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.

Il brand di VicenzaOro

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.

The presence of technology has also been confirmed and enhanced, which since the last edition has also been presented at Vicenzaoro September with T.Evolution, dedicated to companies specializing in the design, production and sale of small machinery and high-tech tools for the jewelery sector, with the participation of relevant technical partners to coordinate a schedule of training interventions together with the companies.

Homi Fashion & Jewels is born

Published on February 5, 2019

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.

Goodbye Pippo Perez

The disappearance of Pippo Perez just during VicenzaOro January ♦ ︎

He was planning work and travel. Instead, just during Vicenza Oro, where he was present, Pippo Perez died. The jeweler, who died on 19 January, had 72. His daughter, Gaia Perez, will give continuity to the Maison. The news of the death of Pippo Perez surprised many, although down in December the jeweler had been hospitalized. The problem seemed to have been overcome, but his condition suddenly worsened on 19 January. Perez was the heir to a Neapolitan dynasty of jewelers. His grandfather was a jeweler with a shop in Naples, and his father became a jeweler and designer too.

La Maison was founded in 2006 and immediately distinguished itself in the world of jewelry.

The style chosen by Pippo Perez is that of entertaining jewels, precious but also casual, with animals, fish, flowers, icons, symbols. In short, a sporty and cheerful luxury, as was the designer himself. Recognizing Perez it was easy, because he almost always wore red-rimmed glasses, a blue jacket and often welcomed guests with a big smile.
Now his activity will be continued by the team that has supported him in recent years. The designer’s disappearance was announced on Instagram (sign of the times):

“We want to remember him with the same affection and the contagious smile with which he has always welcomed us in his precious family. The company thanks all those who knew him and appreciated his charisma and his character, as a designer and first of all as a man, carrying on his work with his style and his unmistakable signature “.

The budget of VicenzaOro January: the jewelery fair is more and more international ♦ ︎

Turned off the lights of VicenzaOro January, closed the display cases where the jewels have shone, dismounted the booths that waiting visitors , the time has come to take stock. How did this edition of the biggest Italian jewelery fair go? Italian Exhibition Group, the company that organizes the event, does not offer an exhaustive overview of all the numbers, but ensures to be satisfied with the result.

In general, there seems to have been a greater international contribution.

Ieg, with greater enthusiasm, speaks of “formidable growth of foreign visitors”. In fact, the numbers comfort the optimism: there were over 60% of foreign operators. They had passed the Italians already in 2018, when had been a surge in arrivals from abroad. Indeed, the US and China have confirmed the performance of 2018, but also Europe has seen increasing presences: between Germany, Switzerland, Austria, + 12%, the United Kingdom (+ 11.7%), France (+ 10.5%) ), Spain (+ 9.6%), Northern Europe + 10.5%. The United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia are in strong recovery (after last year’s drops) + 24.2%. Even Russia and Ukraine have seen 10.4% more presences, with an exploit of Kazakhstan to + 46%. No data, however, regarding India, which in 2018 had seen an increase of 51%. The statement confines itself to indicating, instead, that “the origin of visitors from Italy has confirmed the positive figure of last year”.

Chapter presences
VicenzaOro January closed with over 35,000 visitors. In 2018 there were 36,000, but the previous year 33,000. In short, we are average. As in previous years, the Ministry of Development, through the Ice (public authority for foreign trade), has helped by hosting over 400 buyers selected from the main markets, which have been added to over 2000 operators managed directly by IEG.
The brands in the display windows of the exhibitors were shown in 1500, more or less like last year, despite the forfait of historical brands such as Pasquale Bruni or Garavelli, but with the rentré of important Maison like Chantecler. In any case, 42% of the brands came from companies in 35 countries, like last year.

Ieg’s satisfaction also for the contemporary T.Gold, a show dedicated to technologies for the different processing of jewelery: now in its 41st edition, “it has confirmed its undisputed leadership at international level and its representative role of Italian technological excellence” . Next appointments of IEG: OroArezzo from 6 to 9 April and Premier Show in Las Vegas, 30 May – 3 June 2019.

New look for VicenzaOro

Published on December 12, 2018

news

Ieg changes VicenzaOro’s look with a gold leaf on a purple background. That’s why ♦ ︎

With a superficial glance reminds of a chips, round, golden and very tasty: ones that are sold in packages. The new symbol of VicenzaOro, however, obviously alludes to something else: a gold leaf, to the goldsmith’s skill made in Italy and, not least, to a change in graphics with respect to the management of Marzotto & Facco.

