Editor’s Note
This dispatch from the VicenzaOro January show captures the early-year optimism in the global jewelry sector, highlighting robust international attendance and a focus on innovation and education.
It’s only February, and JCK editors have already attended the VicenzaOro show in Vicenza, Italy, among other major jewelry events. The January edition (held from January 17–21) featured 1,300 brands and visitors from 145 countries, creating a buzzy and optimistic atmosphere filled with buyers, educational seminars, and attendees seeking new and exciting jewelry.
We discovered Peruffo’s stretchy Blocks collection this year and were especially taken with this super-wearable signet-style 18k gold and diamond ring. It’s designed to be versatile for both men and women.
Inspired by the olive tree, the twisty Ulivo collection is made entirely in 18k rose gold, with and without diamonds. Chiarelli Milano has achieved a perfect shade of rose gold that looks wonderfully warm on any skin tone.
These earrings feature rose-cut lab-grown diamonds. Oscar Massin has been using LGDs since the heritage French brand’s revival in 2022, and these pieces represent a perfect blend of vintage style and modern technology.
This design features a ring intended to be worn on a necklace. Both Picchiotti’s baguette diamond and emerald drop and the sapphire pendant detach, allowing you to set the 9.57 ct. Sri Lankan “Royal Blue” oval sapphire with a baguette diamond halo into a separate 18k white gold ring setting.
These doublet and triplet rings feature stones layered with rock crystal and, in one case, rock crystal and mother-of-pearl. Nanis explained the inspiration comes from La Dolce Vita and Italian drinks of the 1960s.
The Cortile collection pays homage to Italy’s courtyards. This 18k white gold and diamond bracelet, with its interlocking shapes and almost haphazard connections, perfectly captures the country’s centuries-old stonework.
These Giove (Jupiter) pieces from Tavanti are topped by a cluster of diamonds evoking a starlit night, featuring a high-polish finish.
This super-chunky reversible chain bracelet features solid silver on one side and blue enamel on the other, offering two looks in one piece.
The Golestan Palace ring is an intricate piece. The top—a stunning carved emerald set in flawless turquoise—pops open to reveal a chain with seven miniature Persian enamel rugs that fold up and rest on a throne, showcasing the designer’s narrative approach to jewelry.
