Paola De Luca to Debut Trendbook 2026+ at Vicenzaoro
The trend forecaster’s latest guide has intel on upcoming trends in the jewelry market.

De Luca’s “Trendbook 2026+” is an international publication with predictions on what will be trending in 2026 and content and strategies to help readers develop future collections.
The book is divided into three sections. They are consumer culture, evolutions and opportunities in the jewelry industry, and the forecast for 2026.
De Luca cites five main themes in the “Forecast 2026” section of her book—elegance, opulent extravaganza, street coolness, digital nouveau, and wonderland.
In the book, she dives into the stylistic directions, inspirations, atmospheres, technological innovations, craftsmanship, and techniques, and colors of jewelry for each topic.
Vicenzaoro will run Sept. 6-10 at the Vicenza Expo Centre in Vincenza, Italy.
On Sept. 7 and 8, the Italian Exhibition Group’s boutique show will host two style forecasts, both organized by Trendvision Jewellery and Forecasting, IEG's independent observatory directed by De Luca.
“Wonderland. Co-creating Future Culture for Jewellery and Luxury” will take place on Saturday, Sept. 7, at 11 a.m. in the Palladio Theatre.
Industry experts and designers, including De Luca, will come together to focus on the future of jewelry and luxury.
Carlo Pignataro, author and host of podcast Lux and Friends, will discuss how luxury has entered an era of experiential consumption.
Next, Andrea Filippi and Gabriele Moschin from I-Clerk, the Academy of AI Generative Art Professions, will talk about the transformation of creative processes with AI.
Lorraine West, an American jewelry designer, will wrap up the show by discussing the influence of street style and different urban and cultural communities on music, fashion, and jewelry.
On Sunday, Sept. 8, De Luca will present “Trends for Breakfast” at 10:30 a.m. at the Educational Hub.
During this event, she will debut “Trendbook 2026+,” which Vicenzaoro said is a “bible for the entire jewelry industry.”