Just a few days after postponing the announced listing on the Stock Exchange (“we wait for a more favorable moment”), Ieg, the company that manages, among other things, the Vicenza trade fair announces the change in image.

La nuova brand identity di VicenzaOro

Farewell to the poster vaguely styled Magritte, here is the new face studied by FutureBrand, a brand consulting company, to which Ieg has entrusted the task of rebranding: read gold leaves flying on a dark blue and purple background.
“The collaboration with FutureBrand has allowed us to witness the evolution of an important event like VicenzaOro, which leaves the geographical territory and is positioned among the most important business events in the world, to dialogue with operators across the entire supply chain in the sector of jewelry “, comments Marco Carniello, director of Ieg’s Jewelery & Fashion Division.
“Italy is the country of excellence and it is above all in the luxury and design sector, so collaborating with a brand like VicenzaOro has been a challenge for us at a high strategic and creative rate”, adds Lorenzo Corengia, associate account director of FutureBrand. ”
The new brand identity will make its official debut at VicenzaOro January (Vicenza, 18-23 January 2019), the first appointment of the reference year for the sector.

(Italiano) Pasquale Bruni dice addio a Baselworld e VicenzaOro

Published on November 26, 2018

news

The Italian fine jewelry firm Pasquale Bruni decided not to participate in Baselworld and VicenzaOro. That’s why ♦ ︎

The revolution in the world of fairs dedicated to jewelry is permanent. Not only the big watchmaking brands that leave Baselworld. But even big jewelry brands radically change strategy. After the announcement that de Grisogono will not take part in the Basel fair, here is another great brand, Pasquale Bruni, that bids farewell to the Swiss stage. But he does more: he says goodbye to VicenzaOro too. It is a bad blow for both events, given that Pasquale Bruni is one of the great names in fine and high Italian jewelry. Below is the press release by Pasquale Bruni, who will still be present in Hong Kong.

With this news, the Maison announces the decision not to participate in the next edition of Baselworld, the world’s watch and jewelery show which has been exhibiting for more than 20 years. Consistent with this path of change, the company will not participate in Vicenzaoro.
These events played a fundamental role in the growth and distribution of Pasquale Bruni, but the need to break away from traditional contexts is part of a strategy that wants to look towards the future, offering a tailor-made and more intimate experience to the client.
The decision stems from the need to take an innovative approach to customers while ensuring support for the entire wholesale network.
The showroom in via Manzoni (in Milan ed), designed by David Chipperfield, one of the most eminent and successful contemporary architects, will be the heart of dedicated activities and events that will allow even more direct contact with the press and customers at national and international. The chairman, Pasquale Bruni, comments: “Greater proximity to markets and their needs is developing. This year the Maison strengthens its presence also in the Far East, exposing the new collections in a showroom in Hong Kong. The US branch continues to grow, with a 40% increase in business volume in 2018 “.

VicenzaOro, among the news there is the farewell of Marzotto

The vice president of Ieg, Matteo Marzotto, leaves the company with controversy, while they preparing the edition of VicenzaOro January ♦ ︎

There are already the first changes for the next edition of VicenzaOro January. But at the appointment of the winter edition of the jewelery fair, controversy also shine. That can not leave the insiders indifferent.

A few days ago, in fact, Matteo Marzotto, vice president of IEG, a company born from the union of Fiera Rimini with Fiera Vicenza, has resigned from his position, in a controversy with the octogenarian president of Italian Exhibition Group, the very senior Lorenzo Cagnoni.

It is not a little good-bye, as Marzotto must be credited with having relaunched VicenzaOro, above all at a difficult time for the Italian economy. New ideas, dynamism and personal relationships of Marzotto were the recipe for the new face of the format, which was then successfully exported abroad. All this, however, does not seem to have been enough for the new management of the company. More than a merger between two partners, it is the sense of the farewell of Marzotto, it was a question of an OPA of Rimini on Vicenza. And for Ieg, whose goal is to be listed on the stock exchange, Marzotto’s leave is not a minor goodbye.

The distance had already appeared clear during the last edition of VicenzaOro September, in which Marzotto was not involved.

