Paola De Luca to Release Trendbook 2027+
She will present the 23rd edition of the trend forecasting book at Vicenzaoro on Sept. 7.
Trend forecaster Paola De Luca will present her “Trendbook 2027+” next month, detailing her five key style predictions—“Modular Core,” “Dynamic Movement,” “Coded Couture,” “Converges,” and “Neo-Rituals.”
Vicenza, Italy—Paola De Luca is set to present her annual trend forecast and her latest trend guide during Vicenzaoro.
The trade show will take place Sept. 5-9 at Vicenza’s Expo Centre in Vicenza, Italy.
De Luca will lead two talks at the event while debuting the “Trendbook 2027+” book, with predictions on what will be trending in 2027.
The book is divided into three sections—consumer culture, evolutions and opportunities in the jewelry industry, and the forecast for 2027.
In its 23rd edition, De Luca cites five key themes as her style predictions for 2027—“Modular Core,” “Dynamic Movement,” “Coded Couture,” “Converges,” and “Neo-Rituals.”
As for the trends that will be seen at Vicenzaoro next month, Trendvision Jewellery + Forecasting, the thinktank co-founded by De Luca, has four directions that will define the coming season—modular geometries, spectrum play, quiet elegance, and dynamism.
It predicts that the common thread that links the trends for autumn/winter of 2025-2026 is jewelry as a dynamic expression of the self, profoundly connected to emotional resonance, adaptability, and personal evolution.
Modular geometries will explore jewelry as a system of stackable, interchangeable, and reconfigurable elements.
It can be seen with clean lines and customizable constructions, think stackable rings, detachable links, interchangeable charms, and reconfigurable clasps.
Spectrum play highlights the use of color in jewelry through colored gemstones and enamel. When it comes to the many shades of colors available, the research center notes beaded necklaces, stackable rings, mismatched earrings, and layered necklaces as the styles that will showcase the playful trend.
The quiet elegance trend contrasts with the above as it is rooted in minimalism. It favors soft textures, refined shapes, and sustainable materials.
Satin gold and matte platinum are predicted to be trending, with only small highlights of pearls and diamonds.
Dynamism will introduce movement as a design language, it said.
Inspired by Futurism and Art Deco geometry, this final trend will channel motion through fluid silhouettes, kinetic shapes, and materials that respond to the body, like curved cuffs, modular pins, and expandable links.

At Vicenzaoro, De Luca will first lead a session titled “The Quantum Age. Jewelry and the Convergence of Cultural Transformations” on Saturday, Sept. 6 at 11 a.m. in the Expo Centre’s Palladio Theatre.
The session will discuss how jewelry is no longer just an ornament, the trade show said, but a cultural and technological artifact, a multidimensional, symbolic, modular, and emotional language.
De Luca will introduce the session before handing it off to Samar Younes, theorist of Quantum Culture and founder of Samaritual, who will address the theme of jewelry as a “technology-interface” between tradition, nature, and speculative design.
The next speaker will be Archana Thani, Indian curator, journalist, and jewelry editor of Vogue India.
Then Chinese Cultural Consultant Helen Mao will share an analysis of the changes that are characterizing the Chinese market, where status symbol jewelry becomes a tool for connecting to the “Joy Economy.”
Fabio Salini, a high jewelry designer, will conclude the session as he shares his experimental vision in which unexpected materials and inner searching transform the very concept of jewelry.
On Sunday Sept. 7 at 10:30 a.m., De Luca will present “Trends for Breakfast” at the Educational Hub.
During this session, she will debut “Trendbook 2027+” and focus on market opportunities for 2026 and 2027.
This includes insights into gold and precious metals, colored gemstones, natural and lab-grown diamonds, bridal, pearls, technologies and innovations, and high jewelry.
