Vicenzaoro September Trade Fair Shines with Exceptional Jewels
The 2025 Vicenzaoro September jewelry trade fair, held in Vicenza, Italy, concluded on a high note with a modest 2-year-on-year increase, according to the Italian Exhibition Group (IEG). The biannual event saw 60 of its over 1,200 exhibitors from Italy, while participants came from 30 countries. Approximately 650 buyers from 63 countries attended the exhibition.
"It's a testament to the enduring appeal of Vicenzaoro as a premier platform for the global jewelry industry," said an IEG spokesperson. "Our exhibitors showcased their finest creations, and we're thrilled with the response."
The fair featured a diverse array of jewels, including stunning pieces from Karen Suen, whose Paraiba Necklace wowed attendees. The necklace's vibrant colors and intricate design were met with widespread acclaim.
Vicenzaoro September is one of two trade fairs held annually in Vicenza. Its smaller size allows for more intimate interactions between exhibitors and buyers. In contrast, the January fair focuses on jewelry manufacturing equipment, attracting a different set of attendees.
Italy's reputation as a hub for high-quality jewelry production was on full display at the exhibition. The country's four main jewelry manufacturing areas – Vicenza, Milan, Turin, and Naples – contribute significantly to global trade.
The Vicenzaoro September fair is a significant event in the industry calendar, providing a platform for exhibitors to showcase their latest creations and connect with buyers from around the world. As the industry continues to evolve, events like these will remain crucial for networking, innovation, and growth.
