Vicenzaoro closes at + 10%




Everyone happily ever after in Vicenzaoro. Certainly the organizers, that is Italian Exhibition Group, are. And, probably, many exhibitors too, if you consider the numbers. The September edition of the jewelery fair surpassed the pre-covid results: visitors were 10% more than in 2019, with an increase in arrivals from abroad of 20%. Business is likely to have risen as a result. In the final press release at the end of the fair, Ieg released figures that, perhaps, may regret the companies that have decided not to participate. Here are the data, rather comforting for the sector, given that Vicenzaoro is a B2B event, that is, accessible only to operators (and journalists), and the positive comments of the representatives of some of the brands present.

The foreign presence has been excellent for us, both from overseas and from Europe, for potential and new dealers, with quality visits in line with our positioning and with what we are looking for. We also found interest and propensity for the future, all positive notes.

For Fabergé Vicenzaoro, September 2022 was a very successful event in terms of commercial, visitor and press terms, despite a complicated period from a socio-economic and political point of view. We are extremely satisfied, because we have met many of our partners and developed new contacts and relationships from all over the world, in an edition that was the stage for us to exhibit our object d’art dedicated to Game of Thrones, a unique piece in the world presented at Vicenzaoro for the first time in Europe.

Vicenzaoro kicks off with the trend wind




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.

Vo Vintage returns to Vicenza




Together with Vicenzaoro, vintage jewels and watches are back. The Vo Vintage event, first introduced in January 2020, just before the outbreak of the pandemic, takes place in parallel in Vicenzaoro. It is housed on the first floor of the Vicenza Fair, in the foyer, and provides the possibility of access for the public, while Vicenzaoro is reserved for professional users. The new edition of Vo Vintage is scheduled for three days in September (9-11), while Vicenzaoro will continue two more days (9-13). The attendance of the first three editions (this is the fourth) was encouraging and the organizer of Vicenzaoro and Vo, that is Ieg, decided to insist on this path.

Also in the September 2022 edition there will be retailers, but also watch collectors such as Sandro Fratini, with his son Giulio, and Auro Montanari, watchmaking opinion leaders such as Bruno Bergamaschi (aka Giorgione), experts in the technique and watchmaking history such as Ugo Pancani of the Geneva-based FHH (Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie) and the master watchmaker Luca Soprana.

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, 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).

Here’s what Voice-Vicenzaoro will be like




The Voice was one of Frank Sinatra’s nicknames. Now, instead, in Italy the Voice is Michela Amenduni, Ieg’s product marketing & communication manager Jewelery & Fashion Division. That is, the woman on whom the burden and honor of making Voice known (Vicenza, 12-14 September), the cousin event of Vicenzaoro September, the fair that was canceled due to the well-known global health emergency. Although Italian Exhibition Group, the company that organizes Vicenzaoro, has tried to organize it until the last, this year it was impossible to re-propose the classic fair dedicated to jewelry, which weighs about 13% of the turnover of Ieg (a company that is listed on the Stock Exchange ). Here, then, is the idea of ​​a different format, but no less interesting for this. “In fact, in the future he could also walk with his own legs,” the manager anticipates.

Michela Amenduni, product marketing & communication manager Jewellery & Fashion Division di Ieg
Michela Amenduni, product marketing & communication manager Jewellery & Fashion Division di Ieg

How the idea of ​​Voice was born.
“We have collected requests from companies and sector associations, but also from many buyers, especially from Germany. During the lockdown, when only Italy had stopped, the perception from abroad was that everything was over, that businesses had disappeared. But no, Italian companies are alive and active. But it was not possible to propose Vicenzaoro with half the world blocked because of the virus. Too many question marks”.
voice
The format.
“The idea is Voice, an acronym for Vicenzaoro International Community Event, but it is also an evocative name: we give voice to the jewelry sector. A summit. The Basel and Hong Kong fairs have been canceled, Voice for businesses is the first occasion of the year, after VicenzaOro January. Three days full of opportunities for meetings, including moments of training in collaboration with universities, debates, followed in streaming on social media. But also business. With the help of the ICE there will also be buyers, in particular we are focused on those from the Schengen area “.

The staging.
“Impossible to recreate the same environment of Vicenzaoro. Participating companies will have booths of 15 square meters available, which can double and which, of course, are customizable. We will also try to recreate a color code that relates to the division into homogeneous areas of activity, as is the case for Vicenzaoro. And a lot of space available to comply with health security measures “.

Voice Talk
Voice Talk

Exhibitors and business.
“300 exhibitors have already confirmed their presence, but the number could go up again, perhaps up to 400. For them there is the Buyer Virtual Room project. How does it work? It is a platform (I-Mop Ieg Meeting Omnichannel Platform) that has already been tested in the Rimini tourism fair, and already used for GoldItaly in Arezzo. For the virtual meetings some rooms will be set up “.