Matteo Marzotto, presidente di Fiera Vicenza (a sinistra) e Corrado Facco, direttore generale — Matteo Marzotto, ex presidente di Fiera Vicenza (a sinistra) e Corrado Facco, ex direttore generale

In any case, the Veneto entrepreneur did not use half-terms and denounced in a letter the lack of “institutional respect of the minority shareholder, too often ill-tolerated and kept on the sidelines, even on occasions of important decisions, such as that of assignment of the design for the enlargements of the exhibition areas, brought to the board by ad Ravanelli to things widely done and for mere disclosure”.
Marzotto’s letter also underlines what the experts have been saying negatively for some time: the hasty dismissal of the former director of Fiera Vicenza, Corrado Facco, Marzotto’s right-hand man and co-author of the re-launch of VicenzaOro.
“The way we look is practically opposite on everything, except on the goodness of the merger of the two fair companies and their listing on the Stock Exchange”, concluded Marzotto bitterly.

Maybe even to spread a veil on this epilogue not commendable, IEG begins to turn on the lights on the next appointment. Here are the news: Roberto Coin will present the new versions of the Princess Flower collection, Damiani the extensions of the D.Side, Eden and the iconic Belle Epoque collections. In the Icon area there will be Fope, Crivelli, Leo Pizzo, Tamara Comolli, Djula. A confirmation is also that of Alessio Boschi in the Design Room, in which he will also find the Parisian designer-artist Lydia Courteille, the Vicentine Mattia Cielo (for him a return) and Monica Rich Kosann. Confirmation also for Giovanni Raspini, Rue de Milles, Victoria Cruz, Bronzallure, Crieri. Cosimo Muzzano

New dates for OroArezzo

OroArezzo changes date: in 2019 it will be held from 6 to 9 April. Here is why ♦

OroArezzo changes and anticipates. In 2019 it will be immediately after Baselworld (21-26 March) and immediately before Easter (21 April). The event organized by IEG aimed at enhancing the best “Made in Italy goldsmith production” at the international level will take place from 6 to 9 April 2019, again at Arezzo Fiere e Congressi.

The choice of IEG, which in these days is about to jump to the stock market quotation (except for surprises), was made to “better harmonize the calendar of fairs in the gold sector and to avoid overlapping with religious holidays” ( Easter, but also Jewish holidays and Ramadan) in order to facilitate the presence of exhibitors and buyers from target markets for the Italian goldsmith district.
Ieg also organizes Vod Dubai International Jewellery Show (Dubai 14-17 November), VincenzaOro January (Vicenza, 18-23 January 2019); T.Gold (together with VincenzaOro January); Premiere (Las Vegas, May 30 – June 3, 2019); VicenzaOro September (Vicenza, 7-11 September 2019) together with Gold Italy Fall 2019.

Poll: will you go to Baselworld? The result is…

Published on October 3, 2018

news

Will you participate in Baselworld? Survey of Gioiellis.com among the jewelers of VicenzaOro. Here is the result ♦ ︎

In short, will you go to Baselworld 2019? The question was asked about thirty jewelers present in VicenzaOro. The responses to this mini-survey, which has a narrow but qualified base, was not unanimous. Almost a chorus, however, the postillion that followed the answer: “No names, please”. In short, anonymity in exchange for a frank comment of the record.

Perhaps jewelers fear that an uncertain response may contain a negative message?

Type: the market is difficult and we are not in the mood for spending? Maybe. Or the desire not to expose oneself in first person could mean the will not to let the competitors know their moves. Everything is possible. How could it also be the intent of not letting their intentions know to Mch, the company that manages Baselworld. “In fact, beyond the good intentions announced by Michel Loris-Melikoff, the new CEO of Basleworld, we have not received concrete proposals”, explains the manager of a brand that has been present for many years at the Basel fair. “For this reason we do not say no, but neither yes. We’ll see”. “Of course if they do not hurry up to explain what are the announced news, at the ends we up taking other decisions,” mutters the owner of a Piedmontese brand, also a veteran of Baselworld. Which, however, finally admits that it will probably come back.

Others, on the other hand, are more hard: some have made the irrevocable decision to desert the Masses, but others, in spite of everything, consider it an indispensable appointment.

Although we have sworn not to attribute the votes of the mini-survey to names and surnames, we can generally say that the biggest brands are more likely to re-present themselves at Baselworld, while the greater uncertainty or even the security of not attending the watch and jewelery fair is the prerogative of the little ones. To be precise, it must be added, finally, that some of the participants in the survey were not present even at the latest edition of Baselworld.

