Being one of the world’s leading luxury destinations, it only seemed natural for Dubai to host it’s own brand new jewellery super show. Vicenzaoro Dubai premiered at the Dubai World Trade Centre to more than 6,000 local, regional and international visitors and major buyers from over 110 countries.
Organized by DV Global Link, which is a joint venture between Fiera di Vicenza and the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), the show ran from April 23 to 26 and showcased more than 500 top brands from over 25 countries across four categories that included Global Brands, Fine Jewellery & National Pavilions, Gemstones & Diamonds, and Packaging & Supply.
One of the show’s standout events was the “Italian Beauty” exhibit, which was organized by Vicenzaoro Dubai in partnership with the Italian Trade Promotion Agency (ICE) and boasted stunning contemporary Italian jewellery with Giorgio Starace, the Italian Ambassadoer to the UAE, in attendance.
“In line with our expectations, the debut of Vicenzaoro Dubai achieved very positive results,” says Corrado Facco, vice chairman of DV Global Link and managing director of Fiera di Vicenza. “Despite unfavourable economic circumstances and geopolitical contexts in notable major markets for the global jewellery industry, the success of the inaugural event has strengthened our resolve to continue expanding the show over the next few years – especially in tactical capacity areas such as high-end consumption and luxury product absorption.” CJ