Who is there, who is not there.
«To help exhibitors we are collaborating with Alo, a company that creates 3D videos: in the rooms dedicated to remote connections with foreign buyers you will have the opportunity to project videos of the jewels with a much better performance. This can be useful for brands that sell a lot abroad and who have not yet decided whether to participate in Voice.

The future.
«The Voice format could support Vicenzaoro in the future. But don’t replace it. For example, Voice could become an event that walks with its own legs, a hybrid format, more compact and versatile, which could also be exported to the world, from Shanghai to Panama. We’ll see”.

Sustainability will shine at VicenzaOro





VicenzaOro focuses on sustainable jewelry for the September edition ♦ ︎

Among the fairs dedicated to jewelry there are great changements: the market changes, the digital channel takes attention, there are those who decide to do it themselves, like Pasquale Bruni or de Grisogono. Furthermore, new protagonists have appeared, such as GemGèneve, while Il Jck returns to the original location of the Sand Expo in Las Vegas and the presence of Couture is strengthened in the same city. Not to mention the increasingly mammoth Hong Kong Fair.

In the face of all this turmoil, VicenzaOro anticipates some themes and news for next September. The International Jewellery Show, organized by the Italian Exhibition Group this year will take place a couple of weeks earlier than usual, from 7 to 11 September. The advance was decided in order to avoid overlapping with the dates of international fashion and to facilitate the use of operators in both sectors, which are confirmed as increasingly close.

The theme of the September event will be Spreading Sustainability and will be developed both on the occasion of Visio: Next Summit, that is the inaugural round table, and during the events scheduled during the entire event. The Vioff is confirmed, that is the outline of the Fuori Fiera of which Ieg is the Official Partner. It also confirms for The Design Room, the area dedicated to 12 high-end designers within the Icon community. The Watch Room, a space dedicated to 12 independent producers in the sector, will be positioned in the colonnade in the fashion district’s Look pavilion.

Homi Fashion & Jewels is born

/





Homi Fashion & Jewels is born, a spin-off of the fair held twice a year in Milan ♦ ︎

In Milan, in Italy a new fair dedicated to jewelry or, more precisely, to bijoux. It will be called Homi Fashion & Jewels, a six-monthly event dedicated to the world of bijoux and fashion accessories. Actually this appointment already exists, only that it is incorporated into Homi, a fair that includes other types of products. Now, however, Homi has decided to split into three. Next to Homi Fashion & Jewels, is born Homi Outdoor, on an annual basis: it’s focusing to outdoor combined with the home & decoration offer. These two new formats will take place from 13 to 16 September 2019. The third format is called, instead, Homi the Lifestyles Exhibition, and will focus on a single major edition starting in January 2020.

It should be noted that Homi Fashion & Jewels will be close to VicenzaOro September (7-11 September 2019).

Although the vast majority of exhibitors at the two events are different, there are some brands that usually participate in both fairs. For example, Lebole Gioielli, Alcozer, Aibijoux. The almost overlap will probably put these brands in front of a choice, or a difficult logistics organization.
The latest edition of Homi in January, number 11, saw the participation of 80 thousand operators from more than 90 countries, including Russia (605 registered ones), Spain, Switzerland, China, France and Japan.

VicenzaOro: numbers in black and white





The VicenzaOro September numbers: the balance seems pink. But there is some shadow ♦ ︎

It is said that silence is golden. But even optimism shines a lot. In VicenzaOro’s is even sparkling. Lowered the curtain also on the autumn edition 2018, it’s time to draw conclusions. The organizer of VicenzaOro, Italian Exhibition Group, is optimistic. The visitors, according to the official press release, “remain in line with those of the September 2017 edition, over 20,000”. Actually, 23,000 were been last year. According to the press release, 1500 buyers were present, “including representatives of the large American department stores and the most important Chinese and European chains”, who were invited thanks to the economic contribution of the ICE.

Instead, the total number of operators, which last year had risen to 14.385, is missing.

L'area Design Room a VicenzaOro September
L’area Design Room a VicenzaOro September

A forgetfulness perhaps caused by the unfortunate coincidence of VicenzaOro with the most important Jewish holidays, which have led many operators, both jewelry and gems, not to be present at the event. Not even the number of companies present is mentioned in the press release. Last year the brands (not the companies) had been indicated in 1300. This year the companies present in the official list were 1158 (we hope to have counted well). Baselworld effect? Maybe not, but a filings seems to have been there.
On the other hand, the number of countries present rose to 117 and this makes VicenzaOro even more international. A boom in Chinese visitors has been recorded (+ 73%) due to the lowering of import duties. Among other things, two women citizen of the Asian country were surprised to steal and arrested. Visits from the United States are also growing (+ 23%), while those from the United Arab Emirates and European countries are stable. See you in January.

