jewellery: bright materials, crystals, stones, textures. Iridescent elements that master goldsmiths shape into reflections of emotions, personality and style. This is how the 34th edition of Première sees jewellery: contemporary design combined with the heritage of made-in-Italy jewellery tradition, objects that change with the body’s movements. The contest at Oroarezzo, the show organised by Italian Exhibition Group scheduled to take place from 10th to 13th May at Arezzo Fiere e Congressi in the Italian city of Arezzo – Tuscany, celebrates the productive and creative excellence of Made in Italy in the gold, silver and jewellery sector. The unique items manufactured by the companies taking part in the competition will be displayed in two large showcases at the centre of the “Chimera” hall during the days of the event. The theme of the 2025 edition is “mirror of time” . Third edition for the “Talents” category specifically for young students from Italian goldsmith schools and designers under 30.
Time is an ever-changing reflection» says Beppe Angiolini , Art Director of Oroarezzo and chairman of the jury, «and jewellery becomes its witness. Every reflection contains an emotion, every light tells a story where jewellery not only shines, but also expresses an infinite beauty that multiplies in every mirror. A glamorous theme that plays on the contrast between fashion and the lustre of reflections. A theme on the art of reflection, exploring how jewellery not only “reflects” light, but also emotions, personality and style. The concept of “mirror of time” is based on the idea that jewellery is not just a precious object but also a memory keeper. Each reflection is a fragment of life».
Première welcomes visitors to Oroarezzo in the true sense of the word», says Matteo Farsura , manager in charge of IEG’s Jewellery & Fashion division, «with all the creativity of Italian goldsmithing. The exhibiting companies’ fondness for the competition is proof of the deep bond between the event and its manufacturing district. And it is also the crowning glory of a complete offer that can be found in the halls of Arezzo Fiere e Congressi: from white label production to machinery and packaging, at Oroarezzo the market can customise objects and collections, counting on made-in-Italy goldsmithing’s ability to unite quality and creativity. Like the unique pieces of Première. Our “Talents” category encourages young aspiring designers, putting them in contact with the business world: the winner will see his project produced in time for the Italian Jewellery Summit in December, thanks to collaboration with local partner companies»
Against a backdrop of mounting trade challenges, India’s gem and jewellery exporters gathered in Jaipur for the International Gem & Jewellery Show (IGJS) 2025, an exclusive export-focused event organized by the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC). Held from April 3 to 5, the show drew 50 of India’s leading exporters and more than 180 international buyers from 28 countries, reinforcing Jaipur’s status as a pivotal hub in the global jewellery trade.
The show, hosted at the Novotel Jaipur Exhibition and Convention Centre, spotlighted the city’s long-standing reputation for integrated craftsmanship — where stone-cutting and jewellery manufacturing coexist within the same business ecosystem. For many international buyers, this “one-stop-shop” model remains a key draw.
Still, the atmosphere wasn’t without tension. The recent imposition of U.S. tariffs — ranging between 26% and 27% on Indian jewellery exports — loomed large over business discussions. Exporters expressed concern over the long-term implications for price-sensitive markets like the United States, which has traditionally been a top destination for Indian jewellery.
“Tariffs were the biggest talking point on the floor,” said one Jaipur-based exporter. “We’re now discussing cost-sharing models with our U.S. partners, looking to absorb the blow across the supply chain — from exporters to retailers to end consumers.”
Repeat buyers remained a bright spot, with several exhibitors reporting continued interest and steady orders from long-standing clients. But many acknowledged a pressing need to attract larger retail chain buyers, particularly as global trade routes shift.
In response to the evolving trade landscape, exporters are eyeing alternative markets such as Dubai and Saudi Arabia, regions with strong demand and more favorable trade terms. Industry stakeholders also pointed to the India-Australia Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (ECTA) as a promising channel for diversifying export destinations.
Despite challenges, the sentiment remained broadly optimistic. The GJEPC announced plans to significantly scale the show in 2026, targeting over 500 global buyers and more than 150 exhibitors, a move intended to elevate the show’s global standing and deepen its influence in the international marketplace.
At its core, IGJS Jaipur 2025 underscored themes of resilience, adaptability, and strategic collaboration — with industry players focused on navigating shifting trade dynamics while continuing to showcase the strength of Indian craftsmanship.
