Vicenzaoro all in once as of January 21st




In case someone had any doubts (given the fourth wave of covid): Vicenzaoro January is confirmed. The jewelery fair organized by Italian Exhibition Group will be held from 21 to 26 January 2022. The company, however, probably does not expect a full return to pre-epidemic normality. The show will always have an international audience, but with exhibitors, buyers and operators coming in particular from Europe and the Middle East. Translated: there is still time for visitors from the United States and Latin America. A novelty, however, is the new claim for Vicenzaoro: All At Once. In short, it seems to indicate that the world of jewelery is all at once in a platform “which optimizes purchase paths, facilitates cross selling, reveals the latest trends and innovations, helps to expand networking”.

Technologies and process innovations will also return with T.

Jewel Summit in December




It was expected in mid-November but, for organizational reasons, the Summit of the Italian Jewelery scheduled in Arezzo is postponed to December 14th. The event organized by Italian Exhibition Group takes the place (symbolically) of Gold / Italy, an international workshop that connects the Made in Italy jewelery of selected manufacturing companies and international demand. But the limitations related to the pandemic led the organizers to postpone Gold / Italy to October 2022.

In its place, therefore, there will be the first Summit of Italian Jewelery, an institutional event by invitation, which will involve the leaders of the national jewelery and goldsmith sector. Organized by the Italian Exhibition Group in collaboration with the Municipality of Arezzo, it points out a press release from the trade fair company, the Arezzo-Siena Chamber of Commerce, Arezzo Fiere e Congressi, and with the participation of all relevant trade associations.

On the agenda issues such as sustainability and branding, central challenges in creating value along the goldsmith supply chain and in competition on the global market.

For the fourth edition, the museum site leaves its mutant guise to become a permanent museum dedicated to Made in Italy jewelery. Maintaining pluralism as a key to interpretation, the Museum adds another level of interpretation concerning the Italian territory, in terms of creativity and manufacturing. The nine rooms highlight the high craftsmanship of the goldsmith houses, the great goldsmith artists, the protagonists of fashion jewelery, the designers, the excellences characterized by techniques and materials typical of Made in Italy: from coral to filigree, from micromosaic to stone lava and the scenarios of the future. Visitors will be able to find Italian excellence between tradition and modernity, the beautiful and well-made that, even today, is the hallmark of national production.

Con mucho gusto a

I am particularly pleased with the reopening of the Jewelery Museum. I have personally committed myself to reach this milestone that allows us to enrich the already wide offer of the city museum circuit that is giving us so much satisfaction in this summer 2021, both in terms of tourist presences and in terms of income from entrance tickets. An extra piece that enriches the large project we are carrying out for the candidacy of Vicenza as the Italian capital of culture for 2024. I thank the president of Ieg, the director of the museum and all those who have worked to achieve this important result.

With great pleasure we announce the reopening to the public of the Jewelery Museum, the only example in Italy and among the few in the world of this kind, which over the years has been able to establish itself as a narrative center of gravity and enhancement of the cultural universe of goldsmithing and jewelry store. Born in the city of Palladio, a place of undisputed artistic and cultural value as well as one of the most important manufacturing districts in the world, the museum celebrates the Vicenza goldsmith tradition and its artisan and entrepreneurial heritage. A museum for everyone and everyone, which through a common effort and shared planning with the municipal administration of Vicenza conveys contents of absolute value for the local economy and for the community.

No Gold / Italy, a summit in its place




The word downsizing is the one that runs the most on operators’ lips. Gold/Italy, an international workshop that aims to bring together the offer of the best Made in Italy goldsmiths of selected manufacturing companies of the Italian gold districts and the international demand from the main outlet markets of Made in Italy production, also jumps the 2021 edition.

The three days organized by Italian Exhibition Group in Arezzo, the Italian capital of gold processing, does not return due, in essence, to the still unconcluded pandemic emergency, which slows down movements, especially those at an international level, in particular those of Asian and American buyers. In place of Gold / Italy, in mid-November, a summit with the leaders of the jewelery and goldsmith sector will be held in collaboration with the Municipality and the relevant trade associations. Objective: to discuss the strategies in this relaunch phase. Obviously it is not the same thing, but one must make a virtue of necessity.

