Vicenzaoro to Highlight Latest Trends and Innovations in Jewellery
The Jewellery Boutique Show (VOS), Europe’s leading international jewellery exhibition, is set to take place from September 6th to 10th, 2024, in Vicenza, Italy. Organised by the Italian Exhibition Group (IEG), this flagship event will host over 1,200 exhibitors, drawing buyers and visitors from more than 130 countries. As a global platform, Vicenzaoro will present the latest trends, innovations, and craftsmanship shaping the jewellery industry. This event is not only a showcase of luxury and creativity but also a crucial meeting point for industry professionals seeking to drive business forward in a competitive market.
Fostering Growth in the Global Jewellery Sector
VOS will encompass the entire jewellery and contemporary watchmaking supply chain, which generated approximately €725 billion in global revenues in 2023. Industry analysts project a further 5% growth by 2030, driven by emerging markets such as India and China. This growth underscores the increasing demand for luxury goods and fine jewellery in these regions, as well as the global shift towards unique, high-quality, and sustainable products.
The exhibition will feature a broad range of industry segments, including fine jewellery, gold manufacturing, wristwatches, components, gems, diamonds, and packaging. It will also provide an exclusive look into the technological advancements that are redefining production processes, such as 3D printing, laser cutting, and smart materials. Attendees will gain early insights into the trends anticipated to dominate store windows in 2025, making VOS a critical event for industry stakeholders looking to stay ahead of the curve. With its comprehensive offerings, Vicenzaoro serves as a barometer for the jewellery industry’s future, guiding professionals in making informed business decisions.
Strategic Expansion and Modernisation
In celebration of its 70th anniversary, Vicenzaoro continues to advance as a key venue for business development, networking, and knowledge sharing. To support its expansion, IEG has initiated a significant renewal project at the Vicenza exhibition centre, set for completion in 2026. This development will replace the historic Halls 2 and 5 with a new 22,000-square-metre hall spread across two floors. This strategic upgrade is part of IEG’s commitment to enhancing the exhibition’s infrastructure, ensuring it remains capable of hosting an ever-growing number of exhibitors and visitors.
The new facilities will feature state-of-the-art amenities, including advanced lighting, climate control, and digital integration, aimed at providing an improved experience for all attendees. This renewal project is not only a testament to Vicenzaoro’s commitment to maintaining its leadership in the industry but also a reflection of the event’s role in driving innovation and growth within the global jewellery market.
Focus on Trends
A major highlight of VOS will be the world premiere of the Trendbook 2026+, offering valuable insights into the future directions of the jewellery market. This publication is widely regarded as an essential resource for industry professionals, providing forecasts on consumer preferences, material innovations, and design trends that will shape the next generation of jewellery collections. The Trendbook’s unveiling at Vicenzaoro underscores the event’s status as a trendsetter in the global market.
Furthermore, from September 6th to 8th, the exhibition will feature VO’Clock Privé, a free-entry public segment dedicated to contemporary watchmaking. This part of the event will include the latest industry news, expert talks, and technical seminars, catering to a growing community of watch enthusiasts.