And here we are, then to the results of the survey.

Number of respondents: 32
Yes, we will definitely come back to Baselworld: 18 (56.2%)
No, for sure we will not participate in Baselworld: 7 (21.9%)
Perhaps, we are undecided: 7 (21.9%)

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.

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.

Salvini puts the color in Luminosa

Salvini still extends the Luminosa collection with jewels with emeralds, rubies and sapphires ♦ ︎

It would be wrong to abandon a road that turns out to be full of pleasant surprises. Or, as in the case of Salvini’s Luminosa collection, full of confirmations. The Luminosa collection, in fact, is a successful case of the Maison that is part of the Damiani group. And so periodically the collection is expanded with new pieces. And now also with the addition of color.

At VicenzaOro Salvini presented variants of the Luminosa collection with rubies, emeralds and sapphires.

In short, not just diamonds, which remain the queen stone of the Piedmontese house, but also that touch of classic precious gems. Salvini, it is good to remember, follows a path away from the experimentations, sometimes bizarre, of some designers. Instead, he prefers the sure approach of a style that is mostly dedicated to jewelry for anniversaries, engagements and weddings. In this case rings, necklaces and earrings keep the star shape that has inaugurated the collection, but put in the center a stone that adds liveliness to the jewel. Lavinia Andorno

By Coronet a case for iPhone with 6576 diamonds

La custodia per iPhone ricoperta da 6576 diamanti, per un peso di 16,95 carati

An iPhone case covered with diamonds. As a stick for lipstick: these are the new Coronet records ♦ ︎

A record, a primacy, a podium, always have a certain effect. But perhaps Aaron Shum, founder of Coronet and president of Aaron Shum Jewelry Limited of Hong Kong does not get too excited: he is accustomed to the primates. A few years ago he presented a electric guitar, unique in the world: a Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass with 16.033 Swarovski crystals. In 2015 it was the turn of the most precious guitar in the world: a Gibson covered with diamonds weighing 400 carats, 1.6 kilograms of 18 carat gold, worth 2 million dollars. In March he surprised everyone with a bottle shaped Coca-Cola bag studded with 9888 diamonds. And in 2018 he won another best record with an iPhone case covered with 6576 diamonds, weighing 16.95 carats. When we say primacy it is not by way of saying.

At VicenzaOro, Mr. Aaron Shum received the certificate from Guinness World Records.

In fact, it is difficult for anyone to make a cell phone case that is more precious than this. But not only. Because Coronet has also presented another object of primacy: a lipstick, also covered with small diamonds. In this case the diamonds are 2216, for 18.6 carats. Even the lipstick has received a certificate that attests the world record. Coronet, however, also emphasizes the innovative setting, which allows diamonds to float in an absolutely transparent material, which is also used for the manufacture of bullet-proof glass. And this avoids the use of metal prongs.

Tamara Comolli colors her collections with the nuances of autumn ♦ ︎

What are the autumn colors of a German designer with an Italian surname? Answer: they are shades ranging from white to brown. Tamara Comolli in VicenzaOro has decided to present jewels that are added to its most famous lines, as the India, Mikado, Bouton, Snowflakes, Signature and CV collections.
Among the novelties are the bracelets and necklaces of the India collection, which add two full gold leaves, symbol of the collection itself. Moonstone spheres in shades of orange, white and brown, interspersed with pink gold spheres design the Camel mood.

Still moonstone in gray, white and brown with white gold spheres for the Cashmere collection, which can be worn as necklaces, or wrapped around the wrist as bracelets.

The same soft tones of the India collection are found in the additions to the Mikado and Bouton collections, which use the cabochon cut of the moonstone. In the Mikado collection the cut is an elongated cabochon which takes the form of an acorn, which is the connotation of the Maison.
Tamara Comolli, in short, continues to focus on Italy: “Participation in the Vicenza event is of great importance for us, as part of the project to develop our distribution in Italy. We left with Milan and the presence at the Watchmaking Pisa to arrive in June 2018 with the opening of the first single-brand store in Forte dei Marmi. The taste and the philosophy of my creations are very close to the needs of the Italian client. Today we are receiving very encouraging feedback, the reception of the Bel Paese was warm as I expected”, the designer comments.