Business has returned to Vicenzaoro




It went well. It went well considering the times, the quarantines, the movements not yet returned to the pre-covid level. The balance of Vicenzaoro September 2021, in the new edition in the name of sobriety, totaled 80% of the visits recorded in the 2019 edition. It is the most comforting figure regarding the jewelery fair organized by Ieg, considering that in Italy the sector employs 30,000 employees for over 7,000 companies, with exports of 8 billion euros.

About 800 companies participated in Vicenzaoro, a number that is almost half of those present a few years ago. It is the sign of the times. In the final balance of Ieg, however, the international turnout of buyers and visitors from abroad is highlighted, which exceeded 30% of the total: 77% from Europe, led by Spain, Germany, France, 7% from Middle East and with arrivals also from the United States, Russia and North Africa, with 108 countries represented by foreign visitors to Vicenzaoro in this new edition. For a period of pandemic, it is certainly not a bad result, indeed, it is a decisive success.

Vicenzaoro September was also different in look. No customized booths but, as in the reduced version of last year, called Voice, pavilions all the same, salmon-colored, with reduced sizes. Mutters of disapproval were to be expected. Instead it did not happen. As always, gioielli.com has selected about thirty opinions collected all in the Icon pavilion, with the promise of anonymity (required for who knows why). Result: 83% were in favor of this sober version of the booths, underlining that in any case it is still better than other international fairs (since Baselworld is no longer there). The only objections of the remaining 17% concerned the layout of their booth.

Up to 21% online jewelry sales





Vicenzaoro has restarted under the sign of optimism. But also by recording the signs of the changes that inevitably involve the world of jewelry. These are the conclusions of the inaugural Talk The State of the Art, organized by Ieg (Italian Exhibition Group, the company that owns the format) and the Club degli Orafi Italia.

Opinions based on concrete data: Stefania Trenti, head of the Industry Department of Studies and Research Intesa Sanpaolo (the largest Italian bank), presented an update of the sector’s macroeconomic data. Conclusions: after the shock of the lockdowns, with the consequent stop in sales, the world of jewelry records a surge in prices, after a depression in demand. But the sector “quickly recovered: between January and June 2021, turnover grew by about 80% compared to the lows of the first half of last year,” explained the manager. The real measure of growth results from the comparison with 2019 which, as Trenti pointed out, “is already 8% higher than the same period in 2019, a better result than the manufacturing average”. And the forecasted global demand scenario is still growing in the coming years.

Il Talk «The State of the Art»

In detail, the Intesa Sanpaolo report records a leap for e-commerce and digitalization, including in the production process. Bottom line: online sales of jewelry in 2025 will be between 18% and 21%, compared to 13% in 2019. Furthermore, the commitment of companies is increasing with 12% of companies planning investments in e-commerce and digital marketing and 7% planning investments in digital manufacturing solutions.
Furthermore, according to the analysis presented in the talk, the value of the brand is increasingly affirming itself as a driver of product enhancement with an average growth expected between 8% and 12% in the period 2019-2025 for the component of branded products. , more than double the industry average. To date, 13% of Italian companies with at least one registered trademark.

At the same time, attention to sustainable issues is increasing: 20-30% of those who buy (by 2025) will be affected by this aspect. No less fundamental is training, which is essential to ensure continuity of the craftsmanship of the productions: in 2020, 61% of the planned revenues were deemed difficult to find and, of these, 72% due to inadequate preparation. But the impact of the pandemic period should not be underestimated in particular for the initial stages of the diamond supply chain such as extraction which led to moments of supply crisis.

We faced a future full of uncertainties, but I couldn’t have been more proud of how we responded. We immediately started supporting all the people – countries, communities and customers – who depend on diamonds. We at De Beers and our JV partners have put in place a covid-19 relief program worth approximately $ 17 million, working to ensure that the diamond industry and all those who depend on it can bounce back and rebuild as quickly as possible. possible. We are seeing the demand for diamonds in our key markets surpass that pre-pandemic, because these miracles of nature have something vital to say: they are symbols of a meaningful connection, of the connection to the world of nature and a source of joy after a period of darkness. .

