Vicenzaoro January 2025, the event of reference for the global jewellery industry and the starting point of the sector’s global calendar. The edition not only confirmed last year’s exceptional numbers, it also touched the international dimension record: in fact, foreign visitation – greater than that of Italians – reached the extraordinary participation number of 145 countries from all over the world , with Turkey, the United States, Germany, Spain and Greece in the lead and interesting increases in countries such as North Korea and Australia.

“We have won the internationality challenge,” commented Corrado Peraboni, CEO of Italian Exhibition Group, in regard to Vicenzaoro January 2025. “Several years ago, we decided to develop our leading products abroad. A successful strategy that has decisively increased foreign visitation at our most important events in Italy.”

Matteo Farsura, head of IEG’s gold and jewellery division , underlined: “With 1,300 brands and the involvement of the entire jewellery supply chain, from technologies to haute joaillerie, Vicenzaoro confirms its position as a global platform of reference, favoring dialogue among the different segments to meet the needs of the various markets. In parallel, with the involvement of 650 young students on the opening day and further in-depth discussions within the full program, together with the main trade associations, the centrality of training and generational turnover was reaffirmed.»

A sector that, in the specifics of Made in Italy, is continuing its positive trend: in the first 10 months of 2024, the jewellery industry’s revenues were up 5.8% (Istat data) with exports more dynamic than the domestic market (+7.2% vs +3.0%).

Thanks to the development of tailor-made contents in a highly energetic atmosphere and to an elegant and distinctive look & feel, the sector’s community perceives Vicenzaoro as a fundamental reference point for the development of business, relations and knowledge. Just think of the authoritative look at the future through Trendvision Jewellery + Forecasting, IEG’s independent observatory, of the topics connected to technology and ESG at the center of debate with events organized by CIBJO and the Jewellery Technology Forum promoted by Legor, prior to September’s debut of The Vicenza Symposium, an international scientific event on the theme of technologies, metals and urgencies that link jewellery and fashion.

Vicenzaoro was held in conjunction with T.Gold, which showcased the excellence of the sector’s technologies (a T.Gold that, thanks to the Expo Centre’s expansion, will be staged inside the Vicenzaoro areas as of the second half of 2026), and VO Vintage, the fine vintage watch show, and the collaboration with Vicenza Municipality at VIOFF, the experiential off-show event that involved guests from all over the world: offer completeness, business centrality and global media resonance once again made this event the beating heart of world jewellery and goldsmithing.

A “rhythm” of business and innovation that never stops but continues for twelve months a year in a unicum of Italian Exhibition Group appointments and jewellery & fashion projects all over the world. IEG’s agenda will see OROAREZZO in May, SIJE in Singapore in July, Vicenzaoro September at the end of the summer (and the return of VO’Clock Privé) preceded by the new Vicenza Symposium, the Valenza Jem Forum in October, JGTD Dubai in November, and the Italian Jewellery Summit in Arezzo in December.

IEG thanks all the companies that contributed to the success of Vicenzaoro January 2025. And all the partners: the Ministry of Enterprise and Made in Italy, ITA – the Agency for the promotion and internationalisation of Italian companies abroad, Confindustria Federorafi, Confartigianato Orafi, Confcommercio Federpreziosi, CNA Orafi, Club degli Orafi Italy, Confimi Industria Gold and Silversmith Category, Assogemme, Assocoral andAFEMO – Italian Association of Jewellery Machinery Manufacturers and Exporters.

Retirement can be a great part of life. As Nanji Singadia puts it, “I want to retire and enjoy my life. I’m 78 now and I just want to take a break.” That said, Nanji decided that the best way to move ahead was to contact the experts at Wilkerson. He chose them because he knew that closing a store is a heavy lift. To maximize sales and move on to the next, best chapter of his life, he called Wilkerson—but not before asking his industry friends for their opinion. He found that Wilkerson was the company most recommended and says their professionalism, experience and the homework they did before the launch all helped to make his going out of business sale a success. “Wilkerson were working on the sale a month it took place,” he says. “They did a great job.”
