As the landscape of international trade undergoes a seismic shift, Italian Exhibition Group’s premier manufacturing event returns to Arezzo this May, to showcase excellence and to equip the industry with the intelligence and connections needed to conquer tomorrow’s markets.
The golden nexus of Arezzo is preparing to transform once again into the epicenter of the global jewellery manufacturing universe. From the 9 to 12 May, Italian Exhibition Group (IEG) will open the doors of the 45th edition of Oroarezzo, an event that has long served as the benchmark for the industry’s finest production. But this year’s gathering promises to be a strategic command center for a sector navigating a rapidly reordering world.
If 2025 taught us anything, it’s that the old certainties of export are giving way to a more complex, multipolar reality. Recent trade data reveals a fascinating redistribution of weight: the European Union, the UAE, and Switzerland are absorbing more of the finest Italian gold, while traditional strongholds like Turkey show fluctuating demand. The message is clear: agility is the new currency.
Matteo Farsura, the head of IEG’s jewellery trade shows, puts it succinctly: “Markets change, but interest in Italian gold and jewelry does not fade. It is not the time to wait for change, we must build it together”. And building is precisely what this edition of Oroarezzo is designed to do.
For the discerning professional, Oroarezzo has always been the definitive source for the machinery, semi-finished goods, and components that give life to the world’s most iconic designs. This year, over 370 exhibitors will stand ready to demonstrate the apex of Italian manufacturing. However, the true value proposition for the 400+ hosted buyers, carefully curated in collaboration with the Italian Trade Agency (ITA), lies in the synthesis of product and perspective.
The headline innovation of the 2026 edition is the inaugural international congress, “Global markets, geopolitical scenarios and concrete tools for business growth”, set for Monday, 11 May. This is a direct response to the pressing questions on every industry leader’s mind.
We will dissect the potential of the newly ratified free trade agreement between the European Union and India, a deal signed just this January that promises the progressive elimination of tariffs and opens a subcontinent of opportunity. We will analyze the nerve centers of the luxury giants in France and Switzerland, and map the resilient supply chains stretching between the United States and Canada. Furthermore, in a nod to the future, the congress will cast a much-needed gaze toward the nascent opportunities taking shape across the African continent.
This intelligence is perfectly paired with action, IEG and ITA have amassed a buyer delegation engineered to exceed the coveted one-to-one ratio with exhibitors. While maintaining a strong contingent from the perennially vital US and UAE markets, the incoming strategy demonstrates remarkable foresight. A significant share of buyers will hail from the dynamic corridors of Eastern Europe, with a targeted focus on Asia, specifically Japan and China, and new frontiers in the Mercosur region, including Brazil, Mexico, and Panama.
These key players will not simply walk the aisles, they will be immersed in the rich cultural tapestry of Arezzo, from a networking aperitif at the historic Fraternita dei Laici to bespoke experiences designed to forge the personal bonds upon which this industry is built.
In a time of tariffs, trade agreements, and shifting geopolitical sands, Oroarezzo 2026 stands as a testament to the resilience and foresight of the Italian jewellery district. It is a reminder that while the markets may change, the desire for beauty, and the business of creating it, remains an enduring constant.
We look forward to seeing you in Arezzo this May to shape the next chapter of the jewellery industry together.
