The curtains have fallen on Vicenzaoro January 2025, an edition that underscored its position as the premier international gold and jewellery event, setting the stage for a dynamic year ahead.
Organized by the Italian Exhibition Group (IEG) and hosted at the Vicenza Expo Centre from 17 to 21 January, the show brought together over 1,300 exhibitors, with an impressive 40% hailing from 30 different countries. Attendees from across the globe experienced a unique fusion of innovation, craftsmanship, and strategic discussions that laid the groundwork for the jewellery industry’s future.
The event’s opening ceremony, held in the iconic Palladio Theatre, set the tone for the show. With high-profile speakers such as Valentino Valentini, Deputy Minister of Enterprise and Made in Italy (Memit), and Luca Zaia, President of the Veneto Region, the focus was squarely on safeguarding the legacy of Made in Italy jewellery. “The projection that Vicenzaoro has for the future is highly important,” remarked Valentini, emphasizing the role of legality and generational turnover as essential components for sustainable development.
The ceremony also highlighted the critical contributions of Italy’s renowned jewellery districts—Vicenza, Arezzo, Valenza, and Torre del Greco—whose unique designs and craftsmanship continue to captivate global markets. The presence of key stakeholders, including General Bruno Bartoloni of the Financial Police’s Economy and Finance Protection Unit and Claudia Piaserico representing national jewellery associations, reinforced the commitment to upholding the industry’s integrity and innovation.
According to the latest Istat data processed by Mediobanca, the Italian jewellery sector experienced a revenue growth of 5.8% in the first ten months of 2024, driven by a 7.2% surge in exports. The optimism surrounding the sector was further bolstered by the sixth edition of Intesa Sanpaolo’s study for Club degli Orafi Italia, which provided valuable insights into generational transitions and market sentiment. Notably, 47.5% of companies anticipate stable turnover in 2025, signaling resilience amid evolving market dynamics.
Vicenzaoro January once again proved to be the industry’s most comprehensive platform. The event featured exhibitors from Turkey, Hong Kong, India, Thailand, and Germany, alongside Italy’s finest, showcasing the diversity of the global jewellery supply chain. Notable highlights included the T.Gold show, which brought together 170 exhibitors specializing in cutting-edge jewellery technology and machinery, representing 16 countries.
A key theme of this January edition was fostering generational renewal. Over 600 high school students participated in VIOFF “Golden Ambition” initiative, gaining exposure to the jewellery sector and engaging directly with industry leaders. This emphasis on youth development aligns with the industry’s commitment to ensuring the continuity of skills and knowledge in a rapidly evolving market.
Vicenzaoro January 2025 unveiled four captivating style trends that encapsulate the transformative spirit of modern jewellery design:
Rebeluxe: A bold, industrial aesthetic featuring solid chains, spikes, and multiple earrings, representing a soft punk revival.
Naturama: A harmonious blend of nature-inspired motifs, cutting-edge technology, and sustainability, with titanium and vibrant colors taking center stage.
Retro Glam: A nod to Art Deco elegance, reinterpreted with modern materials, polished yellow gold, pearls, and semi-precious stones.
Refined Essence: Minimalist yet sophisticated designs characterized by circular silhouettes and delicate patterns, accented with diamonds for everyday luxury.
Vicenzaoro’s commitment to shaping the industry’s future was evident in the announcement of a new exhibition hall, designed by Hamburg-based GMP Studio, set to debut in early 2026. This investment proves IEG’s dedication to providing a state-of-the-art platform for the jewellery sector’s continued growth.
Vicenzaoro January 2025 was a vibrant confluence of tradition, innovation, and vision; as the industry’s global leaders look ahead, the themes of sustainability, generational renewal, and technological advancement will undoubtedly shape the narrative of jewellery’s next chapter.
With its exceptional commitment to excellence, Vicenzaoro remains the cornerstone of the jewellery world, crafting a future as brilliant as the treasures it celebrates.
