(PRESS RELEASE) RIMINI/VICENZA (ITALY) – Passing of the baton within Italian Exhibition Group (IEG), Jewellery & Fashion Division.

While the Global Exhibition Director of the Jewellery & Fashion division, Marco Carniello, takes on the role of Chief Business Oﬃcer at the helm of IEG’s new Business Division that will coordinate all the industries headed by the exhibition player, Matteo Farsura, former Exhibition Manager of Vicenzaoro, will take over the lead of the Jewellery & Fashion Division.

As Global Exhibition Manager, Farsura will manage the shows on IEG’s Jewellery Agenda: in Italy Vicenzaoro, Oroarezzo, T.Gold, The Italian Jewelry Summit, Valenza Gem Forum, VO’Clock Privé and VO Vintage as well as the JGTD and SIJE in Dubai and Singapore respectively.

After his scientific studies, a degree in Business Administration at the Cà Foscari University in Venice, and an MBA from the CUOA Foundation with the US University of Michigan Dearborn (International Program), he developed managerial skills in the luxury and event organiZation fields, working – among others – for a leading Italian fashion jewelry company, and drawing inspiration from the values of sport he gained from his consolidated experience in rugby both as a player and a coach.

She Wanted to Spend More Time with Her Kids. She Called Wilkerson.

Your children are precious. More precious than gold? Absolutely! Just ask Lesley Ann Davis, owner of Lesley Ann Jewels, an independent jewelry store that — until the end of 2023 — had quite a following in Houston, Texas. To spend more time with her four sons, all in high school, she decided to close her store. Luckily, she was familiar with Wilkerson and called them as soon as she knew she wanted to move on to bigger, better and more family-focused things. Was she happy with her decision? Yes, she was. Says Davis, “Any owner looking to make that life change, looking to retire, looking to close, looking for a pause in their career, I would recommend Wilkerson. Hands down!”
