New Technical Jewelry Symposium To Premiere At Vicenzaoro Jewelry Fair
The Science of jewelry making and adornment will be part of the September Vicenzaoro jewelry fair For the first time in its 70-year history, the Vicenzaoro jewelry trade fair will host an adjacent gathering dedicated to metallurgy and jewelry manufacturing processes. Called the Vicenza Symposium, it will be held September 2 -4 Vicenza, Italy, prior to Vicenzaoro on September 5 -7. Both events are B2B focused, open only to the jewelry trade. The Vicenza Symposium is modeled after the Santa Fe Symposium with the objective of advancing jewelry making technology, the science of adornment if you will. The three-day event is modeled after the Santa Fe Symposium, founded in 1987 by Eddie Bell, the retired CEO of Rio Grande, an Albuquerque, N.M., company the manufactures, markets and sells jewelry-making supplies. He held his last symposium in 2022 following his retirement. By this time, it was the world's most important event on the technology and science of metallurgy and jewelry making, attracting professionals from around the world. This new event is an attempt to maintain the community that Bell established. In fact, Bell was named honorary president and will deliver opening remarks. There will be 21 white papers delivered during the three-day event on artificial intelligence, 3D printing and other highly technical topics. Presentations will range from 'Gold in the Age of SLM-CNC Interface,' and 'Cracks, pores and other defects in jewellery – their causes and their prevention' to 'Potential of Pt-and-pd-based Bulk Metallic Glasses for Jewellery applications.' It is fitting that it's established the Italian gold jewelry center of Vicenza, known as much for the technology of goldsmithing and jewelry making as well as it is for manufacturing jewels in the tradition of Italian design and style.

The revival of the historic Marina B jewelry brand will also be a focus of the show. The fair attracts important jewelers from Europe and other parts of the world as well including Schreiner Fine Jewellery from Germany, Fabergé from the UK, Etho Maria from Greece, Carrera Y Carrera from Spain, and Statement Paris and D1928 from France. Outside Europe, the Australian pearl jewelry company, Autore, will present its new high jewelry and fine jewelry designs. One of the returning features of Vicenzaoro is 'The Design Room,' for independent high-end designers. This is one of the very few international venues where these designers can have a proper place to show their creations as most international jewelry shows focus on large manufacturers. These designers reinterpret jewelry with unique and exclusive creations. Among the best-known names are Alessio Boschi, whose creations combine culture, history and architecture; Mike Joseph, who focuses of geometric design studded with diamonds; Antonini Milano for lovers of pure yet structured lines; and Karen Suen who combines modern glam with classic jewelry techniques. In addition, there's 'The 8' project, a creation of Boschi, fellow jewelry designers Alessia Crivelli and Luca Daverio, and the goldsmith foundation, Mani Intelligenti. The project promotes new Italian and international jewelry talents. There's also a specific space for the watchmaking brands and accessories, a growing sector of the trade fair with more than 40 exhibitors. All totaled the September Vicenzaoro jewelry trade fair is expected to attract more than 450 buyers from 60 countries who will view the products and services of approximately 1,200 exhibitors from 35 countries. In its 70th year, Vicenzaoro claims to be the world's longest-running jewelry trade event. Vicenzaoro is held twice each year. Following the September show the next fair will be held January 16 – 20, 2026. Vicenzaoro and the Vicenza Symposium is owned and operated by the Italian Exhibition Group (IEG), an international trade show company based in Rimini, Italy.
