Zancan for men between gold, diamonds and ceramics

Published on January 27, 2024

Zancan, a brand specializing in men’s jewellery, presented a series of new products at Vicenzaoro. The Studio collection is made using exclusively 925 silver and natural stones. It is a line inspired by immediately recognizable symbols, such as bolded crosses, swords, lightning, stars and biblical numbers. The finishes are satin, for an inspiration that comes from urban culture.

Ceramik Gold, on the other hand, is a collection that uses 18-karat gold and ceramic together. It stands out for its complexity of creation and for the craftsmanship required for its creation. Elaborate chains, metal intertwined with black ceramic: the collection immediately offers a strong personality for a premium level.

Eternity Gold is also a collection that plays on the development of the concept of chain, which here is transformed into complex shapes with an original design. Result obtained also thanks to the craftsmanship carried out manually by master goldsmiths in the Zancan laboratories. Bracelets and necklaces made of 18k gold are embellished with white and black diamonds. The complexity of the links, with a unique geometric and mechanical design, is the result of careful manual creation of each individual component.

In a historical moment in which the distances between women and men are narrowing, almost to cancel themselves, even the jewelry discovers the middle ground of gender fluid. Zancan, a Venetian brand that over the years has climbed the positions in the jewelry aimed at him, now offers collections for him & her, that is, that can be worn regardless of gender, attitudes or variables you prefer. This is the case of the Eternity Gold collection which, without giving up the male audience, also winks at the female one.

A common condition between the sexes, in any case, is determined by age: the jewels of the collection, in 18-karat gold and diamonds, are aimed primarily at a young audience, even if nothing prevents them from wearing them even if the registry has been recorded during the last century. Rose gold, white and white or black diamonds are used to compose chains with a strong volume for necklaces or bracelets. Obviously, people like the idea: Zancan closed 2021 with a record turnover of over 7 million, double-digit growth compared to 2020 and an increase of around 5% compared to 2019.

Insignia, that is a coat of arms, a symbol of recognition, is also a successful collection of the Venetian brand Zancan. They are gold and diamond jewels intended for the male audience. Now Zancan also joins the Insignia 925 which, as it is easy to deduce from the name, is a revival that uses silver. Simpler jewels, obviously less expensive, which instead of diamonds use natural stones such as black spinel. Silver is also treated with ruthenium to make it shiny, or it is satin-finished.

The design is minimal, but there are also pendants in the shape of a wind rose, a Zancan classic, which are also part of the most refined jewelry collection. The jewels, following a well-established trend, are genderless, translated: for both men and women. Zancan is a company in Ponte di Nanto (Vicenza) founded in 1989, which has focused on jewelry for a male audience, even if now the gender boundary has widened.

Brilliant prospects for Zancan jewels

Zancan’s jewels with a strong character are successful. According to what was communicated by the company from Ponte di Nanto (Vicenza), the 2021 financial statements closed with a record turnover of over 7 million euros, with double-digit growth compared to 2020 and an increase of around 5% compared to 2019. The increase, Zancan points out, is the result of several factors, including the development of distinctive collections, the geographical expansion of distribution and the push for e-commerce, inaugurated in 2017, which has had an average growth in these years of about 70-80%. The Venetian company is present in Italy in approximately 1,400 stores throughout the country, but it is above all the international markets that offer the greatest satisfaction. As regards abroad, at the moment the brand is present in over 600 points of sale: on the European market, in particular, since 2019 Zancan has focused on the development of the market of the so-called Dach countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) while for the 2022 the focus will shift to the development of the French market: there are already distribution agencies and agents in Portugal, Benelux, Switzerland, Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic.

On the other hand, Zancan’s presence in the Middle East in stores such as Levant in Dubai and Almajed in Qatar, which host major international brands, is ten years old: a strategic area in strong economic expansion, which represents enormous potential. The company therefore predicts that investments will therefore be required to accelerate. Zancan has also been present in North America for over twenty years, with a local representative and more than 200 stores. One of his next goals will be the opening of a company in the USA, in Miami, a strategic city considering that the Mexican market is also very significant and important for the brand. The products sold in Mexico, in fact, are all jewelry in 18-karat gold and diamonds and have an average selling price of around 20 thousand euros: this could be the starting point for Zancan to explore and develop the South American market. a geographical area that could prove to be particularly reactive, willing to spend on quality products and appreciating Made in Italy.

A prestigious position that fills us with pride and satisfaction. An important recognition for our work and for our professionalism. We therefore look to the near future with optimism also because during the recent participation in VicenzaOro and Jewelery Geneva, where we exclusively presented the second edition of the Cosmopolitan Luxury line and the latest addition to the Zancan house, the Couture Sapphire line, we were able to verify a strong appreciation for our collections and our work.
Riccardo Zancan, business manager of the company

On the marketing and communication front, for 2022, Zancan will continue the collaboration with Bugatti, one of the most prestigious and iconic brands in motoring, with a collection with an unmistakable style designed ad hoc, which has already had the merit of increasing the reputation of the brand and well represents the internationalization strategy of the Vicenza company. And for the Qatar Fifa 2022 World Cup, Zancan, through the partnership with the Almajed group, has been selected as a manufacturer of jewelery merchandise for men branded World Cup Fifa Qatar 2022.

