, a talented jewelry painter, who will present her most beautiful Prestige Jewelery tempera in a live demonstration.

Instead, it was repositioned from 11 to 14 March, again within the Fiera Milano Rho exhibition center. It will therefore be in partial coexistence with Micam, the International Footwear Exhibition, scheduled for March 13 to 15 together with The One Mmilano, Salone dell’Haut-à-Porter.

“Aware that physical fairs are essential for the business of companies in the fashion sector, the organizers have once again united in the decision to reposition, keeping faith with the claim #BetterTogether but above all after having listened to the needs of the market”, is the message of the organizers. Which coincides with that of the operators.

Appointment May 5, 2022. GemGenève seems to contradict the difficulties encountered by other fairs dedicated to jewelery. The formula identified by the promoters, Ronny Totah and Thomas Faerber, works. This is indicated not only by the date, already decided, for the fourth edition, but also by the balance sheet of the third GemGèneve (4-7 November) which ended with 2,757 visitors at the Palexpo in Geneva, professional and private buyers, but also an audience of enthusiasts. of jewelry and gems. Half of the visitors (1,065) had already been to GemGèneve in previous editions and returned. Although the impact of the pandemic still had an impact: there were 120 exhibitors from 15 countries, compared to 210 in 2019, also due to the restrictions still in force for travel. It is no coincidence that this has been called a challenging edition.

This Challenging Edition has gone well beyond our expectations. We were counting on the presence of around 2,000 visitors and we are happy to report 2,757 visitors (compared to 3,474 at the 2019 show, i.e. 20.64% fewer in 2021) came to discover the jewels presented at GemGenève. After seeing our visitors’ smiles, I have no doubt that the eagerly awaited emotion of these reunions has also been synonymous with commercial success.

Alongside the exhibitors of vintage jewelry and high quality gems, the eight designers (Aline Debusigne, Regina Gambatesa, Studio Renn, Atelier Allure, G Suen, Alexandra Jefford, Cora Sheibani, Alexander Tenzo) have found a good success. joined the Designer Vivarium, organized by the jewel historian Vivienne Becker as well as five designers presented in the Emerging Talents section (Pierre d’Alexis, Horowicz Fine Jewelry, Ena Iro, Elena Okutova). The presentations and conferences also had good attendance with 30-40 people in the audience at each presentation: they will soon be available online on the GemGenève digital platform.

Once again, GemGenève has played its cards right, proposing a unique platform for expression, dedicated to the world of coloured stones, exceptional diamonds, pearls, antique and contemporary jewellery, famous designers, and emerging talents. We have had more buyers and international visitors than expected, especially from America and Asia. I should also point out that the buyers present were certainly determined to make new acquisitions and do business.

Finally, the launch of the Eric Horovitz Foundation should be noted. Partnership with Crea School Geneva for the creation of digital content in millennial mode: development of the Instagram account CreaEyes and three prizes awarded to GemGenève to Pauline Hepner, Head student, to Sulaiman Al Haidar, apprentice at Csp Arts Geneva and Hugo Massy, Student of the École Technique de la Vallée de Joux (Eric Horovitz Foundation Award).
