In the heart of the historic Veneto region of Italy, the city of Vicenza is poised to once again become the epicenter of the global jewelry world. From January 16 to 20, 2026, the Italian Exhibition Group (IEG) will host Vicenzaoro January (VOJ26), under the new banner “People · Product · Places”, promising to be an indispensable confluence of business, innovation, and inspiration for the international jewelry community.
Vicenzaoro has long been revered as the “Trend Show”, a bi-annual bellwether for style and craftsmanship, and for its January 2026 edition, it crystallizes its essence into a powerful triad. Presenting the pinnacle of manufacturing excellence, from high jewelry to contemporary design, and showcasing the finest of Made in Italy and international creations. At the core are the People, the designers, artisans, master goldsmiths, buyers, and visionaries who form the lifeblood of this global network. Finally, Places acknowledges the physical and symbolic stages where magic happens: the redesigned Vicenza Expo Centre, the historic city itself, and the far-flung markets that converge here. A bold declaration that jewelry is born from the inseparable alchemy of human talent, tangible beauty, and inspirational environments.
A highlight of VOJ26 is the inaugural VO Awards, a prestigious new initiative designed to honor and elevate excellence within the exhibiting community. Recognizing that today’s market rewards more than aesthetics, the awards span eight categories across creativity, innovation, sustainability, and craftsmanship. From the Best in ICON – High End Jewellery to the Best in Special – Young for talents under 30, the awards will spotlight the drivers of the future of the industry. A jury of twelve international experts, from gemology and manufacturing to sustainability and retail, will select finalists, with buyers and visitors granted a unique opportunity to cast their vote during the show, making the ceremony a truly communal celebration.
Running concurrently is T.Gold, the world’s leading B2B exhibition for jewelry technology and machinery. As raw material costs continue to challenge the industry, technology emerges as the key to both competitiveness and sustainability. In its final iteration in Hall 9 before integrating into the newly expanded Expo Centre in September 2026, T.Gold will present live demonstrations of revolutionary processes. From additive manufacturing with precious metal powders to advanced automation and laser welding, these innovations are crucial for optimizing resources, reducing waste, and enabling unprecedented customization. With 170 exhibitors from 16 countries, T.Gold is where the industry’s tangible future is being forged.
Beyond the main exhibition, VO Vintage (January 16-19) will cater to connoisseurs and collectors of fine vintage watches and jewelry in an elegant B2C lounge. The event schedule is rich with insight: Trendvision Jewellery + Forecasting will provide indispensable market intelligence, while seminars by CIBJO will address technical and standards-related advancements. The experience extends beyond the exhibition walls with Vicenzaoro VIOFF, a program of cultural and lifestyle events in collaboration with the city, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in Italian artistry, from the Palladian architecture to culinary delights.
Understanding the value of a buyer’s time, IEG has enhanced the visitor experience through seamless digital integration. The Jewellery Connect platform and app allow for advanced planning, appointment scheduling, and intelligent navigation of the vast offerings. This thoughtful approach ensures that every moment at Vicenzaoro is productive, insightful, and connected.
As the first major event of the international jewelry calendar, Vicenzaoro January 2026 is a milestone. It is where heritage is honored, current trends are set, and the future is actively shaped through dialogue, discovery, and award-winning innovation. It is the definitive destination for any professional dedicated to the art, science, and business of jewelry.