Zancan’s silver man

Published on December 5, 2021

Jewelery for men is on the rise and recently many great Maisons have noticed it. But there are those who understood this before others, like Zancan. The Italian company specializes in bracelets and necklaces for a male audience, with growing success. Vigorous chains, locks in the shape of pitblulls, plus size rings: the jewels dedicated to a type of “Marlboro man”, virile, sporty, probably alpha. The jewels are in silver, in some cases with the addition of stones such as diamonds and black spinels, or white sapphires.

A choice that began in 2001, when the founder Robertino Zancan decided to employ the ability to work in the company’s jewelry in a sector, accessories for men, which was still uncrowded at the time. Zancan, who is based in the goldsmith district of Vicenza, therefore tried to interpret the male jewel for that group of men who do not disdain to wear a bracelet, a necklace and a ring. While cufflinks appear in the catalog, there are currently no earrings, which are probably not considered part of that traditional male world to which the company is aimed.

It’s a boom for men’s jewelry

Increases the business of men’s jewelry. And many jewelers do not lose the opportunity ♦ ︎

There are men who do not want to hear about it. There are women who do not like men who wear them. Yet the New York Times has dedicated a long article to jewelry for men. Starting from an incontrovertible fact: you can like it or not, but global sales of luxury jewelry for men reached 5.3 billion in 2017, with an increase of 22% from 4.3 billion in 2012 (data from Euromonitor International, a market research company). Of course, explains the American newspaper, the figure remains far below that for women, estimated at $ 31.9 billion in 2017. But the male jewelry is a trend that increasingly affects the budgets of companies in the sector.

In the foreground, according to experts, there are rings.

In the US, for example, men’s rings generate a third of jewelery sales and are on the rise. In second place there are necklaces, usually chains, which generate a quarter of sales. Actors, rappers and successful athletes contributed to the trend, thanks to an intensive use of showy jewelry for men. There is, however, a problem: men are not (usually) used to wearing bracelets, rings and necklaces. After a few minutes they are annoyed. For this reason, there are producers who have started to offer comfort-fit jewels, that is, easy to wear. An idea that probably would not mind too many women. The trick consists, for example, in creating rings in which the metal band is arched, so that it is not completely in contact with the skin.

Many listed jewelers, such as David Yurman, have been offering men’s jewelery lines for some time.

The rings of David Yurman are also made of titanium, carbon, black diamonds and reach almost $ 8,000. And there are those, like the Italian Marco Dal Maso, who started by focusing more on jewelry for men than for women. Stephen Webster introduced his men’s line for the first time 20 years ago, and came out with a unisex collection last year. Furthermore, on the catwalks of the men’s fashion shows, big fashion brands such as Gucci, Dior or Chanel paraded models wearing showy necklaces. The Alexander McQueen men’s collection also included necklaces with black Swarovski crystals and medallion pendants.

Parades and experiences

But it seems that, apart from the larger dimensions, the philosophy that accompanies jewelry for men is also different. For example, there are many who seek jewels that have not only a decorative function, but also a meaning. This is why the American Maison Dune Jewelry introduced a collection of transparent discs containing sand ten years ago. But it is not any sand: it comes from around 3,300 specific places all over the world, such as Yankee Stadium, Dubai and Maldives beaches, or golf courses in Ireland. The pieces then become personalized and Dune calls this type “experiential jewel”. This also does business. Cosimo Muzzano

Guns, Bullets and Skulls Become Gold and Diamond Jewelry in the Zancan Limited Edition collection ♦ ︎
Robertino Zancan, a rebel character. This is how describes himself the founder of the homonymous Maison, born in the fertile province of Vicenza specializes, in particular, in jewelery for men. But not only: Zancan has long since opened the door to the women’s world, as well as those British clubs that adapted to the times after having exclusively reserved the access to men for decades. In any case, Zancan’s collections are still largely dedicated to man, a rare case in the jewelery world. Among the many lines, of which the most famous is the one inspired by the nautical world, but stands out Limited Edition collection, which at VicenzaOro September has been partially renewed. That of the collection, let’s say, is not a subject much used in jewelery. Inspired by the concept of legitimate defense, the collection includes guns of various types (of course miniature and innocuous), hand bombs (do not explode), bullets and, dulcis in fundo, skulls. Weapons and bullets are precious: the pieces are made of gold and white and black diamonds. It is not said, however, that wearing them is a sign of aggressivity: it could simply be the desire to be rebellious, like Robertino Zancan. Rudy Serra
