From 4 to 8 September 2026, Vicenzaoro returns to the Vicenza exhibition centre with a renewed exhibition layout that completes the The Jewellery Boutique Show concept. The main innovation introduced by Italian Exhibition Group is the opening of the new Hall 2, completing the expansion project launched in previous editions and becoming the new connection hub between all the exhibition communities.
Held alongside T.Gold, VO Vintage and the CIBJO Congress, which has chosen Vicenzaoro to celebrate its centenary, the 2026 edition further strengthens the event’s role as an international platform for the entire jewellery supply chain, bringing together manufacturing, high jewellery, technologies, components, packaging, services and distribution within a single marketplace.
The new Hall 2 completes Vicenzaoro’s renewed exhibition layout
The opening of the new Hall 2 marks the end of the transition period linked to the expansion works carried out over the last four editions of the exhibition. The new pavilion completes the reorganisation of the exhibition centre and reinforces the exhibition model built around the The Jewellery Boutique Show concept.
The entire jewellery supply chain is now represented in a single location, from high jewellery and manufacturing to white-label production, components, semi-finished products, gemstones, technologies, packaging and retail services. The aim is to provide exhibitors, buyers and industry professionals with a space that encourages networking, innovation and business opportunities.
The completion of the new exhibition layout supports the international growth of the event, bringing together 1,300 exhibiting brands from 38 countries, alongside buyers, trade professionals, associations, institutions, international organisations and media representatives from more than 130 countries.
The Jewellery Boutique Show organises the visitor experience through specialised communities
A defining feature of Vicenzaoro is the The Jewellery Boutique Show format, which organises exhibitors into specialised communities according to product category and market positioning.
This structure makes the visitor journey more intuitive, facilitates business matching and enables buyers to organise appointments more efficiently throughout the exhibition.
With the addition of Hall 2, all communities are now directly connected through covered walkways distributed around the four sides of the pavilion, improving circulation, accessibility and orientation throughout the exhibition centre.
Creation becomes the new international manufacturing hub in Hall 2
Developed across two levels, the new Hall 2 becomes the heart of the Creation community, dedicated to jewellery manufacturing and the production capabilities of the entire supply chain.
The area hosts companies specialising in white-label manufacturing, semi-finished products, components, mountings and clasps through Creation Mountings, alongside Creation International, bringing together manufacturers from the world’s leading jewellery districts producing gold and silver jewellery with diamonds and precious gemstones.
The central position of the new pavilion reflects the strategic importance of manufacturing within the exhibition. Exhibitors include renowned Italian companies such as Alessi, Chrysos, Karizia, Unoaerre and Giordini, together with international manufacturers including Arpas from Türkiye, Richline from the United States, and the German companies Acredo and Schofer The Chain Company.
