A Unified Vision: The Evolution of Vicenzaoro's Boutique Show Concept

Vicenzaoro is returning to the Vicenza Expo Centre from September 4th to 8th, 2026, introducing an innovative layout that seamlessly incorporates T.Gold, VO Vintage, and the CIBJO Congress, which will celebrate its centennial at this prestigious event. This edition marks a significant milestone with the inauguration of the new Hall 2, completing the objective of presenting the entire jewelry supply chain under one roof. From exquisite high jewelry and manufacturing processes to white-label products, components, semi-finished goods, precious stones, cutting-edge technologies, packaging solutions, and retail services, every segment of the supply chain will be showcased within a unified international marketplace, fostering innovation, expertise, and unparalleled business prospects.

Strengthening the Industry's Core: The Enhanced Jewelry Boutique Show

This development reinforces the trade show's unique 'The Jewelry Boutique Show' model, which has transformed Vicenzaoro into a global benchmark for the jewelry sector over the years. This substantial investment supports the event's continuous growth, providing an even more effective platform for 1,300 exhibiting brands from 38 countries, alongside buyers and industry experts from over 130 nations, as well as associations, institutions, international organizations, and media. Vicenza remains the premier destination for networking, discussions, and commercial ventures.

Optimized Layout: Interconnected Communities for a Seamless Experience

The updated layout is designed to enhance Vicenzaoro's distinctive format, which clusters specialized communities of carefully selected companies representing every aspect of the jewelry industry.
