T.GOLD Debuts In September: Hall 4 Becomes Vicenzaoro’s New Technological Innovation Hub

Published

on

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.”

BDB Committee Hosts Consul General of Italy at Bourse; Discussions Focus On Boosting Trade Between The Two Countries

Published

on

  • Partnership between Europe’s Leading Jewellery Hub and World’s Largest Diamond Manufacturer will be mutually beneficial
  • BDB requests modifications in Italy’s VAT Policy: Collection at Point of Sale Rather than Point of Import

The senior leadership of Bharat Diamond Bourse (BDB) welcomed H.E. Mr. Walter Ferrara, Consul General of Italy in Mumbai, on his visit to the BDB complex on June 30 to discuss opportunities for strengthening cooperation between India and Italy in the diamond and jewellery sector.

The BDB was represented by President Anoop Mehta, Vice President Mehul N. Shah, Honorary Joint Secretary Prakash Shah, and Committee Members Kiran K. Gandhi, Milan K. Parikh, Paresh Mehta, and Ramniklal Shah.

India and Italy both enjoy unique positions in the global diamond and jewellery industry. Italy is known for its exquisite jewellery and exceptional craftsmanship. It is Europe’s leading diamond and jewellery hub, and home to many renowned jewellery brands, while India is the world’s largest supplier of diamonds, including to Italy.

Business ties between the two countries have strengthened over the years, with nearly 100 Indian exhibitors participating annually in Vicenzaoro, Europe’s largest jewellery exhibition.

BDB leadership emphasised that there is enormous potential to further boost trade between the two countries, and suggested some policy reforms to help the process. They requested Italian authorities to consider shifting the collection of 18% VAT levied on loose diamonds to the point of sale rather than at the time of import.

Mehul Shah Said:

“The current system impacts the liquidity of Italian traders and hampers the cycle of trading and manufacturing. Shifting collection to the point of sale would ensure smooth tax compliance, while also enabling seamless trade between the two countries.”

The Hon’ble Consul General acknowledged the concerns raised by the BDB leadership and assured the delegation that he would ensure that their inputs were communicated to the relevant authorities. He also assured continued support to BDB members wherever required, including assistance in facilitating a faster visa process.

The visit concluded with a tour of the BDB campus and MDMA Hall, showcasing its world-class infrastructure and integrated trading ecosystem.

The interaction reaffirmed Bharat Diamond Bourse’s commitment to strengthening international partnerships and promoting constructive dialogue to support the continued growth, competitiveness, and sustainability of the global diamond and jewellery industry.
