T.GOLD Debuts In September: Hall 4 Becomes Vicenzaoro’s New Technological Innovation Hub
The first September edition of T. Gold, the international exhibition dedicated to jewellery and gold processing technologies, will take place from 4 to 8 September 2026 alongside Vicenzaoro September. The event will debut in its new home at Hall 4 of the Vicenza Expo Centre, following the completion of redevelopment works undertaken by Italian Exhibition Group (IEG).
T.Gold continues to evolve as a leading international platform for technological innovation, machinery, and advanced manufacturing solutions for the gold, jewellery, and watchmaking sectors. By moving into Hall 4, the event will, for the first time, be fully integrated within the IEG Expo Centre, enabling complete alignment with Vicenzaoro in both its January and September editions.

The new location reinforces the connection between production, design, and technology, positioning innovation as a strategic enabler of creativity and manufacturing excellence. Vicenzaoro thus further consolidates its role as a comprehensive hub representing the entire jewellery supply chain under one roof.
With participation from more than 170 international companies, T.Gold remains the foremost showcase for technologies driving competitiveness across the jewellery industry. Key themes include sustainability, precious metal recovery, advanced quality control, process automation, reduced time-to-market, and new creative possibilities for designers and manufacturers.
The event targets decision-makers from across the global value chain, including production and R&D managers, CEOs, manufacturing entrepreneurs, sustainability leaders, refinery and foundry operators, specialist workshops, 3D designers, technology distributors, and high-end jewellery retailers.
Leading International Machinery Companies to Exhibit
The exhibition will feature some of the world’s most prominent technology providers, offering visitors a rare opportunity to experience live machinery demonstrations.
Among the leading Italian participants are Sisma, Fasti, and Orotig for industrial goldsmithing technologies and laser systems; DWS and Legor Group for additive manufacturing; Ikoi and Tera Automation for industrial automation; and Italimpianti Orafi, Progold, and Germany’s Helmut Fischer for plant engineering, alloys, and quality control.
International exhibitors include Willemin-Macodel and Starrag Vuadens from Switzerland for high-precision machining; Indutherm and Lampert Werktechnik from Germany for casting and micro-welding technologies; Ransom & Randolph from the United States for micro-casting materials; and Asian technology companies such as Aczet and Flashforge 3D Technology.
Sustainability and circular economy solutions will also take centre stage through technologies developed by B.T.T. Italia, Balestri Technologies, and Eurotecniche, focusing on precious metal recovery, refining, and industrial waste treatment.
Additive Manufacturing at the Heart of the Jewellery Technology Forum
One of the event’s principal attractions will be the T.Gold Smart Hub, a newly created events area located at the centre of Hall 4.
On 7 September, the hub will host the Jewellery Technology Forum, which celebrates its 21st anniversary this year. The Forum will evolve into a dedicated platform exploring Additive Manufacturing for the jewellery and luxury sectors, bringing together experts from research, industry, and design.
Through presentations, case studies, and discussions led by international specialists and key opinion leaders, the programme will examine how additive technologies are reshaping both creative processes and manufacturing models across the luxury landscape.
Strategic Partnerships Drive International Growth
T.Gold’s position as a cornerstone of technological innovation within the jewellery sector is further reinforced through its renewed three-year partnership with AFEMO, the Jewellery Machinery Manufacturers and Exporters Association.
Its collaboration with ICE Meccanica continues to support targeted international buyer programmes designed to attract decision-makers, industry leaders, and buyers from both established export destinations and emerging production markets with strong growth potential.
Technology as the Engine of the Jewellery Supply Chain
With an increasingly integrated international technology offering, stronger industrial collaborations, and a dedicated focus on Additive Manufacturing, T.Gold reaffirms its status as the leading innovation platform serving the global jewellery and watchmaking industry.
The relocation from Hall 9, previously located outside the Expo Centre, to Hall 4 forms part of IEG’s €60 million self-financed infrastructure expansion programme, which will also see the inauguration of the new Hall 2 in September.
Commenting on the development, Matteo Farsura, Global Exhibition Manager of the Jewellery & Fashion Division at IEG, said:

With this edition, T.Gold is taking a decisive step towards further growth. Its move into IEG’s Expo Centre and total integration with Vicenzaoro will strengthen the role of technology as a driving force behind the jewellery supply chain’s evolution and expand business opportunities, contributing to the development of an industry that must constantly adapt to rapidly changing markets. It is not just a question of machinery, but also of expertise, research, and innovation that will secure the sector’s future.”

Sabyasachi, The Metropolitan Museum Of Art Partnered For A Multi-Year Collaboration
The Line Bridges Historic Met Artifacts With Modern Luxury, Weaving Human Themes Of Love, Mortality, and Family Into Extravagant High Jewelry.
Nearly two decades after making his New York runway debut, renowned Indian designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee is set to return to New York Fashion Week on September 15, 2026, unveiling the first chapter of a multi-year collaboration with The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met).
The partnership will debut with an exclusive six-piece high jewellery collection inspired by the museum’s extraordinary holdings of art, sculpture and material culture. The collection reflects Sabyasachi’s belief that history is not static, but continues to evolve as it travels across cultures and generations.



Comprising three necklaces, two wrist cuffs and a pair of earrings, the collection draws from Byzantine and Roman influences while translating historic iconography into contemporary luxury. Crafted in 18k and 22k gold, the pieces feature round brilliant-cut diamonds alongside jade, tourmaline, lapis lazuli, jasper and onyx.
The designs take inspiration from Imperial Roman statuary, ancient medallions and religious artefacts housed in The Met. Among the standout creations is a pendant necklace based on an Imperial Roman marble sculpture depicting a family, inspired by a 2nd–3rd century CE Roman funerary relief from Thrace. Another notable piece is an asymmetrical tiger-claw necklace influenced by the intricate decoration of a 12th-century casket.
Rather than simply recreating historical objects, Sabyasachi reinterprets them through the lens of modern high jewellery, weaving universal themes such as love, mortality and family into each creation.


The New York presentation marks the beginning of a long-term creative dialogue between Sabyasachi and The Met, bringing together Indian design sensibilities and one of the world’s most celebrated museum collections in a collaboration that bridges heritage, craftsmanship and contemporary luxury.
