Gem Gossip Attends VicenzaOro September 2015 in Italy

From September 5th-9th, 2015 VicenzaOro opened its impressive doorways to much more than 20,000 buyers, push and many others in the jewelry field of more than a hundred and twenty distinct international locations and also the excitement spread all through the 4-day celebration. My first-time ever at this exhibit, I was unaware of what to anticipate and actually created sure to not analysis too much into the show so that I could expertise it as organically as is possible!

I realized rather promptly as working day 1 began by using a Press Conference held by Matteo Marzotto, President of Fiera di Vicenza and Corrado Facco, Taking care of Director of Fiera di Vicenza, articulating exactly how much of the forward-thinking tradeshow VicenzaOro is with two strategic thinkers on the helm of everything. VicenzaOro isn’t just a tradeshow-it is undoubtedly an total device consisting of a web page, social media channels, exhibit guides, an official application., newsletters, a number of seminars, workshops and exceptional functions, at the same time as conferences, network meetings, etcetera. VicenzaOro also has its own magazine, VO+, along with a department which forecasts traits referred to as TRENDVISION which not too long ago debuted a guide referred to as Trendbook 2017+ for the exhibit. The book delves into approaching jewelry traits and creates labels for different varieties of individuals in the visually sensual hardcover reserve. It’s genuinely a collector’s product and superbly performed! VicenzaOro best engagement ringshas also developed its have awards show-the Andrea Palladio Global Jewelry Awards (extra on that later on) plus a young jewelry talent contest referred to as Upcoming Jeneration. So, as you can see, Much more than just a jewelry exhibit!

The U.S. Push workforce consisting of myself, Tanya Dukes of InStore Journal, Jen C. Williams of Luxury Model Team, Natalie of Jewels du Jour, and Amanda Gizzi of Jewelers of The us invested a few entire times buzzing around the demonstrate flooring. The setup and group from the jewelry exhibit is pretty new, just released last January and characteristics 6 “communities” within just this jewelry town of a demonstrate. A wheel of colors assists signify and characterize each and every from the 6 groups-ICON, Development & LOOK (jewelry districts focusing on jewelry, both small and large companies, trendy section known as Glamroom), ESSENCE (gemstones, manufacturing, components, chains, clasps, and so forth), EXPRESSION (packaging and visual merchandising), and EVOLUTION (a place where I got lost several times).

Besides the layout, what struck me the most was walking to the display and realizing that every jewelry designer/brand has created their own miniature version of a store. Their visual branding is far far more sophisticated than any clearly show I’ve ever been to! Some designers had small windows where jewelry was displayed, and then you could walk into their booth where they had private tables/chairs set up for fashion jewelry wholesalebuyers/clients. Definitely not your average backdrop plus display case only.

Highlights on the demonstrate for me were:

Visiting the Pasquale Bruni booth and seeing the diamond crescent moon man pendant, trying on pieces from their Bon Ton collection, getting the wear the earrings that Alessandra Ambrosio recently wore the week before, and meeting Eugenia Bruni-creative director of Pasquale Bruni.

Getting to meet Beppe Callegari of Otto Jewels and seeing his comprehensive collection in person, rather than online! Such a fun up-and-coming line that is playful and affordable!

Spotting Roberto Bravo on the back cover of your VicenzaOro clearly show directory and having to find them with the show! I love their houndstooth collection which uses the technique of hot enameling with the houndstooth pattern and displaying it on multiple designs.

Falling for Vianna B.R.A.S.I.L. and her bold gemstone designs-lots of color and lots of flair. I had been bowled over by the insane necklace I tried on featuring lots of colorful tourmalines and diamonds. Her paraiba tourmaline pieces were electrifying.

Playing with the artistically enchanting and whimsical designs of Wendy Yue. Her long, finger-covering rings are what I live for!! The darkened metal also makes everything stand out.

Getting to meet Roberto Coin and work with his team taking some pictures and learning of his multiple collections. His animal pieces are insane!

Discovering Casato and getting to try on their edgy pieces-love their inspirations and every diamond piece they create! All made in Rome, Italy.

Seeing Yoko London’s game-changing use of pearls! They are taking pearls to a whole new level and it was fun getting to see and try on their creations.

Finding an Italian jeweler to make the new top-spot of my wish list: Gabriella Rivalta who hand-paints each and every piece. I want a person of her white tiger pieces!

Stopping in my tracks after seeing such a cool piece by Marco Dal Masoof Marco Ta Moko Jewelry who is redefining men’s jewelry. He has designed a lapel pin featuring an Afro Man with beads of precious stones as hair. It really is the coolest thing!
