From 16 to 20 January 2026, Vicenza once again asserts its position as the beating heart of the global jewellery industry. Vicenzaoro January (VOJ) will open the international calendar at the Italian Exhibition Group’s Expo Centre, presenting a refined vision of the Jewellery Boutique Show as a commercial benchmark and cultural meeting point for the sector.
Anchored by its new claim, People · Product · Places, VOJ puts product at its core. High jewellery, contemporary design, fine watchmaking, semi-finished goods, precious stones and advanced technologies converge in a carefully curated showcase of Made in Italy mastery and international savoir-faire. It is here that brands unveil previews, launches, and new stylistic and technical directions to buyers from five continents, with the added immediacy of Palakiss cash-and-carry, enabling on-the-spot purchases.
Equally central are People — the designers, artisans, manufacturers, buyers and opinion leaders whose relationships and shared expertise drive the sector’s evolution. Over five days, Vicenzaoro becomes a global think tank, animated by talks, technical seminars and industry-led discussions. Highlights include Trendvision Jewellery + Forecasting, Vicenzaoro’s independent observatory on global jewellery trends, alongside CIBJO-led seminars that delve into standards, ethics and innovation.
The third pillar, Places, extends beyond the fairgrounds. The Expo Centre, the city of Vicenza and its surrounding manufacturing districts form a symbolic and physical landscape where heritage and contemporary vision intersect. This dialogue continues across the city through Vicenzaoro VIOFF, an off-show programme celebrating Italian lifestyle through art, culture, gastronomy and design. At the same time, the Jewellery Museum enriches the experience with a new exhibition hosted inside the UNESCO-listed Basilica Palladiana.
Among the most anticipated novelties of 2026 is the debut of the VO Awards. Designed to celebrate excellence in creativity, craftsmanship, sustainability, and innovation, the awards will spotlight exhibitors who can advance the sector’s technical and stylistic horizons.
Completing the experience, T.Gold returns for its final edition in Hall 9 ahead of its integration into the fully renovated Expo Centre, while VO Vintage welcomes collectors and enthusiasts from 16 to 19 January with a curated marketplace of fine vintage jewellery and watches.
With enhanced digital tools, tailored buyer services and an ever more immersive city-wide programme, Vicenzaoro January 2026 offers not merely a trade fair, but a refined destination where business, culture, and Italian lifestyle meet.
