Vicenzaoro September 2026 Dates and Venue
Vicenzaoro September runs from Friday 4 September to Tuesday 8 September 2026 at Fiera di Vicenza.
The exhibition is open from 10:00 to 18:30 from Friday through Monday. On Tuesday, the final day, it closes at 17:00. Visitors arranging several supplier meetings should avoid leaving important appointments until Tuesday because of the earlier closing time.

About the Exhibition
What Is Vicenzaoro September?
Vicenzaoro is a trade exhibition serving the international gold, jewellery and watchmaking industries. Its September edition marks the restart of the European jewellery calendar after the summer period and gives buyers an opportunity to refresh collections, plan purchases and prepare for the holiday season.
The organiser presents more than 1,300 exhibitors across the jewellery supply chain. The exhibition covers high-end and contemporary jewellery, unbranded production, diamonds and coloured gemstones, mountings, semi-finished components, packaging, visual merchandising, watches and manufacturing technology.
Its location in Vicenza gives the event a strong connection to Italian goldsmithing and jewellery production. International buyers can examine finished collections while also meeting businesses involved in the materials, components and technologies used to manufacture them.
What to Source
What Jewellery Buyers Can Source at Vicenzaoro 2026
Vicenzaoro divides its offering into specialised communities and curated exhibition areas. This helps professional visitors focus on the products and suppliers relevant to their businesses. The main sourcing categories include:
The ESSENCE Gems, Diamonds, Corals & Pearls area is particularly relevant to diamond and gemstone buyers. Manufacturers may also benefit from visiting CREATION Mountings & Semi-Finished and the integrated T.Gold technology exhibition.
Meet Uniglo Diamonds
Meet Uniglo Diamonds at Vicenzaoro September 2026
Professional buyers can meet Uniglo Diamonds in Hall 3, Stand 136 to discuss natural-diamond sourcing requirements directly with the Antwerp team.
The discussion can begin with an individual centre stone, a matched pair, calibrated diamonds for manufacturing or a broader requirement for a retail or wholesale assortment.
Submitting this information before the exhibition gives the team time to understand the requirement and prepare a more relevant meeting.

Diamond Sourcing for European Jewellery Businesses
European jewellery businesses often require diamonds for established product ranges, Italian-made settings, private-label collections, bridal lines and bespoke commissions. Each use creates different commercial and technical requirements.
A retailer preparing a bridal range may need individually documented centre stones across several recognisable shapes and price positions. A manufacturer may require calibrated diamonds with measurements compatible with an existing mounting. A wholesaler may need commercially relevant specifications for customers operating across several European markets.
The September timing is especially relevant to businesses finalising production and inventory for Christmas, New Year and the following bridal season.
Sourcing decisions may need to consider:
- Compatibility with existing mountings
- Metric measurements and production tolerances
- Consistency across matched or multi-stone jewellery
- Availability for repeat production
- Documentation required by the intended market
- Target retail and wholesale price positions
- Delivery schedules for European manufacturing
- Balance between core and distinctive diamond shapes
- Replacement requirements for continuing designs
Uniglo Diamonds evaluates a sourcing request according to how the diamond will be set, manufactured, positioned and sold — not only according to the grades printed on a report.
Diamond Shapes
Natural Diamond Shapes for European Markets
Diamond-shape preferences vary between countries, retailers, price categories and customer groups.
Round Brilliant diamonds remain important for engagement rings, diamond earrings, tennis jewellery and classic fine-jewellery designs. Oval, Pear and Marquise diamonds provide elongated outlines and can create a different face-up appearance.
Emerald and Asscher cuts offer step-cut faceting and a more architectural character. Cushion and Radiant diamonds combine distinctive outlines with stronger brilliance, while Princess-cut diamonds may suit square and geometric jewellery designs. Heart-shaped diamonds can support romantic, gifting and highly personalised pieces.
Rather than treating every shape as suitable for every market, buyers should consider how the diamond will work with the setting, collection identity, customer preference and intended price position.
Availability varies, so buyers should provide both preferred specifications and acceptable alternatives.
