Sold-Out VicenzaOro Show to Take on Gold, Diamond Prices

By Karen Dybis | January 06, 2026

The first high jewelry event on 2026’s international trade show calendar, VicenzaOro will highlight trends for the year ahead in jewelry and watches, says organizer Matteo Farsura, head of Italian Exhibition Group (IEG), the show’s organizer.

VicenzaOro runs Jan. 16 to 20 in Vicenza, Italy, alongside two other IEG shows—VO Vintage, the business-to-consumer marketplace for vintage jewelry and watches, and T.Gold, an exhibition for jewelry technology and innovation.

Farsura says VicenzaOro is sold out for exhibitors, with 1,300 brands from across the jewelry supply chain coming to the Vicenza Expo Centre.

“It offers a unique, comprehensive vision of the sector, including new designs, product previews, and collection launches by leading Made in Italy brands and international excellence,” he says.

“It is the only event to represent the entire jewelry supply chain in one place, from raw materials to finished products, from high-end jewelry to gemstones, diamonds, and the most advanced machinery and technologies,” Farsura adds. “It is a true ecosystem where people, product, and places come together.”

Planned exhibitors include Italian companies such as Roberto Coin, Damiani, Crivelli, Fope, Cammilli, Nanis, and Demeglio. Brands from other countries include Germany’s Schreiner, Ukraine’s Lobortas Classic Jewellery House, and Spain’s Carrera y Carrera.

The event will feature the debut of the VO Awards—celebrating excellence in creativity, manufacturing, vision, and innovation—and an expanded program of talks and seminars, Farsura says.

Diamond industry commentator Martin Rapaport is scheduled to lead a Jan. 16 seminar in the Jewellery Industry Voices series, organized by the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations and CIBJO (World Jewellery Confederation). Additional CIBJO seminars will cover key topics such as sustainability, artificial intelligence, traceability, and regulatory compliance along the supply chain.

A key economy-driven talk on Jan. 16 is titled “Precious Metals in the Trump Era: The Comeback of Traditional ‘Hard Assets,'” which will look at the rising gold price and how it is affecting international businesses and the jewelry industry specifically.

Another annual highlight of VicenzaOro, Trendvision Jewellery + Forecasting, will take place Jan. 17, with its high-level market analysis of what’s to come in jewelry over the next one to five years, Farsura says.

This month’s VicenzaOro is the last to be held in the current iteration of the expo center. The September 2026 edition, which is scheduled for Sept. 4 through 8, will inaugurate a new layout for VicenzaOro, including the opening of Hall 2.

“This will be the last transitory edition,” says Farsura. “The new, almost completed, central hall will give VicenzaOro the new home that this industry deserves.”

Ultimately, the show’s goal is to ensure that all professionals can fully seize the business opportunities VicenzaOro offers, says Farsura. Participants also can go off-site to experience Vicenza’s cultural gems, including the jewelry museum inside the UNESCO-listed Basilica Palladiana.

“VicenzaOro confirms itself as a global reference platform and a cultural and professional ecosystem where the future of jewelry takes shape through personal connections and meaningful interactions,” Farsura says.