A gold September for VicenzaOro




VicenzaOro is back to the golden 2007: it has increased visitors and buyers ♦ ︎
That the economic crisis, and consequently also for the goldsmith industry, is over? VicenzaOro’s budget seems to leave behind the questions of the eve. And, yes, it seems that everything went well, indeed, more than good. The numbers announced by Ieg, the organizer of the show are perhaps higher than expectations: the best result was achieved since 2007. VicenzaOro September saw among pavilions and booths 23,000 visitors (+ 20%), including 14,000 buyers (+ 22.7% compared to September 2016). Stable brands, 1,300, from 36 countries. It was also the goal for the investment by ICE (the State Export Institute), which has hosted at its expense 500 buyers selected from the major markets, and 800 gold managed directly by Ieg. In short, the formula of the Italian Exhibition Group works, and thegovernment support are a help.
“Vicenzaoro fully represents the innovative vision of Ieg. It is our most internationally product that promotes a range of excellence and is able to seat all the protagonists of the supply chain in a fruitful system optics at the same table. An ambassador event of the world’s best jewelery” commented Ieg’s Vice-President Matteo Marzotto. And Corrado Facco, general manager of the new fair group, who plans a Ipo for the next fall, has pointed out that the recovery is taking place despite the geopolitical situation being still not very easy in the world.
The least positive aspect is that the increase is mainly due to foreign countries, rather than from Italy. In short, the internal jewelry market remains not very lively. Instead, the most active buyers were those from Europe, particularly from Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Belgium and Spain, but also from Central and Eastern Europe. Turkey and Iran are also positive, stalling Middle East operators, modestly increasing America, China and Russia.

The novelty of VicenzaOro




The novelty of VicenzaOro September, the largest Italian appointment for jewelery ♦ ︎
Doubling of buyers (500 hosted ones) and doubling the hope of filing the crisis of recent years, which inevitably has also involved the jewelery world. VicenzaOro September (23-27 September) aims to get away pessimism and return to the splendor of the golden years, in the full sense of the term. Of course, times are difficult, as the differentes fortunes of the companies show. But Italian jewelery exports prove solid, especially in countries like the United States or Great Britain, where sales of made in Italy in gold and diamonds are a success. However, some of the brands in the pavilions (1,300 out of 35 countries) are the signal that nothing is fixed, including the participation in consolidated events such as VicenzaOro (“we have selected,” says Corrado Facco, general manager of the Italian Exhibition Group a group that includes Vicenza Fair). On the other hand, the same thing had happened in Baselworld.
Vicenzaoro’s new formula, in any case, has proven to be effective and is confirmed by areas with exhibitors divided by activity (Icon, Look, Creation, Expression, Essence, Evolution), to which a field dedicated to watches is added. This is Now, an inscription that stands for Not Ordinary Watches, within the Icon District of Hall 7. The niche Watches has 11 brands that belong to specific product categories and that are trendy. In short, it is better to point out that the idea is not a competition with Baselworld.
Appointments. In addition to the booths, for visitors, the fair also offers the opportunity to attend conferences and conferences (the full agenda can be found here), including the one on Monday, September 25th Make Brand to Save Made in Italy, organized by the Goldsmith’s Club. In addition to Gabriele Aprea, Club and Chantecler president, Emanuele Alliotti Visdomini, vice-president of Vhernier and Ieg’s vice-president, Matteo Marzotto, are speachs on the agenda. Other news are Lebanese jewels. The Bookrah collection, which was created in collaboration with designers Nadja Zerunian and Peter Weisz of the Austrian design company Zerunianandweisz and handmade by the goldsmiths of Bourj Hammoud, a neighborhood in Beirut, where he lives a community that has behind generations of craftsmen engaged in the gold processing industry. The designers took inspiration from the topography of Bourj Hammoud to create brooches, earrings, rings and bracelets divided into three lines, based on the same concept, but each with its own style.

Sotheby’s, auction on September 21

It is already time to think about new auctions of jewels: the first scheduled for the coming months is to Christie’s, scheduled for September 15, but at the moment we do not know the pieces that will be offered. A few days later, on September 21, a date that also marks the astronomical end of summer, is Sotheby’s, also in the British capital, to auction Fine Jewels. In this case there are already the first images of the pieces for sale and we anticipate that the auction session will include a selection of drawings, some of the legendary jewelry houses such as Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels, as well as Hemmerle, Boucheron and Oscar Heyman . Van Cleef & Arpels, for example, is already in the catalog a bracelet of gold and rock crystal estimated 3-5000 pounds, while Cartier is a gaudy brooch with citrines evaluated 6-8000 pounds. Stay tuned. Federico Graglia