- Round Brilliant
- Oval
- Emerald
- Pear
- Princess
- Cushion
- Radiant
- Marquise
- Heart
- Asscher
Measurements and Proportions
Diamond Measurements, Proportions and Appearance
Carat weight is important, but it does not provide a complete picture of a polished diamond.
Two diamonds with the same stated weight may have different measurements, outlines and face-up appearances. This is particularly relevant for fancy-shaped diamonds, where length-to-width ratio and overall proportions can influence how a stone looks in a finished design.
A European manufacturer may require exact measurements for an existing mounting. A retailer may prefer an Oval or Emerald diamond within a defined ratio. A designer may need proportions that support a particular creative direction.
Buyers should consider whether their requirements include:
- Specific length, width or depth measurements
- Preferred length-to-width ratios
- Minimum face-up dimensions
- Outline preferences
- Cut and proportion expectations
- Compatibility with existing mountings
- Matching requirements
- Visual characteristics not explained by grade alone
Bridal and Fine Jewellery
Natural Diamonds for Bridal and Fine-Jewellery Manufacturing
Bridal jewellery remains one of the most commercially important applications for polished natural diamonds.
Retailers may require documented centre stones across several shapes, sizes and quality combinations. Manufacturers may need centre diamonds and matched side stones for repeatable engagement-ring designs. Bespoke jewellers may instead require one particular diamond selected around an individual client's preferences.
Buyers can discuss diamonds for:
- Solitaire engagement rings
- Halo engagement rings
- Three-stone rings
- Side-stone engagement rings
- Wedding and eternity bands
- Anniversary jewellery
- Diamond earrings
- Solitaire necklaces and pendants
- Bespoke bridal commissions
A balanced bridal assortment may combine recognisable core options with selected fancy-shaped diamonds for customers seeking a more individual design.
Matching and Calibration
Matching and Calibration for Jewellery Manufacturing
Matching becomes especially important when several diamonds will be used in one piece of jewellery.
Diamond earrings, three-stone rings, eternity bands, tennis bracelets, tennis necklaces and other multi-stone designs may require consistency across measurements, shape, colour, clarity and visual appearance.
For manufacturers, calibration can also influence setting efficiency and production repeatability. Diamonds that vary substantially in size or proportion may require adjustments and can produce an uneven finished appearance.
Buyers can discuss requirements for:
- Matched diamond pairs
- Coordinated side stones
- Calibrated diamond selections
- Eternity-band layouts
- Tennis-bracelet and necklace layouts
- Multi-stone jewellery
- Repeatable manufacturing specifications
- Replacement stones for established designs
Certification and Documentation
Diamond Certification and Documentation Requirements
Documentation requirements can vary according to the diamond's size, value, destination, intended market and customer expectations.
Some buyers require individual grading reports for centre stones. Others may require commercial documentation appropriate to smaller diamonds, calibrated selections or multi-stone layouts. Import, export, insurance and internal inventory procedures may create additional requirements.
Before meeting Uniglo Diamonds, buyers should identify:
- Whether individual grading reports are required
- Which grading laboratories are accepted
- Information required by inventory systems
- Documentation required for each diamond
- Requirements for parcels, pairs or layouts
- Import or export documentation needs
- Market-specific disclosure expectations
- Traceability or sourcing-information requirements
These matters should be discussed before a final selection is prepared.
Antwerp Expertise
Antwerp Expertise for Italian and European Jewellery Production
Vicenzaoro connects Italian manufacturing expertise with suppliers and buyers from international markets. Uniglo Diamonds contributes an Antwerp-based perspective to this environment.
Antwerp's diamond-trading infrastructure gives Uniglo Diamonds experience working with different shapes, specifications and commercial requirements. The value of that experience depends on how well it supports the buyer's actual product and market.
Uniglo Diamonds therefore begins by understanding what the buyer plans to manufacture, stock or sell. This may involve a retailer sourcing engagement-ring centre stones, an Italian manufacturer preparing a repeat collection, a wholesaler serving several European markets or a designer developing a specialised diamond-led range.
Clear communication, accurate specifications, suitable documentation and consistent follow-up remain essential throughout the relationship.