For a sector where the possibilities of smartworking are limited, a relevant aspect has been the management of people. “The initial impact was hard. We were close to those who were at home without being able to work, we learned to read the little big signs of stress and then offer the most appropriate support ”, said Nicolò Rapone, operations senior director of Jewelry Business Unit, Bulgari. During the months of the pandemic, the brand’s attention was focused on innovation and dialogue, not only with customers: “We focused on implementing tools dedicated to the after-sales phases and collaboration platforms with partners and suppliers”.
Jérôme Favier

For us, the crisis has been a catalyst for transformation. The end customer is increasingly attentive and searches for the brand with all its heritage of values, contents and authenticity. We believe that the game is played on the terrain of omnichannel and multiple touchpoints. It is the complete path that counts in the customer experience.
Jérôme Favier, vice president and CEO of Damiani International

“There is an acceleration in the digitization of all the players in the process, from the brand to the consumer,” said Massimo Fasoli, CEO and jewelery designer, of the company of the same name. There are many facets, first of all by geography: “Whoever is closest to the digital backbone accelerates much faster, whoever is more in the periphery experiences a slow curve. This will generate differences in consumer habits”.

The new challenge of Vicenzaoro




A fair to forget (the pandemic), a fair to remember (one of the Italian excellences, jewelry), a fair to do business: Vicenzaoro September (10 to 14 September) has a difficult, but not impossible, mission. The adhesions have been excellent, considering the period, and hopefully the largest European event (given that Baselworld has not yet risen) in the world of jewelry will return to the glories of the golden years.

The forecasts are positive: the Italian export of the gold and jewelery sector marks + 2.8% in the first five months of 2021 compared to the same period of 2019 (a comparison with + 86% compared to 2020 in the context of the health crisis is of little significance) . A positive dynamic that is also reflected in the import data. At the top of our exports are the United States and the United Arab Emirates (respectively + 67.4%, for 185.6 million in absolute value, and + 4.5% that is + 16.2 million) over the same period of 2019.

Translated: the entrances to the jewelery fair managed by Ieg will be allowed only to those who have a Green pass (which certifies recovery or vaccination), body temperature control, and use of the mask. Those who do not have a Green Pass can present the negative result of a swab performed in the last 48 hours.

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.

VicenzaOro warms up the engines




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. Copyright: gioiellis.com
VicenzaOro. Copyright: gioiellis.com

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.

Oroarezzo postponed to 2022




Oroarezzo, scheduled for next June, will be postponed to 2022. This was decided by the organizing company, Italian Exhibition Group, despite the new road map for the resumption of activities decided by the Italian government, but only from July onwards, together with more favorable criteria for the mobility of people from region to region. But, Ieg explains, uniform conditions for the mobility of people are still lacking at the international level, both in and out of their respective countries. This translates into a situation of uncertainty, which does not offer sufficient guarantees for an edition of the event with the international profile that has always characterized it.

OroArezzo 2018
OroArezzo 2018

It was, according to a press release, a decision shared with all the reference associations with which IEG has a frequent and productive confrontation in the design and programming of its events. The protagonists of the market agree that the current scenario does not let us imagine that as early as June 2021 large buyers from the Middle East, the United States, Asia and all other strategic Italian export markets can reach Arezzo.
Oroarezzo will therefore return in 2022 and in attendance: digital initiatives have proved useful in maintaining contact with buyers and increasing the visibility of the collections, but the demand and willingness of companies to return to operating in the exhibition halls with events remains very high. live.

Vicenzaoro postponed to March




V for virus, V for Vicenzaoro, which slips by a couple of months, in the hope that the second wave of the evil covid-19 has subsided. An inevitable decision: too many risks to keep the January date of the largest jewelry fair in Europe (thanks also to the disappearance of Baselworld).

Vicenzaoro, therefore, returns from 12 to 16 March 2021, again at the Vicenza Fair, in conjunction with T. Gold. It is a date that can also be good for companies: after all, until a couple of years ago, Baselworld was held at this time of the year. Ieg, the organizing company, is confident that international mobility can be resumed in March in Europe, but also from the United States, Japan, Russia, the Middle East and the Far East. In short, a return to normality, albeit probably with anti-contagion security measures still in force.
