The 34th edition of OroArezzo, the exhibition dedicated to goldsmith and silversmith art and jewellery from the major Italian goldsmith district, was one of the best editions of the last few years.
On 24.500 square meters of exhibition space, and with 480 companies exhibiting and over 10.000 operators coming from 81 foreign countries including 225 big buyers, OroArezzo concluded on 13-16 April 2013 one of its most important editions ever.
“We could notice a strong vitality in business, apart from the large group of international buyers and wholesalers, there were a lot of Italian retailers” stated Giovanni Tricca, the President of Arezzo Fairs & Trade Show.
In close collaboration with COLLECTION, a delegation of sixty buyers visited the show attending from different countries of the Middle East, the Gulf and North Africa. “We were delighted to attend OroArezzo and this visit enabled us to create business relations with at least fifteen companies, nine of them will be soon delivering our first orders.” stated Mr. Sadik Kosucuoglu from Orotalia, Istanbul. Visiting from Saudi Arabia, Mr. Ahmed Al Ammari said: “
Besides the quality of Italian goldsmith products proposed at the jewellery halls, the cutting-edge techniques at the machinery hall, OroArezzo is always though after for the creativity and avant-garde ideas of its exhibits; 2013 edition was no difference as it proposed a lot of trends expected to conquer the international markets in the coming seasons; earrings with fabrics of old Japanese kimonos, jewels with beetles which recall the ancient Egypt, necklaces with small screens which remember the great personalities of the ’60s… are some of the suggestions of the 34th edition of OroArezzo.
In their endeavor to create business contacts between supply and demand, and to give all the participating companies the opportunity to achieve the best results, the show created two initiatives dedicated to bijoux and fashion jewels: Bi-Jewel and Cash&Carry. These initiatives were viewed as excellent solutions for today’s economical situation, appreciated by both exhibitors and buyers.
